Just finished Messiah, good read, now onto Children.

I like how near the end, Stilgar so casually tells Duncan of who he just killed alongside the traitor Fremen: RM Mohiam and Edric the Guild Navigator. I figured such big adversaries would have appropriately dramatic deaths but Stil is just like "yeah I put that fishdude and the witch on ice, no big deal."

Just go straight to God-Emperor, Children sucks rear end and is ultimately pointless.

It's okay, just remember: "The willow submits to the wind and prospers until one day it is many willows - a wall against the wind."

Exploration is ill-advised.
It was aliens, robots, alien robots, evil gods and a really dangerous guy named Steve.

If anyone wants to dive deeper into Dune video game music, I can warmly recommend starting here, as they have the source files and also files transcoded into ogg.
You can also buy this, if you can find it.

We got a copy of Dune:Spice Opera with the original game. Might even still have it in my bookshelf. Either that or my brother might have it, in which case it is lost forever.

Imagine my confusion going straight from Dune to God-Emperor at the age of thirteen. Why we only owned those two I will never know.

We were missing God Emperor until I checked it out of the library at like 15. I think it made it better, maybe just cause I was older.

I’ll tell you this, he might not look like Prochnow but he’s a bajillion times better than Hurt and will make an admirable Duke Leto the Just, son of a bullfighter.

I really like that bit in Dune where Paul is confronting the Emperor, and Jessica restrains the Atreides followers by saying "stay out of his way, he's like his grandfather in this mood."
Is it a reference to the Harkonnen thing? is it another strand to the theme of heredity? Is it a grounding element for the kwisatz haderach? Is it Jessica putting the profoundly weird situation in words her friends can maybe understand? A combination of all of them?
Such a great line, with so much meaning jammed into it. And then @duneauthor goes and makes the old duke get killed by an alien mecha-robo-bull.
