He didn’t kill her because ending her doesn’t end the sisterhood’s influence, which is what he seems to want. Killing her only leaves a void for someone else to fill. The enemy we know is easier to take down then the one we don’t. So instead of killing her, he will probably continue trying to remove the sisterhood from power and then kill her if it comes to it. Better that than to martyr her.

[@Mcherri]

Or he will need them and than kill them he is probably going to manipulate them somehow my guess is this guy deasmond is a proto type Kwisatz Haderach which explains why the voice didn’t work on him since he did come in contact with a worm and most likely it’s poison. He also could be of Paul’s bloodline as well and he wants to bring about the god emperor but he needs the sisters to do it taking their power away from the sisters is a start of his plan. He also would have access to his male ancestors as well and see the future or at least different paths leading to the same conclusion.

Good point. I equated it to a hydra. No matter how many times the head is cutt off, more will take its place.

[@Stankonia3k]

Guys, Dorotea was Lila's grandmother (while Raquela was Lila's great great grandmother, so apparently we weren't introduced to Dorotea's mother). Dorotea even calls Lila "granddaughter" right after Lila mistook her for her own mother. Meaning, Lila's mother, the one whom supposedly died giving birth to her, was Dorotea's daughter. Also, earlier in the episode when Valya told Tula she would have to get Lila to go through the Agony, the death of Dorotea was the secret Tula was referring to, so she WAS worried and apprehensive about Lila encountering Dorotea and discovering that truth.

The Landsraad is a coalition of all the Great Noble Houses (House Atreides, House Harkonnen, and all the other great houses). It's an organization used to protect the other houses from the power of the Imperial Royal House-House Corrino (Mark Strong's family). If the emperor were to do something underhanded or illegal, like assassinate his newly married son-in-law from another house, and word got out to the Landsraad, they would go to war with the royal family. The major organizations in the Dune universe are the Landsraad, the Imperial Royal House, the Bene Gesserit, and the Spacing Guild-the organization that controls all space travel.

[@TimSmith-ms4tl]

You forgot CHOAM. The tripod government (the landsraad, choam and the guild) are there to prevent any one of them gaining a monopoly on power. Landsraad members are all choam directors. Choam controls all spice mining and revenue. The guild controls all travel. None can function without the other.

[@TimSmith-ms4tl]

The benejesserit, the suk school (doctors), the mentats and the benetleilax are all below them (or so the landsraad think)

[@nathanielhoward1498]

I’m glad that Achara explained to Jaby that Tula took the risk of the girl finding out about the murder of Rakela’s granddaughter. Tula understood the risk and took it, deciding that the revenge of the murdered woman was worth the knowledge that they would acquire from Rakela.

[@EMPERORSPROTECTION-TERRA4LIFE]

I feel like the sister being dead is why the emperor starts listening to his wife. When she is around he dismisses his wife and dosnt remember things the same as her. But when she goes he starts listening to his wife more and more. Probably like the old way she mentioned in the last episode.

[@Diogolindir]

22:44 they have to shield the practice pole so they can practice their technniques against shields. Remember that they use fast strikes to create spaces for the slow strikes to land penetrate the shields.

[@r2d2rxr]

I think if he were to kill her, he would appear as a recluse, and the Emperor wouldn’t trust him. Up until this point all of his killings have been in service to the Emperor and his interests, but if he were to kill the head of the Sisterhood just because he can, then he loses all of that trust he’s built in an instant. I believe undermining her authority will serve whatever his cause is best in the long run. Also, she is unable to kill him using the voice, so he’s safe from her for the moment, but not from any assassins she may send his way. This is getting good.

[@paragonpiper4081]

Desmond told us who he likely is. He said the worm took his eye and he can now see where she cannot. That’s the trait of a kwisak hadirak. The male who can survive the water of life has the memories of all the males and females in his line. This is what Paul had. In the Dune film by David Lynch, Paul talks about this. I’m betting Desmond is somehow a predecessor of what Paul becomes. And as an enemy of the sisterhood, they decide to create one of their own. One they can control. In Dune part one, the Reverend Mother actually says as much. She says Paul is a danger because he was unplanned and thus might not be able to be controlled. Dang. This show is blowing my mind.

[@PresidentProductions]

The Kwisak Hadirak cannot burn someone to a crisp with thought Desmond is some sort of thinking machine HUman Experiment or Early Form of a Ghola (Clone) or Ixian Technology

[@paragonpiper4081]

Perhaps. Perhaps not. That power might have been lost. I agree, he could be any of those things mentioned. At first I thought he was a Ghola. The thing that makes me wonder though is his knowledge of what happens for the male survivor, and him seeing her footsteps of blood (presumably her murder to gain power).

[@PresidentProductions]

@@paragonpiper4081 Thinking Machines Gholas and Face Dancers have the potential to be conditioned to be prescient but you are right it could really be any of these things its interesting to see what direction they are going to go with it.

[@paragonpiper4081]

@@PresidentProductionsyes. This play on the unknown and possibilities has been a lot of fun to watch. I like how they’ve woven in a lot of deeper lore from the start. How the visions are ambiguous and the players are misinterpreting things because the nature of visions of the future are often not understood until they’ve already happened. Desmond represents this by his very nature. He could be any of these things or variants of them. Or even a combination of some, especially since this is happening at the very beginning of this journey to Leto II, and the Golden Path.

[@Highlander0689]

​@@PresidentProductionsThe Sorceresses of Rossak could burn people to a crisp with their telekinetic powers. They were the original Sisterhood and their powers were a result of mutation from the planet Rossak. In the books, they mostly died off during the Butlerian Jihad. The few remaining followed Raquella after she "defeated" the Supreme Sorceress Ticia Cenva.

[@richardhall800]

As Rasputin seems to be the model here, then we should remember that did not work out so well for the Romanovs in the long run... And that Salusa Secundus is not the future seat of the emperor, but the prison planet and training ground for the Sardaukar

[@axebeard6085]

11:26 At this point in time, the Sisterhood is transitioning from the "Sisters of Rossak" to the "Bene Gesserit Sisterhood". The Rossak poison is a mutated strain of a disease that the machines had created as a weapon against humanity. Mother Superior Raquella was infected with the mutated strain, and was able to transform it, unlocking her ancestral "Other Memories" and making her the first Reverend Mother. Eventually, the Bene Gesserit will switch to Spice, as it is more effective.

[@evagreenwell3610]

This episode has the best visualization for the Other Memory I have yet seen. Super cool. And absolutely book accurate too. One of the dead spirits seizing control of the host body because they aren't strong enough to resist is what happens to Paul's sister Alia. But in her case it was because she awoke to the knowledge of a Reverend Mother in the womb, before her own personality was properly formed.

[@king_supreme1102]

I think what’s going on with Desmond is very simple. I think he is simply the negative example of what happens when the wrong male learns “the way”. We know the BG forbid it. I think Desmond will be the example as to why. A Rogue male bene gesserit. One not disciplined enough to be trusted with such abilities. The anti Kwisatz Haderach if you will.

To answer your question, it's not a good idea to kill the reverend mother. Since she's the head of the bene geserit organization. They would notice her missing and the rest of the sisterhood would advice the Lanraad (the other royal families) to go to war with house Corrino.

[@IndrajithPalanisamy]

He shouldn't kill her....as they already explained in Dune part 2 that "if a person of faith killed,then it would get bigger and faith grows stronger" as said by Florence pugh....have to consider the whole Dune world's words and tactics and their charaters to understand at the deeper level

[@nathanielhoward1498]

Achara NoLooseEnds Kirk. I love it!

[@chrisw.5138]

I think Desmond is a Ghola or a Face dancer with some weaponised nano tech from Ix or one of the worlds who want to further tech dev after the ban. The face dancers have that weird whisper language which can also be heard in the premonitions. Plus, they are known later on to be able to block the prescience and skills of the sisterhood. But the blue pointy eyes remind me of the Thinking machines, those strange mechanical voice sounds are in the visions too. They should not appear at this moment of time though, but they are constantly brought up. Maybe Erasmus is pulling some strings in the background? I would be more than a bit upset if it in the end is portrayed as some sort of mystical spice stuff instead of those two factions. My bet for the tv show are the Bene Tleilax, who are religious fundamentalists and always wanted to eradicate the sisterhood. The spacing guild or the mentats, or any other factions at this point in time never really cared that much about the sisterhood. If Denis Villeneuve really was involved in the development at the beginning of this show, it might very well be the Bene Tleilax, since we will have them as a relevant faction in Dune: Messiah, so we can get an introduction before the movie and the explanation why we will see one of our favourites back from the dead. Or he wanted to make sure that they are not brought up, for better effect in yhe movie, and instead we get a remnant story of the thinking machines. Who knows? I guess we have to watch the show to find out... Btw, i think the princess abduction thing sounds to sus af, i wouldn't put it past Valia come up with that scheme to get her claws into her...

Mother Dorotea, was Lila’s grandmother. Reverend Mother Raquella was Lila’s great grandmother. They were trying to get her in contact with her great grandmother to learn more about the upcoming tyrannical disaster. The fear was that she would make contact with her grand mother and the secret about her death would come out. Mother Superior Valya Harkonnen said to risk it anyway. Also they didn’t really care if she died or not. The sisterhood is what matters not the individual girls.

[@lokithecat7225]

Breaking the Mother (or at least shattering her confidence) and leaving her in charge, where she will make mistakes... Is much better than Galvanizing the Sisterhood, and having them appoint someone specifically to destroy you.

[@colemarc187]

I don't believe Lila is dead, her sense of 'self' is young and inexperienced but she does exhibit a strength that may save her from being fully possessed or outright killed. I do agree with Jaby, that Desmond and his abilities may be the product of spice and sophisticated AI tech wi-fi implanted in his brain, like a microwave on steroids cooking his victims from the inside out and as long as they're within a certain range.

[@esoteric_1]

The showrunner said Lila is in a coma. My view is Tula concocted a diluted version of the spice agony

[@chasx7062]

Paul Atreides never died either, his metabolism slowed the minimum. Havent seen the episode either, so not sure if the witches thoroughly examined her. BUT, the Antichrist had arrived and the space karen's were desperate, and they assumed the first mother superior would be the strongest personality in death as in life?!

[@Justitia_Nomen]

Why would they keep the Agony a secret from the rest of the acolytes? The entire Sisterhood at risk, and they all must train to experience the agony. Why shouldn’t they bear witness with their own eyes? Also, Tula knew it was unsafe. She was obviously very reluctant. Valya is one of those people that would tell her so what? Yes I killed Doratea because she put the sisterhood at risk and defied the wishes of her own grandmother, Raquella.

[@vinnycordeiro]

Tula never lied to Lila. Lila is the great-great-grand daughter of Raquella, and grand daughter of Dorothea, the Sister that Valya used the Voice against in the first episode. It is confusing, I know, but no lies were said. Also: ACHARA NEVER WATCHED BATTLESTAR GALACTICA???? We already know the next series for CinePals, it's one of the greatest sci-fi shows of all time, I dare say the greatest of all!

[@Barnettsojourn]

I think Desmond might be one of the “Prophets” who can now see and prepare the way of the coming “Messiah”, Paul Atreides. Potentially the prophecy is speaking of the one who will eventually come and destroy or supplant the sisterhood, which is actually Paul. So, the distant Blue Eyes could be those of Paul looking who can fold space and see all things (past, present, or future) along the space time continuum as one. So, the prophecy is about and fulfilled in him, which will grow ever clearer as in comes to fruition. For now, it is there but still not completely clear. Anyway, that is just a thought. Good reaction. Always enjoy your breakdowns.

[@Aeolusdallas]

[@PresidentProductions]

Cinepals Emily they shield the training Post because with certain skill and technique the blades they use can slice through shields remember the enemy will be shielded so the technique to cut through shields would have to be a form of training.

[@kennethalfonso3241]

Consider if Desmond killed the Reverend Mother, she could become a martyr and the other houses that still have council with the sisterhood could turn on the emperor.

[@ericobame5191]

Consider that the ritual Lila took is one that other sisters took, and it wasn't hidden for them either. It was always a process shared with the other sisters, watched by the other women. It was always a teaching moment. And as a teaching moment, it's probably why they didn't prepare for Lila dying, even though they knew it was a possibility she would.

[@JezzaBondiBeach]

GREAT SECOND EPISODE!!!!

[@B3J2AL]

Was Doretea lilas mother? If so, Tula took a big risk. Especially, Tula telling Lila that her mother died during child birth when she was killed by Valya Harkonnen.

[@elviar.910]

Dorotea was Lila's grandmother and I agree, it was a big risk.

[@B3J2AL]

Lila's mother may still be alive that's why the mother didn't show up when Lila's was speaking with her ancestors. Tula Harkonnen lied when she told Lila that her mother died during childbirth. She told that lie to sway Lila to undergo the Agony.

[@williamozier918]

"Born twice, once of blood, once of spice." Could apply to Desmond Hart...or to Paul. Perhaps prophecies have truth to them, but you always interpret them as being about your time and needs.

You also can’t just kill the Mother Superior, that would unit the sisterhood. He wants to destroy them, which would require that the great houses and other leaders stop believing in them. Have to kill the idea

[@pacio49]

I viewed it more that he's a tool sent to serve the Emperor for whatever reason and by whomever. His vendetta is against the Sisters, but he isn't given full agency by the Empress. He serves his primary function first and foremost - as a tool to serve the Emperor. And the Emperor didn't have the insight to try and move openly against the whole Sisterhood. So Wurmkind McFry Lothbrok acted as much as he could, and kicked the Sisterhood out of the Imperial Court. It's a symbolic move, and as their influence wanes among the great houses of the Landsraadt (Dune House of Lords). Wormy McFry has to wait for his personal Agenda and the Imperial Agenda to coincide again to move against the Mother Superior. And, if he kills her now, he'll just have to wait for her successors to figure out what the heck is going on, and what the past history was, before they come back into play. And if they shatter into warring factions before McFry is set to detroy the sisterhood en masse, then instead of dealing with one shadow political sisterhood, he has to deal with many. Same reason you don't blow up a large asteroid heading to earth, you can't predict the fallout and you multiply your enemies and fronts.

He didn't kill her in there because if the mother Superior of the powerful huge order that have been installed in every noble family home for a thousand years turns up dead in the castle there will be hell to pay. It's not that he doesn't see her as a threat,he literally told her to her face you and your order are a threat to the kingdom. And he was not fighting against her he was playing her you must have missed when he was still holding the blade and the shaking stopped and he smiled.

I see him as an early version of the Kwisatz Haderach, given his gifts by Shai-Hulud. The sisterhood as they were in this time lost power, but the Bene Gesserit eventually took over. 10,148 years later Paul drinks the Water of Life and fulfills the prophecy. In Dune 2 we learn that the Lisan al Gaib/Kwisatz Haderach has to drink the water of life and be reborn with Desert Spring tears. Well we know Chani Kynes (the daughter of Dr. Kynes) is named Desert Spring.

No, don't you see he is Herald of the God Emperor. So he is manipulating the Sisterhood to create the Kwisatz Haderach. Right now they are not trying to create worlds Super Being. But they will and he is prompting them to do so.

[@toh786]

34:20 -- That's my mindset. I was wondering why he didn't kill her?

[@swervo6660]

I’m shocked that all these reactors seem to be on the side of the sisterhood while watching the show but I don’t remember anybody being on Paul’s mom side or the bene whatever you call it lady’s side while watching dune

[@Tanlawless]

hi anyone can tell me if this is connected go 2000s mini serie and children of dune or new dune films etc if not how doesit connect

[@lelouchlamperouge8560]

Trust no one. There are no sides, there is only the cause. Everyone are just pawn in all political goals. That realm is screwed.

R u guys aware that a new trailer for secret level dropped a week and a bit ago? Trailer is so damn good for me a bit emotional. Pls check it out if you can

[@mattjosh69]

I feel I see your discussion at the end of this episode on why would you keep a man with his power around and you would get rid of him straight way. Is literally playing in American politics right now.😂😂😂😂 And both sized of the political party’s are both saying the same thing about the opposition.🤷🏻‍♂️

Did you stop reaction on k-drama sweet home plz tell me if u will react on it or not we are waiting from 10 months plz react on it 😢😢

[@cristyd9120]

I think she was an ancestress to Lila through a son or her mother is still alive.

[@ljswaan]

No more Ryan George reactions videos?

[@GiannahTanae]

Can you guys react madeas witness protection

[@brandonreed09]

17:47 who needs proof? He admitted to doing it.

[@KarolKrasnopolski]

I dont think Lila should have access to Dorothea's death memory. Only to memories before Lila's birth. Its genetic memory. Also she doesnt look like 30 years old. I love the plot but this things bother me.

[@roya94]

Dorthea called her 'granddaughter', and told her that her mother wasn't there. The mother probably is still alive and her character will be introduced or her identity will be revealed in the next episodes.

[@strettoasino9006]

Does anyone realize that most of the characters in DUNE are the bad guy's...? People please read!!!!!

[@chasx7062]

this is also the case for GOT lol

[@strettoasino9006]

@chasx7062 So also LOTR, Every college dorm had a copy...

[@chrisw.5138]

Yeah, and if there are any good ones, they always end up dead sooner than later. Frank Herbert did a brutally realistic job portraying power and the human condition...

[@benjaminmedley]

I wait for the day y'all will watch FROM

[@emmanuelu]

Most likely won’t happen

[@whyareyousoreeediculous7707]
