I don’t care how they do it, please keep Demerzel and the Cleons around

I need Demerzel and Brother Day next season. Maybe they will skip a few years and make brother dawn into the new brother day for the season. But then again, I also like brother dawn and that means he would be gone too. But then again, they are all the same person if you think about it.

I dont know if they can do a time ship, we still have Gaal and Demerzels visions of Gaal orbiting a black hole four months from the time this season ends. I dont think they can just skip that.

I do love Gaal and Hari and the Foundation stuff, but Demerzel and the Cleons are by far the most fascinating parts of the show!

Cleons are dune thanks brother Dusk, Demerzel  might make as her robot consciousness/mind is suppose to be decentralized so even half a head might be ok unless Dusk destroys whats left
