Dune is fuckin' rad, the SyFy miniseries was pretty good as well, all things considered.

I literally just finished Chapterhouse and I dunno, I think it's a bit less rad than D U N E.

I'm assuming sandworms can't just up and eat people / animals due to the water content, so why would they evolve to be drawn to a walking kind of rhythm?

I call mine 'The Baron' because it's swollen, constantly leaking, and covered in boils.

can't wait for them to follow in the footsteps of the Star Wars EU and write a separate novel about each one of the pugs shown being led by Leto I in the Lynch movie during the move to Arrakis

I would absolutely read these but they'd have to be written by a competent author. Maybe an anthology book, where each author goes into the details of the lives of each pug.

If it were a KJA thing then each pug will have been, at some point, custodian of the secret plans for the Death Star.

and they can travel from 60 north to 40 south with twenty thumpers, or "at least ten days and nights"

on earth thats like going from st petersburg to cape town. in ten days. so either arrakis is small or, these worms, jesus christ

e: wait, that would be just like 50km an hour? 100 degrees out of 360, times 40 thousand km, divided by 240 hours, right? i guess that's believable for an impossible super-animal

It just says 20 thumpers to the palmaries of the south. I assumed the palmaries were just a ways south and not in the actual southern hemisphere. If you're at the north pole than everything is south of you!

UH i THINK you will find that in book 3 of the House Lord Terminatrex: Cyber Wars series it is established that one of Arrakis's moons has a ring because it is an ancient satellite built by hyper intelligent sandworms created when Leto II died and triggered his time folding device to fold sand trouts carrying his own conciousness back in time to build the M.A.U.D.I.B. super crysknife needed to slay the Dark God Emperor, which was given to Paauul after the Mecha-Baron Hyper Ghola decided to protect the hyper cube containing the soul of Doctor Yeuh from the reborn Desert Stealth Strike Rabban.

I can't even tell if this is real or fake and that makes me both angry and happy enough that I'm not looking it up to find out.

there's so much to see in it and yet it reveals so little. very good trailer

This shot took place while someone was speaking the word 'fear' and all I could think of was TS Elliot's 'The Wasteland'. "I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

This is actually how I first started DUNE. My grandmother used to scoop up science fiction and fantasy novels for me at rummage sales, and I read through God-Emperor with no knowledge of what had happened before. I thought it was hella weird.
