Getting whiplash with how many times Seldon is dying and being resurrected ATM. Even if this is a fake out, it's getting a bit much

Could be real this time, they don't need this Seldon anymore now that the seeds of the Second Foundation have been sown.

True, but from a storytelling perspective, it doesn't make sense to me to bring him back without explanation just to kill him off the next episode. Its jarring

He hasn't really told Gaal his plan yet, even though she saw most of it and can infer much from the prime radiant.

But I think he was given a body precisely so that Tellem would read him and see that he was actually not a threat to them but their greatest potential ally.

Jesus was dead for 3 days and then reborn.

Seldon is going for the opposite record.
