In the first episode, we learned that Brother Dusk (Terrence Mann) is not really looking forward to giving up his life. Instead, as it is ominously described, the targets of the Novacula are “forever changed.”And yet, visually, this is very much a planet murder, on par with the Death Star from Star Wars, or the Doomsday Machine from Star Trek. Dawn is a spy for the Second Foundation, which, on some level, is a sideways reference to the original novels. Is he really working for the Second Foundation, or is he just trying to weaponize psychohistory to benefit Empire? Because if the Dawn, the good guy Emperor, ends up having a Death Star, what does that mean?
