In which we discuss Foundation, S2E03 "King and Commoner."

It's an episode for old friends!

Remember Bel Riose from Foundation and Empire? We finally get to meet him in the AppleTV+ universe and he's refreshingly like his counterpart from the source material, steadfast and impressive.

We also meet Hober Mallow who maybe has a sprinkling of his namesake from the book but appears to be a mashup of several other characters including a big dollop of the Outrageous Okona from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The good news is that he's hilarious!

Also, Gaal is mystified by what's going on with Hari's "old friend" Kalle.

As our special guest, we welcome back Rick Tetrault of ⁠That Star Trek Podcast⁠ and the ⁠Infinite Potato Network! Rick has been a friend of Stars End since before our very first episode!

And speaking of old friends, what the hell just happened to Hari?

You don't want to miss this one! Let's go!
