Does anyone recognize the similarity's between the 8th episode of "foundation" and the movie "Event Horizon". Ar those Easter Eggs or just coincidentally? What do you think?
Unfortunately, I too saw the similarity which is why I tried to ignore it.
The problem is that 'Event Horizon' was a space-horror schlock film, highly influenced by Clive Barker's work, esp the 'Hellraiser' series.
In other words, the writers are allowing for that mixture of horror-fantasy to infuse with Sci-Fi so that supernatural abilities, portals to hell, demonic possession, etc, could be used further down the road as plot devices.
And that for me, is the end of the Foundation but a start of a some Aliens-Hellraiser-The Grudge hybrid sort of abomination which isn't here or there. I suspect that that's when they give up on an 'Expanse' Sci-Fi theme but more of a Jump The Shark horror series like 'Supernatural' in space.

I hope I'm wrong.
