Things like movies, books, games, songs, etc just what was the best one you even experienced that you kinda wish you could do for the first time again, also what made it so good?

    Jeez, won me back at the last second there. I don’t particularly like the first book, but I thought the sequels were maybe the worst sci-fi I’ve ever actually sat all the way through. Never read the prequels.

    I’ve seen a lot of people mad that the Apple TV show isn’t a faithful adaptation, but I don’t think they really had any choice. The first story in the first book has the strongest hook of any of them, and kinda has to be where you start. The sequel books are basically not adaptable by virtue of being borderline incoherent. So that leaves you with more or less just the first book, which would already be a complete mess to adapt faithfully because you’d have to completely restart the show over again and shift POV to Salvor after the very first episode.

      What you call the first book is maybe the integral trilogy?

      To me the first book ends with hober mallow, and the trilogy ends with arkady.

      The prequels follows hari seldon and is kinda neat, it’s kinda more adventurous and less political but very pleasant to follow.

      Dors venabili best girl, can’t change my mind.
