@9:22 where the books are shown, it shows a review by Barrack Obama. 'Wildly imaginative'. I didn't know he was reviewing books. Wonder if this is true. At least it's a good recommendation!

Love the intro score.

When I re-read this book, I tend to skim/skip through many of the human chapters just cos the spiders' perspective is just so much more interesting

I cry every time I watch these episodes & cried again listening to your recap & commentary. Futurama has always been my top fav show ever. So happy they brought it back. Your voice is perfection, especially for sci fi. I don’t mean to offend other creators/narrators, but I often find a small flaw in their voice, cadence, speaking style, etc., that picks at me over time. However, your voice is again, perfection! There’s no other word to describe it. Thank you for making the best content ever. I am obsessed!

This adaptation is the worst of all the jokes Hollywood has made recently. The gender swap is so beyond ridiculous. But the most stupid thing is how the MATHEMATICIAN character is religious. *spoler* Have they forgotten the entire plot of the second half of the first book, where the foundation reintroduces religion as a means of controlling the surrounding planets?? Religion HAS to have disappeared from society for this (genius) plot point to make sense!!

The second Trisolaran fleet was defeated by the Macross and Minmei’s maddening music

inspiring to see all these fresh young commenters being introduced to digital physics, information theory, constructive mathematics, etc

the first 2 and a half minutes of this are a journey

Fun fact, he writes the short story Days of Ascension, a 40k short story.

Marco..!!!!

ALL books in under 8hrs? I'll play the editing card on that one 😈👍

Brother you should do audiobooks my god your voices are better then the dune audiobooks on audible

stay woke everybody

Speaking of the fear of death, Lovecraft himself wrote, "Why should I fear death? When I die, I will return to whatever state I was in before I was born."

I’m getting Outer Wilds vibes

When I hear "Ash", I keep picturing Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series jumping out of a spaceship and screaming about giant alien Deadites coming to Earth.

Please never stop making videos

Maybe the seventh book was the friends we made along the way

The alien ship at minute 17:06 be looking like a tasty ass empanada

You rule bro, you brought dune lore and the books to my attention and I can never forgive you, love this channel your the OG (besides frank herbert based god Leto alpha)

Credit where credit is due: D&D are very good at adapting a source material to screen. What went wrong with the later seasons of GoT is that they ran out of books and had to start making things up themselves. Because they are not competent writers, they tried to shove as many subversions into the show as possible without a properly understanding why the ones from the book worked or how to set them up. Since this is an adaptation of a complete series I’m not worried about the adaptation because I know this is what D&D are good at.

mmmmmmmmmm warp-fuckery

This is a completely unrelated comment, but have you read Sun Eater? Seems right up your alley.

NO Cheese Dorn!

The KZbin algorithm is a dark forest. I don’t want it to notice you!

The time jump and Chani is the easiest thing to resolve, instead of Irulan giving her secret contraceptive, she and Paul can be broken up and meet again in the beginning of Messiah. Of course that would make even more sad bc they would get together in the end just for her to die immediately after having their children.

Tiny verse.

It's disappointing the filmmaker chooses style over substance here, effectively skipping across dramatic elements in favor of short attention spans that permeate today's audience, as well as altering the stories ethos on its subject matter to match a current events standard when Frank Herbert's original conception was timeless in its very nature.

Finished this up a few weeks ago . The tothiat mesmon was an absolute monster

In Hinduism shivavis the greatest god

I'm so glad this video was recommended to me. I'm one of the ppl who watched the Netflix show first, got curious, and bought the trilogy set a few days after finishing season one. I didn't know there was going to be discrepancies between how the characters were conveyed in the series and the books. I'm still on the first few chapters of book 1. I enjoyed the show, and so far, based on the reviews I've read for the books, I know I'll enjoy that too. What I learned from GoT and the ASOIAF series was - we have the same stance on it - what works in the novel may not work in film/series adaptations, readers/watchers should be able to understand that page-to-page adaptations are totally ok if the main message/topic are still preserved and conveyed efficiently. Fingers crossed that the series adaptation will be D&D's redemption arc.

Just listened to the complete books - what an odyssey. I loved it! I found it via your channel. Can someone recommend another dark lovecraftian scifi book?

I once tried salvia in my youth and in that experience I saw in the distance the world slowly being folded as if everything was being reduced from its normal 3D state into a flat 2D surface. It kept coming closer and closer, and ultimately I felt myself being folded as if the reality I was in was being reduced into this plain surface. It felt like some weird gravitational pull that was inescapable. That is kinda how I imagined succumbing to such an attack would feel like when reading this for the first time. Needless to say it was an experience I'll never forget lol.

😭This makes me wanna cry

Saddened to see AI art on your channel Y_Y

Read nearly all his books. Loved the Children of Time and The Final Architecture series. Cage of Souls wasn’t what I expected but I did enjoy it.

Yo Quinn, thats the exact same way I feel about death. I don't know if you've seen Wayward Pines the TV series, Djimon Hounsou's character in season 2, really spoke to me, cuz he would wake up every couple hundred years to see if its safe to wake everybody else up from cryo sleep. So he saw the evolution/deterioration of human civilization. I've never stopped thinking about such a solution, at least for a couple thousand years.

He was able to record his thoughts up to the point of his death because the Ixian recording device directly transcribed his thoughts onto the redulian crystal sheets back in his citadel. Coolest piece of tech in the whole series

Was about watch Dark matter, then I saw that quinn had uploaded a video 4 days ago! best believe I watched this first. Great video as usual. now lemme go and watch Dark Matter.

They did a good job, given time constraints and needs for public consumption

For the algorithm. Love your work Quin

Thank you for the recommend, will def this series out.

🔥

Chinese room is mot a fallacy. Is just an analogy for digital computers

I still look at spiders differently.

I want to see the Tleilaxu!!!

Honestly when I first heard about the 2d weapon I thought it would create a false vacuum decay. I feel like that would be easier to do and use as a weapon

*master chief has entered the chat*

i dunno what specifically the main story of dune is, but i'm ninety percent sure it's not a white savior story. i'm pretty sure that, despite his flaws, frank herbert was probably not even thinking about the white man being the best guy ever. i feel like he was probably trying to make a point about something deeper.

from everything i've learned about dune, what i've taken from it is this: god-emperor leto atreides the second is a *much more effective emperor* than 40k's emperor of mankind... ...although i guess that might be kind of the point of 40k...
