Fourth episode good. The added Cleons subplot is really solid. Injects soul into the story the original lacks. Also a good way to keep Demerzel/Daneel actively in the story.

Also the slow approach shield technology seems like a pointless Dune borrow. I’m guessing an assassination subplot on Day is being setup. Which they also side-shadowed via the poison-testing scene for Dawn. Not encrypting this prediction since it doesn’t seem that important.

The Cleons clones plot has really turned into a sort of mind worm for me
Btw “clones” is an anagram of “cleons”
I really like the brother dawn/brother day/brother dusk scene. Started calling my 17 year old cat ‘brother dusk.’ Nice way to grapple with mortality.

Episode 4 steers the plot back towards the Asimov Plan, though slightly differently from how I expected.

The Gaal backstory is kinda unnecessary Wakanda sideshow though. I’d rather see the Raych heat sinks story.

Ep. 4 has a subplot on Luminism religion that seems vaguely like a Bene Gesserit ripoff. 😵💫

The parts that kinda drag are the parts that clearly borrow from Dune type fantasies. I guess fantasy is more popular so it’s a pragmatic move but still 😐
