Agree, great episode. While I'm sure the show would do interesting things with it, I kind of hope the direction with the mentallics isn't for this Tellem to try to move conscious into Gale, but Gale be dominant mind and just making Gale super powerful. Just wouldn't feel earned.

I think Salvor will save the day somehow

And by Salvor Hardin you mean VAR Hari Seldon

I realised the anagram a few days ago. I tried to find information about this on the internet but couldn't find any. I can't remember if it's mentioned in the books but it can't be a coincidence.

Also, yes. Salvor definitely will save the day.

did i miss something ? Salvor Hardin does not have an e in it so how can it be an anagram to hari sEldon ?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

True, but my guess is that Asimov removed a silent e in Salvor(e) Hardin(e) to make the anagram less obvious.
