Foundation | Demerzel Reveals Her Intentions to Day | Season 2 Episode 9

[refulgent_fanta]

I wonder if Day realized here that he's nothing and Demerzel is the real Empire.

[comingverysoon]

Watching this scene for the first time was totally mind-blowing. Possibly the peak moment of the series for me, so far. Watching Day humiliated and belittled like that out of nowhere threw me for a loop.
Of course, it all made sense by the end of the finale.

[Arrakis]

So much going on under the words. She’s done a calculation, weighed up salvaging the situation on Trantor against saving this man from himself, and made the only logical choice. And having made that decision in the blink of an eye, her whole attitude towards him changes. Her only concern is in ensuring he’s too stunned to prevent her from leaving.

[wayando]

That was cold ... She basically told him that he is her puppet! 😂😂😂

[Robert-Peterson]

This was the scene that revealed that Demerzel was actually the one running the empire. Her utterly disrespectful dismissal of Day and her commandments to the guards to prepare to leave were straight up boss moments.

[Brendissimo]

I absolutely lost it when she called him a sperm. Hilarious.

[morwickchesterham]

In the books, Cleon is just one person, and not that important... but in the series I think the Cleon story (which is pretty much made up in the series) became very interesting, and is an important lesson about not remaining stagnant... I also like how much detail they go into developing the Cleon 'universe', especially with all the colours, costumes, palaces, the variations between clones, and the sexy maternal Demerzel version of the original robot Daneel.

[Deathshack]

This moment threw me into another dimension with how good of a twist this very moment was. Honestly the writing for this show is beyond exceptional and I don't think I will find another show like this!

[hugogoncalves]

Very difficult book to adapt to TV. but they are doing a good job. The books cover thousands of years and it would be extremely difficult to create empathy with the characters if they changed in each season. very creative the way they resolved this situation these writers deserve the raise

I dated a girl like her. She said the meanest things in the nicest way.

[mjdmjd]

what an absolutely amazing series, i'm glad it's getting some more recognition after season 2 but i still think it's underrated...

[hbko]

Lovely moment. Day is so toxic and full of himself, he definitely needed the reminder. It's amazing how in the entire series so far only Dusk has been shown to grasp the full scope of their situation.

[catsupchutney]

The empire half of Foundation story line was/is terrific.

[laurenr]

This was great. Absolute mugging off (very satisfying because let’s face it he’s an absolute gimp). Interesting she says “I had to leave a lot in your formative years”…perhaps something to do with Dusk (his memories/using another clone etc)…? Great episode. I’m glad madam robot is getting her time. She was the most interesting character from the start pretty much, certainly in this season. 🎉

I'm NGL, I LOVE seeing Day get read for filth, which happens multiple times during the series. Lee always responds in so satisfying a way that I just laugh and get my life. This scene and the scene with Halima reading him are two of my favorite scenes.

[SKM_Freal]

I only started box setting Foundation on Sunday and what a phenomenal series!! I'm gonna have to watch it all again so much stuff i missed by boxing it but the story and plots in plots and Lee Pace have all got me addicted and who doesn't love Hari??

[rbcoffee]

I honestly hope the writers don't alter Demerzel's directive at all, or 'redeem' her. I hope they keep her locked in her programming, constantly fighting against her directive, manipulating things from the background. Harry Seldon seems to understand what is happening, hence why he spoke directly to Demerzel, ignoring Cleon, when they entered the vault, and giving her the Prime Radiant. If you think about it, Demerzel's directive is to protect the Genetic Dynasty, and so Harry provides her with the tools to allow for it to persist as long as possible, while also allowing for the inevitable - but planned - collapse of the Empire. Obviously, it's just speculation while I wait for the 3rd season.

[Flyt]

Irony of this scene is that brother Dusk actually saved Demerzel in here by entering secret chamber, in efect killing himself.

[phoqueanonyme]

What not to love about this scene, perfection !

[isessogroup]

You are NOT him... Every fiber of him broke like egg shells against iron
