The three emperors in Foundation, Dawn, Day and Dusk, is an insane concept and I don't think I've ever seen a weird sci-fi government premise so compelling before??

You've got 3 clones of the same Emperor from centuries ago, perpetually cloned, a kid, an adult and an old man, and each will be all three within his lifetime. When you're kid, you learn from the older ones, when you're adult you rule, and when you're old you guide. The old one, Dusk, has had the two clones before him - his "brothers" from when he was Dawn - die, and now he's them, and he has new, younger brothers. Each Day sees his own past in little brother Dawn and his future in Dusk. Each clone has been raised by himself and will raise himself. They watch themselves be born just before they die.

They're triplets and son-father-grandfather all at once.

The cycle has repeated for centuries and yet each generation obviously has its unique distinctions, each clone his individual life. The first emperor's way of becoming immortal wraps around to being a constant reminder of mortality, because he's dying again and again and again.

Their love - and hatred - for each other is such a weird and complicated thing I'm going crazy. FINALLY SOME CLONING WEIRDNESS WHERE THE IMPLICATIONS IN IDENTITY ARE ACTUALLY EXPLORED BEYOND JUST 'HAVING THE SAME FACE'

FOUNDATION | S1 The Genetic Dynasty If the galaxy comes to believe their leaders are less than, rather than more than themselves, they may cease to follow. We are a glass vessel… spun with a fine hand. If the pressures inside start to swirl and we are not uniform… we may burst.

The amazing thing about emperor cleon is that his perceived infallibility is the thing that makes him utterly wretched. He made this perfect system of self aggrandizement… a utopia of the ego… and it fucking bores him to death! The ennui is so palpable he literally nukes planets to death on intergalactic television just to feel something! When he goes to bed at night he can’t sleep because he’s haunted by himself. He is actually, actively chased around in generational circles by different versions of himself and his own face so that he can never escape his own self-loathing! He’s trapped in this snow globe of a palace with this ancient Grecian level of torment for (ideally) all eternity and what does he do about it? Serves cunt and kills people. Iconic. I hate him. I love him. I want to do a wildlife documentary about him

Brother Dawn, Brother Day, and Brother Dusk.

From the AppleTV adaptation of Issac Asimov’s series ‘Foundation.’ Big fan of the show :)

Brother Dawn: A previous version of me tried to escape the palace and he died for it. Since I was a child I had that warning/threat hanging over my head. I'm not going to risk my life for any of your schemes.

Sareth: So, ready to help me enact a coup by cuckolding your 'brother' and siring the future heir to the empire instead of him, by way of reversing your infertility via this exceptionally painful looking device my minion filched from the med bay?

Brother Dawn, drunk on kisses: Yes please.

oh shit the apprentices of the church of seldon are all called "brother" because the emperors are called "brother" right? like it hit me that it could not be a coincidence. hari's cloning + the whole remaining there through the centuries obviously echoes the genetic dynasty's "imperishable permanence" but the title. it's gotta be deliberate on the foundation's part to demystify empire (while unwittingly setting hari up to take on the same role)
