The basis fans were completely absent from this details on how to lose a mule

The following post contains heavy Spoilers For the entire third season of the “Foundation”.

The third season “Foundation” changed things when he presented the mule, which is the conqueror with psychological abilities that could control the minds of the masses. This was different from the previous two seasons, as the villain was just an abstract magnitude of the Hungarian Empire. By bringing the mule, the “basis” became more focused, with every story that touches the threat of this light, even if it is only accidental. We had a unique entity, a person who could be killed, as opposites, instead of a group of cloned emperors that could be replaced when pressing the button.

For this reason, the audience knows that the mule will be eventually defeated, if not by GAL DORNICK (Lou Llobell) and the institution, then at least over time – a very large part of the show, since we have already jumped forward about 300 years ago since the beginning of the first season. However, the problem is the amount of damage that the mule can cause, especially now after the third season ended with the fall of FMPIRE and the basis that was mainly opened by the mule – Who happened to be a completely different person from what we thought at first.

However, this is still “mainly”, a bare moments that reveal some hope at the end of suffering. At the end of the season, Amid the death of some favorite characters for fansDimirzil robot gave us a hidden hint about how to defeat the mule, and you are likely to have missed its importance.

It comes to seeing GAAL and Demerzel’s interpretation. Earlier this season, Demerzel was told about a vision for the future, in which it would have made a safe haven for the second institution within the TranTor Empire, but that also led to its discovery in the end by the mule and the battle. This creates a paradox in Demerzel, where you do not know whether to directly betray the foundation and abandon it or cause them indirectly by giving them this safe haven in the same place.

In the conclusion of the season, Demerzel chooses, and it may be the most important thing we have seen they do throughout the season, and the key to stopping the mule.

In episode 9, Demerzel consults another robot about the vision and its dilemma, and he was told that if the result is that the second foundation will be found, Demerzel has an option when you want to give the foundation to the mule. Neither she nor the audience is certain that Demerzel will give the second foundation directly, but its logic is assumed that, given the result, the fact that it leads them to the place where they will face means that it is somehow responsible.

However, in the end, Demerzel is tragicly killed before you can take this choice. It does not have a single interaction with the mule, nor does it do or say anything that can give a hint regarding the location of the second institution. However, she chooses The second institution leads to the Imperial Library in Tranur (their house in books) Before her death, the ambassador of the Foundation on this planet, QUET (Cherry Jones), shows how to reach it.

This is important because it, through Demerzel death when she did so, did not get the choice between betraying the second foundation. Instead, she had to do something good because she thought it was true (but mostly because she had achieved her thinking in staying in the long term of the empire). For this reason you tell Quent to go to the library because “this is the future that Seldon wants.” It ends up that Demerzel, a person technically outside the psychological, but also a co -author, who managed to solve the mule problem by saving one group of people who can defeat it. After all, the mule is meaning, a person has strong psychological capabilities, and the second basis is made entirely of Mentalllics, which means that they have the best opportunity to defeat the mule.

Now this The “basis” for the fourth season was renewedWe can predict what will be dealt with next season. It is clear that the threat of mule is still a great priority, as the Hungarian Empire collapsed after the death of all cloning of Cleion, except for one (technically two, but one with the mule). Since we do not get any closure of this story, the fourth season will certainly focus on the transmission of Bayta/The MULE to conquer the empire.

With the closure of the mule on tranor, this is the place where the last Demerzel law will take place before death, as the second foundation, which is there, hidden in the imperial capital, will give them an advantage in fighting mule. This coincides with the original David S. Goyer’s display plan for “Foundation” to finish adapting the original “ISAAC Asimov” books “in Four Seasons. This means that the next season will often be around the mule and Tranor, while too Explore the seeds planted in the last scene of the season.

Regarding the second institution, there is possible that there is a conflict between the first and second basis in the fourth season or even 5, as the show has decreased hints throughout the third season, which will not be happy with the first basis to know that it was manipulated by a second group all the time. There is also the fact that David S. Goyer has published some text pages from the deleted scenes in a blog post now, which included a scene from Bayta speaking to Amnesty International for Seldon and suggesting an alliance to find and destroy the second foundation together, which is only bad news for everyone.
