Paul is crowned the Baywatch Haderach after proving himself an able lifeguard on the sandy shores of Arrakis, with a generous number of scenes filmed in slow motion

He also couldn’t tell me who Jessica was and found it utterly incomprehensible in the second half. He couldn’t explain what he found incomprehensible.

The Atredies visuals are serviceable, but holy poo poo everything Harkonnen is just absolutely perfect. A Giger inspired brutal aesthetic that's utterly fantastic.

Or how the key to breaking the "unbreakable" Suk school conditioning turns out to be "use the guy's wife as leverage against him", a tactic never before dreamed of.

It wasn't just that. His wife was a BG who had her hooks deep into him and was (last he knew) being tortured eternally. If she hadn't been BG or the Harkonnens hadn't been so good at torture it wouldn't have worked.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I also like the reading that Yueh wasn't really a traitor, he just successfully rationalized it as trying to soften the inevitable fall of the Atreides by rescuing Paul and maybe killing the Baron
