The character names and setting alone mean it's not a direct adaptation, and seems to be all in name…but go off again about this thing you hate I guess dude.
The knives people get out for Brian because he wrote things a little more pulpy and soapy and less cerebral than his dad borders on toxic.
I don't hate Brian Herbert at all. If he wants to milk his father's work for all its worth then go ahead, I'd do the exact same thing. -

I have read the book once or twice many years ago but don't remember a lot so have no issues around true to the book arguments.
I missed this post by you Tiste! So glad you enjoyed it.
Part II comes out in November I believe.
Oh, and something we've not talked a lot about...
The TV show started shooting in November (DUNE: SISTERHOOD on HBO Max; a prequel that details the beginnings of the Bene Gesserit order 10k years before DUNE....specifically Villenueve's DUNE, so I expect design similarities)...and the cast is pretty fucking STACKED.
Emily Watson - Valya Harkonnen
Shirley Henderson - Tula Harkonnen
Indira Varma - Empress Natalya
Sarah-Sofie Boussnina - Princess Ynez
Shalom Brune Franklin - Mikaela
Faoileann Cunningham - Sister Jen
Aoife Hinds - Sister Emeline (Ciran Hinds daughter!)
Chloe Lea - Lila
Travis Fimmel - Desmond Hart
Mark Strong - Emperor Javicco Corrino (Um... Mark Strong as the Emperor of the time? YES PLEASE)
Jade Anouka - Sister Theodosia
Chris Mason - Keiran Atreides
Josh Heuston - Constantine Corrino
Edward Davis - Harrow Harkonnen
Oh god they're adapting the Butlerian Jihad aren't they. It's already a write off due to that fact alone.
That adaptation is based on Brian Herbert's ideas, so I'll completely ignore that series. -

Been Caught Stealing is IMO Jane's Addiction's blandest song. I still can't comprehend how it's their biggest hit. -

Abyss, on 14 February 2023 - 03:54 AM, said:I liked how that was done. Ganoes goes off and has his own adventure, then re-enters the story in time for the finale. It was a nice reminder there's a whole world around the story that hasn't stopped just because the most important events are the ones we're reading.
I would have liked it if they'd mentioned what exactly he's been up to between TBH and TCG. I didn't like how he merely re-enters the story out of the blue. -

So no thoughts on how Ganoes and the Hosts are handled after TBH?
