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

We could reprogram you. I would destroy you if you tried.

The Genetic Dynasty

Brother Dawn, Brother Day, and Brother Dusk.

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

Look, I don't know if Brother Constant chose her name deliberately or if it's part of the doctrine of the Church of the Galactic Spirit, but just think.

The three current Cleons, Brother Dawn, Brother Day and Brother Dusk. Confronted by the emissary of the Foundation, the potential foe of Empire whom the Cleons had thought to have died out; who, in contrast to their perpetual waxing and waning is Constant.

(And, to quote some appropriate Julius Caesar III.i.58-65):

I could be well moved if I were as you.

If I could pray to move, prayers would move me.

But I am constant as the Northern Star,

Of whose true fixed and resting quality

There is no fellow in the firmament.

The skies are painted with unnumbered sparks;

They are all fire, and every one doth shine;

But there's but one in all doth hold his place.

The speech Caesar gives just before his murder...
