Just finished the episode. As usual the Empire stuff is the most exciting. Naked Cleon fighting those assassins was pretty good stuff. The whole first season and still during this episode it has felt like there has been 2 entirely separate shows. I hope we see these two story lines cross again soon.

The stuff with Seldon having to be reminded about 3D objects having 2D shadows seems quite silly. I get that thinking in 4 dimensions is pretty high level thought, but after reading things like the Three Body Problem trilogy with how descriptive it is with the 4D weirdness and beyond it feels quite mundane. I suppose I should be mindful of the stories origins and the time period in which it was written. Assuming such aspects have anything to do with the source material. I’m not very far in the book so I can’t say for sure.
