Harkonnen spider thing is just a little Easter egg to the tleilaxu obviously but I will enjoy the inevitable 2 hour YouTube video about how it is somehow proof of a connection between Dennis duneiverse and blade runner

They're not incorrect visions so much as they are possible futures depending on what paths he takes.

Jamis has similar dialogue in both the visions and in "real" life which was a nice touch too.

It shows that Paul is prescient, but that things won't necessarily go down the way he thinks. Jamis promises to show him the ways of the desert, and he does. By trying to kill Paul the first time they meet.

phasmid posted:I don't think the spider is Wanna. That would require some outside help. In that vein, I suggest the creature is a nod to the Tleilaxu, who don't appear in the first book. Maybe not in person, but they are referenced by name, as the source of the "twisted Mentats" like Piter.

If I recall correctly it's when Paul is learning about Arrakis back on Caladan, before they head off to claim the fief.

How did humanity (such that it is) find Arrakis in the first place? How did space travel work before? Is that never mentioned at all? It isn't required to enjoy any of this but I got my start with Dune playing 'Dune: Battle for Arrakis' on the Sega Genesis.

There was still FTL travel before melange, but it was insanely risky.

Jewmanji posted:Where is it first explained how spice is required for space travel? I can’t find it In the movie everyone knows that spice is needed for space travel, and that’s why it’s so expensive. The filmstrip that Paul watches explains this and also seems to write off the health benefits as simple native beliefs. In the book it’s flipped: everyone knows that spice is the most expensive thing in the world because it slows aging and buys you more life. It’s secret that navigators use it, and IIRC the reveal is at the end when a navigator’s contact lens pops out and his eyes are so blue that they look black.

KakerMix posted:How did humanity (such that it is) find Arrakis in the first place? How did space travel work before? Is that never mentioned at all? So the spice isn’t the actual method they use to travel. They use standard sci-fi FTL/hyperdrive/warp/jump drives to do that. What spice lets you do, is get so high you can choose the future where you randomly happen to arrive at your intended destination instead of inside a star or something. Before spice they just used navicomputers like sensible people, but they had a big religious revolution thousands of years before the story where they banned all computers. That’s also what Thufir and the Barons creepy assistant are about when they do that weird blink. They use a combination of training, breeding, and drugs (drugs solve a lot of problems in Dune) to fulfill the role of Microsoft Excel since computers will get you burned at the stake. Also the logic behind why the compass Duncan gives Paul is stated to be “advanced clockwork”. And why Paul’s book is a fancy projector instead of a tablet like it would be in another setting.

Shouldn't there be a ton of old-rear end Fremen given that they're soaking in it? Like yeah the desert will take the weak but if you're eating anagathics all day every day, you'd surely be seeing some benefit.
