Poly stuff being prominent in tv is probably driven by it being popular with the writers and their cohort. Like how every tv show is about going to the psychologist because that’s how writers spend their time.

also because it's a way to have shows about/featuring relationships not be exactly the same as the million preceding shows

Speleothing posted:Also, all the Bene Gesseret plots are now coming to fruition about 20 years too early and slightly hosed up. The plan as I think is implied is: so jessica being horny for leto plunged the galaxy into a bloody jihad instead of a managed transfer of power into the hands of a superbrain or is this an example of mark twain's "there were two reigns of terror" quote

Doctor Jeep posted:so jessica being horny for leto plunged the galaxy into a bloody jihad instead of a managed transfer of power into the hands of a superbrain the bene gesserit probably may have hosed it up anyway. maybe the thousand year long eugenics program is some "when prophecy fails" scenario. they've actually been 2 marriages away from the messiah for 950 years.

Doctor Jeep posted:so jessica being horny for leto plunged the galaxy into a bloody jihad instead of a managed transfer of power into the hands of a superbrain I think the jihad, or at least Leto II's reign of terror and the famine/scattering, were inevitable because the KH's supercharged prescience would recognize it to be the only way to prevent the extinction of humanity regardless if he was made "the right way" or whatever.

indigi posted:seems very similar to Hari Seldon in Foundation (never read either) basically yeah, although the end of the series leaves it kind of ambiguous because there are people and machines that have become explicitly invisible to prescience, so there's a suggestion that it might have all ultimately been for nothing because what was presumed to be perfect prediction has explicit blind spots that are used to break out of the essentially predetermined future. Presumably this would have been addressed in the final book but oh well.
