edited to add actual content: One thing I always thought was interesting was that Teg was 296 without the spice so clearly, the breeding program was a major success in several ways following Leto II. That and probably medicine and other things and whathaveyou.

Every single person and organization is run by hyper-competent rainmen (except when they're not competent), who always correctly feng shui and color coordinate poo poo for maximum psychological impact, and every family has like 5 separate secret spoken and signed languages. Even the Fremen are shown to have some kind of plastic production facility for making various stuff. They can make some metal guns for killing smugglers or Fremen.

It's like if every oil well emitted a energy field only allowing a special kind of gun to work near it. Every PMC would have a few of those babies.

You wouldn't dare say this in chakobsa, the secret battle language of the Atreides that everyone happens to recognize immediately as chakobsa, the secret battle language of the Atreides.

Brilliant Atreides strategy at work.

Makes sense. One guy with a shield can block most of a small passage while kung fu Atreides kick and punch and phase past them. Just weirding all over the place.

“The tribe will collect his water soon,” Dhuri said. She crossed to Otheym, propped pillows behind him, held his shoulder to steady him until the coughing passed. She wasn’t really very old, Paul saw, but a look of lost hopes ringed her mouth, bitterness lay in her eyes.

“I’ll summon doctors,” Paul said.

Dhuri turned, hand on hip. “We’ve had medical men, as good as any you could summon.” She sent an involuntary glance to the barren wall on her left.

And the medical men were costly, Paul thought.

There's something in Chapterhouse when Lucilla is being held captive where she thinks about the symptoms of withdrawal and how her implant is slowly doling out little bits of spice, but that it only lasts a certain amount of time.

On my phone or I'd post the text.

Tangentially connected, Azam Ali sang that song (Inama Nushif). She also did an album based almost entirely off of the poetry of Rumi. 'The Hunt' is a really good one, whether you speak Persian or not.

I don't know about them creating Yueh and I don't remember any specific implications that they did, but something from the later novels where Waff and then Scytale just offhandedly say, "oh, you sought we kwisatz haderach? Yeah, we made one of those. He went insane and killed himself." Like it's nothing.

Lots of weird stuff just popped up in later novels.

We'd expect nothing less of a 92nd-level swordmaster of the 10th school of Ginaz.

There's a point right when they arrive in Arrakeen where they make a deal about resetting all of their clocks to local time, and Idaho makes a drunken fool of himself at 2am following the dinner party, as noted by Jessica.
