I don’t think we need another season of Desmond Hart(?), but I don’t think they have enough runway to resolve his storyline. So they’ll HotD this thing into another season.

Shapeshifting is the sci in sci-fi? Sounds more like fantasy genre to me.

Also, shapeshifting is a lazy device in any kind of story. And I hate the word.

Don't make me come off the porch and really scold everyone!

Dune Messiah is going to piss you off something fierce then.

That would be a shame. The first two seasons have been excellent.

Anything well-done is good with me. If that is the case with the shapeshifting or if that is not a critical element of the narration, I'll be fine.

It’s a human evolution thing, it’s not fantasy or magic. Think of the face dancers as human chameleons. They’re almost certainly using forbidden technology to speed things up, but the empire and Great Houses look the other way. They’re definitely afraid of the face dancers, but they’re a powerful guild and they need them. 
 

An important reminder about Dune, much as in our world, there is no magic. It’s humans spending endless hours training themselves to do extraordinary things while high as shit on spice. 

The season finale was suspiciously good. Like they brought in another showrunner for the finale.

The show has a lot of promise.

Finale was good 

The finale left my house feeling kind of meh. I get that it was a cliffhanger, but I feel like it's the kind of cliffhanger that's going to appeal to fans but run others off. I'm getting a Westworld vibe.

Show wasn’t good, but the cliffhanger mystery was interesting 

Felt like the whole mind virus being based on fear is the origin for "fear is the mindkiller" 

Spoiler

I guess the virus thing works, but some kind of microwave transmission would be more plausible and more Duney/analog like the Harkonnen’s hiding a dude in the wall to kill Paul. I’d bet Tleilaxu are behind the virus. They’re probably only society advanced enough to pull it off. The Richese wouldn’t whack their heir and almost kill their current Duke. 
 

Are there enough Atriedes left to pull it off? Probably not.

Oooo that was a good one. 
 

would def watch that again 

them tie backs 🔥 

Fear is the mind killer 

Wanted to add….She’s far from a pretty face, but she got some acting chops.

I can't tell who you're referring to, but I suspect it's this character/actress.

I found her acting (and to a lesser extent, her character) to be the low point of the show. 

I only watched it after Mrs. Doom had already fallen asleep while watching something else, but I found myself watching it im about 30ish minute increments just to stay sharp and avoid dozing off.

Finished it last night and really enjoyed it overall though, and am looking forward to S2.

Almost done with this show.  Two more eps left. Kinda okay.  But 6 eps means I'll finish it.

 

Quick question for the Dune nerds- when did the guild navigator become a thing?

 

I haven't read any of the books in ages but I thought they began to use navigator soaked in spice bc they couldn't rely on computers for space travel any more... do they exist in this show?

My first thought when the Sister put the little black girl into the spice tub was she was gonna morph into a navigator..

bump. I’m curious too. I can’t it make God Emperor. 

Just finished.  Agree good finale, however I went into this hoping for a self contained Dune story based on the shitty prequels.

Didn't expect to have such a cliffhanger

 

Def saw them leading to the Litany when they said early on the virus feeds on fear. 

Def seems like a rogue leftover AI or Tleilaxu are the big bad behind Desmond.

 

And why the hell would Valya leave all those bones down there lol.  

I'll keep watching.
