One reason why Villeneuve should’ve made both together & released them separately.

I’m a big fan of Dune. Dune your mom, that is.
Don’t think it’ll be that long. Some pre-production has started and Brolin said in an interview today that they would probably be ready to shoot this coming summer.
Dune 3: Season of the Bene Gesserit Witch
Dune: Part Two is such a boring title. They should call it Dune It Again.
For me, Heretics and Chapterhouse are his crowning achievements. I read the 6 books original series 3 times, but those 2 final books i always keep close, diving in at random from time to time. It makes book 1 and 2 pale a lot in comparison and it shaped my worldview profoundly. As for what his son wrote with Anderson,…
I rather liked Heretics and Chapterhouse because they really shook up the narrative and introduced us to a completely different set of characters, (Except for one rather hapless ghola.)
Or as I like to refer to them, “Herbert the Lesser” and “Earth’s Worst Living Science Fiction Writer.”
No, nothing in this episode is in the novel. In fact, I would characterize this episode as antithetical to the novel.
You mean, like...Batman Begins? And The Dark Knight? And Blade? And Blade II?
The parts where Gaal “sciences the shit” out of her location were fun and very Asimov. However, we’re supposed to believe she is this mega ultra math genius with zero official math education?
In an episode that included surviving in goo for 35 years and eyeball bombs, the least believable thing was that those wood and paper scrolls were impressively waterproof.
The ship didn’t change course, it maintained the same heading but flipped 180 degrees in order to fire the main engines to slow it down.
Gotta give it up for Terrance Mann (as Brother Dusk) absolutely *nailing* the haughtiness of Lee Pace’s ep 1/2 Brother Day persona.
the Galactic Dynasty stuff, while not from the books, is a *brilliant* bit of sci-fi and simultaneously a very clever way to solve the problem with so many jumps in time. it gives the viewers something to hang on to while other things skip around. i love it, and especially episode three, with the ritual of the death…
The clones emperors are an invention of the show so the books wouldn’t give any indication of how anything plays out.
Lee Pace shouting the fat maths guy TO DEATH was the best part and should be the whole show.
The problem with Foundation (the books) is that they are the Lord of the Rings of Space Opera. Except Asimov is nowhere near the prose stylist that Tolkien is.
Loving this show and glad that it got another season, as many media critics have been somewhat harsh against it. Yes, it does not follow the books, but if it did, nobody would watch it, for several reasons: First, Asimov’s greatest talent was ideas, and from a time when sci-fi was mostly about presenting mind…
An Italian and a German being the best on a quintessentially British show makes my brexit-hating heart sing.
