    Ok, after a great finale, I can say that season 2 was definitely a step-up from season 1. Basically the Empire thread continued to be great and the Foundation thread finally became much more interesting and more interweaved with the Empire story line. I even stopped caring that it barely follows the books.

    Hober Mallow / Bel Riose death scene was masterfully done.

    That can’t be said about Salvor’s death however. I replayed the scene about 5 times and I can’t wrap my head around it, am I the only one? Shouldn’t have Gaal be the one who got blasted? I think they must have broken the 180-degree rule or something because I was sure the whole time Salvor was opposite to Gaal with Josiah being between them but that can’t logically be true. Such a badly filmed/edited scene, though a complete outlier compared to the rest of the show.

    And so much for my theory that Josiah would become the Mule, with the neck scar being the distinguishing mark, lol.
