Well, I am surprised that I actually found this episode the first in this season that's actually very enjoyable. Last season, Empire arcs are great but foundation arc is cringe if not boring. This is probably the first episode where I am fully interested in both story arcs. The characters of Bel Riose, Mallow, the drunk and the monk are actually enjoyable characters to watch on screen as opposed to an extremely cringe Salvor Hardin. I also feel like Jared Harris is not being wasted. Appreciate the writers are finally giving more of a call back to the ideas of psychohistory, whether or not it stays shall be seen but this is a good start. I want more and will be excited for next week.
