FOUNDATION (2021-) | 2.08: The Last Empress

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

The three emperors in Foundation, Dawn, Day and Dusk, is an insane concept and I don't think I've ever seen a weird sci-fi government premise so compelling before??

You've got 3 clones of the same Emperor from centuries ago, perpetually cloned, a kid, an adult and an old man, and each will be all three within his lifetime. When you're kid, you learn from the older ones, when you're adult you rule, and when you're old you guide. The old one, Dusk, has had the two clones before him - his "brothers" from when he was Dawn - die, and now he's them, and he has new, younger brothers. Each Day sees his own past in little brother Dawn and his future in Dusk. Each clone has been raised by himself and will raise himself. They watch themselves be born just before they die.

They're triplets and son-father-grandfather all at once.

The cycle has repeated for centuries and yet each generation obviously has its unique distinctions, each clone his individual life. The first emperor's way of becoming immortal wraps around to being a constant reminder of mortality, because he's dying again and again and again.

Their love - and hatred - for each other is such a weird and complicated thing I'm going crazy. FINALLY SOME CLONING WEIRDNESS WHERE THE IMPLICATIONS IN IDENTITY ARE ACTUALLY EXPLORED BEYOND JUST 'HAVING THE SAME FACE'

Just watched a video where Will Poulter reads someone’s comment about how he’s always the first search result when you Google “the actor with the eyebrows” and I’m so??… Did Lee Pace grow all that hair for Nothing?? Smh. Those mofos were so big that when they cast his baby clone and old clone counterparts on the foundation show, their eyebrows got their own audition. I say this lovingly.

They’re so distinctive that they’re like some sort of symbolic thread in the woodwork of the show representing the prime of the emperor’s life. Unbelievable.
