Again apologies for releasing 2 Foundation eps in a row. Now you're going to get 2 Dune episodes in a row. Harkonnens gonna "woo" Thufir to serve the Harkonnens but also poison him. Seems foolish to think he'd ever truly be loyal to Harkon
So Apple done released the first two episodes of Foundation on AppleTV and we're here to dive in. The show may pull items from books later in the series but the show is VERY different than Foundation the book; Kleon of the Entun clones, a Gaal
