Sorry guys I was being rhetorical. I think the infrastructure plus spice makes sense but especially the spice. It makes perfect sense to charge a high cost if you are running on the stuff. It's like how fuel surcharges vastly inflate airline tickets.

It's not that crazy considering people basically do this in real life, often without any special training.

Yes Ah but Lady Fenring is BG so she had background. Remember the War of Assassins is the only legal form of conflict, so all of the Great Houses are gonna be good at Tradecraft. Especially the Atreides with their long running feud with the Harkonnen.

The Guild are also the bankers of the setting, which makes sense.

How did Yueh score himself a BG wife? I guess if you're not snagged into a millennia long breeding programme early on you're a free agent?

I think it's pretty simple. The Guild and the Fremen have more complex currency (always centered around purchasing spice or selling spice, respectively) and so for the rest of the galaxy you just have a standard galactic "dollar": the solari.

IIRC the Encyclopedia has a page or two about how the Guild is structured like a modern megacorp.

muscles like this! posted:Well a Suk doctor with Imperial Conditioning will probably end up somewhere important. Yeah and even if he doesn't, there are a lot of Bene gesserits and traits like "was able to succeed in a prestigious medical training school" are probably desirable in some degree to the breeding program without being important on the same level as securing feyd's jizz

I think it’s between the jailed Mohaim and Jessica. They definitely recreate that in the miniseries.

Defiance Industries posted:6,300,000 solaris = 1 gram of spice, according to the appendix in Dune "Muad’Dib claimed the spice as a key to his prophetic powers. Guild navigators make similar claims. Its price on the Imperial market has ranged as high as 620,000 Solaris the decagram." A decagram is 10 grams, so 1 gram of spice is 62,000 solaris (so you were only wrong by 10,000%  .

I'm sad Jared Harris with giant fake eyebrows won't play Thufir. Actually just make a Dune movie where every role is Jared Harris except for Gurney, who is just Patrick Stewart again.

Rewatching the Lynch movie and just now noticed that Mohiam says "kull wahad" after Paul keeps his hand in the box. Literally seen this movie more than 20 times and that's the first time I've noticed it.
