  • I have the same surname as one of the most important composers in music history from the 1500-1600. It wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t a musician, and a composer specifically, myself.

    Every people I’ve interacted with in my trade has made some remarks on it, and if someone searches “[name] composer” they obviously won’t get to my music!









  • I’m not going to shit on your excitement, I just want to give my perspective (and I liked the show!).

    You’re right, this is a series that “builds a world”. The main grip I (as many others) have, in relation to the books, is that the books build a universe and a whole history, in addition to the series. The characters themselves, aside from Hari Seldon and a couple of others, are relatively unimportant, and that’s the beauty of it: it’s a way of showing how psychohistory works, by not focusing on the individual but the whole society around them.

    This, of course, is quite difficult to translate to screen, but having one character being “the special one” goes really against the whole spirit of the worldbuilding set in the books (and that’s why I’m quite interested in seeing how they portray The Mule). The gender and ethnicity changes I couldn’t care less, but these kind of things… eh, they strip the story of what made it special in the first place.
