IPAs taste like poo poo, and they're only common because bad breweries can cover up cheap ingredients with potent flavors.

I think dune can be filmed with subtlety When I watch season 3 of hannibal. When grahm talks to bedelia i think 'this is almost dune-like'

There's no way he could fight Lecter like he did in the book. He'd be too busy doing that juddery stammer thing and blinking constantly as though he's hallucinating.

Remember the episode with the guy who's a furry or otherkin who identities as a extinct species of bear from the ice age, so he made himself hydraulic power armor out of bear bones that he wears to kill people?

To my shame I actually liked that crazy poo poo episode. I was sitting there going "damnit kid, if you just used a metal cast of the bones instead of the actual organic matter! god, it's science! aren't you in this for science?" I figured if there's anyone who can fool forensics it'll be someone in forensics but they are human too, I guess.  Evergreen.

He'd make a good Piter. If they made Children of Dune, he's about the right age and type to play The Preacher. Fenring would also be an interesting choice. uber_stoat posted:i like the rematch where Jack kicks Hannibal's rear end. Jack won the first time, really. It's just that Hannibal is good at playing possum.

I was going to say Piter as well, Mads is one of my totes heterosexual crushes  Fenrig, being a Sardaukar I expect him to be more physically imposing tbh but I can't remember how he was described in the novels (short and stocky?).

The face was weaselish with overlarge dark eyes. There was gray at the temples. And his movements—he moved a hand or turned his head one way, then he spoke another way. It was difficult to follow.

An older version of Tim Roth's character in Rob Roy is sort of how I imagine Fenring, except we never get to see him fight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7lhMAOxLxw&t=59s

Such as shame that the he was advertised as a super-goku but doesn't do much? Didn't he refuse to fight Paul at the end as well? God, my memories are so fuzzy about Dune which can only mean one thing: A complete re-read time

God, my memories are so fuzzy about Dune which can only mean one thing: A complete re-read time He’s implied to be a failed branch of the Kwisatz Haderach program iirc, there’s a branch of time Paul sees where Fenrig kills him but he ultimately recognizes Paul’s legitimacy and does nothing.

Fenring, Paul and Leto are all creations of the B.G. and are thus very suspicious of their motives. I read it as Fenring telling the powers to kiss his rear end for using him like a tool. He doesn't even get mad when the Emperor clocks him (although he does remind his old friend gently that he could cut him in five before the first piece hit).

I always imagined Fenrig as Prince Valium from spaceballs no lie e: was also just thinking how chapterhouse has the same ending as the original run of arrested development

So here's a thing: something that's always kind of bugged me is that I don't really buy the inevitable jump from "taking over Arrakis" to "galactic jihad". For the better part of two whole books Paul keeps going on about woe is me, there's no possible way to stop this jihad, nope, nothing I can do, fire up the death squads. But it does precious little to actually show why this is; we see Fremen fired up to overthrow the Harkonnens at the end of Dune in a way that makes Paul nervous, but all of the Fremen prophecy and mythology we see revolves around fighting off oppressors and making Arrakis a better place, not so much "and then when that's done go on and take over the galaxy". It's not implausible, certainly, but it definitely doesn't feel like it should be the only path. Now, I realize that two major themes of the books are the trap of prescience, and how leaders are often shoehorned into a course of action due to larger forces beyond their control. In the case of Leto Sr. being coerced into giving up Caladan for Arrakis it makes a lot of sense, since he's just one player out of many and not the strongest. But Paul being king poo poo of the universe and just going along with it feels like a cop-out. And maybe that's the point, if Paul is just as much of a power hungry rear end in a top hat as everyone else and only blames "fate" as a way to appease his conscience, then that's perfect. I'm just wondering if there's something else there that I'm missing. TL;DR the galactic jihad feels like a case of "we're doing it because it's in the script" (i.e. because Paul foresees it) rather than having any in-universe justification.

The collective unconscious did it. The empire senses its own stagnancy and unconsciously conspired to bring on the war. Paul’s assumption of the regency was calculated to start that war by making a political settlement which would provoke conflict between the imperial elite and the Fremen — even if Shaddam picks more or less comfy exile, the Landsraad can’t accept getting made redundant by a bunch of desert barbarians.

Paul felt trapped because he foresaw the stagnation and extinction of humanity if he stopped the jihad, but he pretty much stopped thinking about it there. The alternative was dealing with a bunch of pissed off super-soldiers who were necessary for consolidating his rule and having to become a gross worm guy for thousands of years to actually fix the future.

Paul has a moment when he and Jessica are in the desert after the attack, he basically comprehends a few options to survive, one of the least bad of which is where he hijacks a prophecy towards jihad... He was just trying to not die and he feels enslaved by his gifts lol
