In the Dune book, Paul says to Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam at one point "Try looking into that place where you dare not look! You'll find me there, staring out at you!”. I'm getting those vibes from the vision and wondering if they're peering into the place Bene Gesserit dare not look. Also, it looks like the lethality of Desmond's "power" increases the more fear someone has. It's possible this is how the Bene Gesserit created the Litany Against Fear. Many interesting reveals and more questions given in this episode.

[@ItsYOUNGSENSEI]

The origin of the Litany angle is pretty cool i dig it.

[@blitzgirl6522]

Very true, I made this same comment to my friend last night while we watched this, that nobody yet has said the infamous mantra "Fear is the mind-killer", and this planted the seeds for it. It's also worth noting that they are known as the "Sisterhood" at this point, not yet the "Bene Gesserit".

[@jamesfoster9613]

I think that was more of a metaphor, considering they're talking about other memory not prescience? It's a hard say. I still think its the God Emperor though I think they're playing with both that idea and Omnius at the same time.

[@scotthewitt258]

Face-Dancers have entered the chat.

[@blitzgirl6522]

Watched the episode last night with a friend and I was pointing and shouting: "FACE-DANCER!"

[@tgiacin435]

I was in shock cause I wasn’t expecting to see a face dance this early. But I do like how Theodosia seems to be an early version since the transformations seem to be very painful

[@smittyjjensin558]

Desmond's speech and that mass execution scene has been my favorite part of the show. I really hope Desmond continues to standout in this series.

[@shockzz1234]

I'll be honest, Desmond is the only really interesting part of the show to me so far lol.

[@smittyjjensin558]

​@@shockzz1234i do think the politics are fascinating, but I keep watching for Desmond. Travis Fimmel needs more roles.

[@shockzz1234]

@@smittyjjensin558 This is the first thing i've seen him in (still need to watch Vikings lol) but i agree. Also every time i see him, i'm reminded of Charlie Hunnam, specifically his Sons of Anarchy Jax look lol.

[@Quzga]

Him and Mark strongs scenes are my fav, I kinda feel like the politics is more interesting than the sisterhood ​@@shockzz1234

[@cyberjack1406]

​@@shockzz1234Well the series main plot seem to be the "reckoning" and he is implied to be indirectly connected to it so if he wasn't interesting then almost nothing would be.

[@aljosapetkovic69]

Wow we got Ixians and Tleilaxu in one episode! Best episode of the show so far. Fun fact George Martin is a huge Dune fan obviously and based the faceless men on those concepts.. without giving away too much 😊

[@chaost4544]

The Tleilaxu being revealed opens up a lot of possibilities.

[@danzthename]

I wanna see a chairdog.

[@Acatarro]

Well done to the production team for not being afraid to introduce the most bizarre themes of the Dune universe, which we haven't seen at all in Villeneuve's films. I don't know to what extent the normative public will welcome these samples of purer science fiction like Face-dancers or the Ixians. The books created by Frank Herbert's son certainly have their strong points, but also their negative points. I think that adapting with a certain freedom is a good thing for the television product.

[@Diogolindir]

I have a similar opinion to yours. Dune is strange but I love it for it and Im surprised that this series is going for that, despite the hate the series receive, I think they do like and respect Dune for what it is and I know adapting anything Dune for the general public is hard.

[@pascalblanche]

they are called face dancers, and they are supposed to be part of another organisation.. the Bene Tleilax, also the tech behind the pyrotechnic might be Ixian, the other organisation pulling strings from the shadows.. We are still missing a glimpse of the Guild Navigators.. cant wait.

[@Fischstix95]

idk about dune beyond the new films and this show, but as I understand it there are some pretty surreal elements in the book, such as those guild navigators. aren't they like big fat aliens or something??

[@Acatarro]

@@Fischstix95 Mutant humans, but yes, the more you advance in the Dune books, more bizarre thing appear. Most of it in the books made by the son of Frank Herbert, or if we say correctly, the books he pay to be made. Some books are more interesting than others.

[@pascalblanche]

@@Fischstix95 they are humans still, but mutated.

[@archmaester6594]

Aaron: "Maybe there's someone inside the worm controlling everything." Everyone: LISAN AL-GAIB!

[@ecksearoh6283]

I think Desmond is a cymek, those eyes might belong to a robot because those sounds are machinelike.

[@edwinsuijkerbuijk5106]

I could make a guess but it might contain some spoilers from the later books.

[@Kawasaki10rr]

Theo, the girl that transformed at the end is a Tleilaxu face dancer

[@Alejojojo6]

And they mentioned the mentats. Only the Navigators are mixing (yet we see them at the back of the Lansraad)

[@blitzgirl6522]

The good ol Tleilaxu! I really hope we see the Face-Dancer in the next movie.

[@Kawasaki10rr]

@blitzgirl6522 kinda have to, the face dancer is a big part of the story

[@INTKOG]

“Do you think he chose to look this way??” That got me 😹😹😹

[@kidangel101]

Valya's and Tula's father was the Mayor of the town on Lankiveil. They announced his name during the funeral. He stood next to the mother.

[@fjnemo]

Theo said she doesn’t like changing faces, so obviously that means her face is her face. And by the screams it seems painful for her

[@almogdov]

Desmond is chewing the scenary and it's glorious

[@ConnerKent08]

the God Emperor sees all

[@wildbill9490]

So does Omnius

[@SerDunk]

Leto the worm hybrid 🫡

[@trevpilled]

@@wildbill9490 Oh no i hope not

[@Metamorcine]

Amazing episode! Love it

[@scotthewitt258]

Theodosia {I think} is a Tleilaxu.

[@sammalla5238]

I think the main hook of this adaption is going to be "how one perceives a prophecy" Valya seems to think it's Desmond and will bring about sisterhood's demise but Tula thinks it's Lila, twice born in spice....their "savior". It's all about interpretation

[@archmaester6594]

Could still be Leto II

[@jamesfoster9613]

but it is most likely Leto II

[@Sauron_Lord-Dark]

Travis Fimmel is amazing as Desmond Hart

[@giada951]

Desmond killed the boy because his goal was/is to stop the Sisterhood. He told the kid "to win a war require sacrifices and yours won't be in vein". So in this episode when he said he killed the boy because of his machine toy he lied. It's interesting because it's the first time we see him lying, given that he claims to always tell the truth.

[@neroli_0.0_]

Do they have nano machines in this universe? Because if that's a possibility then Desmond could have left the blood so that when she tried to analyse it it would contaminate whatever machine she used to do the analysis?

[@neroli_0.0_]

It really looks like Desmond left the blood on purpose AND that it might not be his own blood or it's contaminated/altered with something, given that he reached inside his jacket before leaving that blood in front of Valia...

[@DavidDevarney]

Theo is a Face Dancer

[@webx135]

I just love how we have plans within plans and like 10 plans all coming together for one event...then Desmond pops in and hijacks every single one of them. In one swoop, everyone's plans fall apart.

[@MagaldiMateus]

"Try looking into that place where you dare not look.You'll find me there, staring back at you!" - Paul Atreides to The Mother Superior of the Bene Gesserit.

[@fjnemo]

Seems like the emperor’s daughter was taken so that the emperor would be indebted to the sisterhood if they are the ones that saved her. Wouldn’t be surprised if they planned it

[@EdWiley671]

If true, that would be an amazing twist

[@JezzaBondiBeach]

Great episode !!!!

[@B3J2AL]

A minor point-Baron Harkonnen,Valya's nephew, is he Griffin's son? I'm not sure where he came from.

[@CaesiusX]

Now what the conversation between the Mother Superior and the student she took with her makes sense. Thw student said she did not want to do that ever again. . . I suppose that means shape-shifting.

[@OZTHE13]

the eyes is paul atreides

[@jonaswessberg3960]

Desmond seems a bit inspired by Rasputin.

[@anu7705]

Not a spoiler per say-Theodosia is a face dancer a sort of shapeshifter in the dune universe.I think theodosia is herself as she implies she doesn't like doing it.What some1 can explain to me is-why did valya have her appear as griffin?whats the point?its not real.Also the big blue eyes watching i think is some huge AI overlord-A Titan.

[@chaost4544]

Valya didn't make Theodosia appear as Griffin but just wanted to use her skills. I feel Theodosia turned into Griffin because she noticed his portrait at the home and realized it was an important person to Valya. In the moment she understood Valya's motivations and it was like Theodosia accepted the role she was hesitant about playing. I agree the vision we keep seeing is AI. I thought it could be someone else far in the future but the blue and the noises make me think it's an AI that can use prescience. Then again, that could just be a red herring.

[@anueaso4047]

Yea that makes sense.😊

[@rini6]

I think her natural form is that translucent thing.

[@anueaso4047]

@@rini6 Yea that’s a possibility.

[@Alvie713]

That was a dune prophecy 😂

[@zaediggs1899]

Say yall have never read the books without saying yall have never read the books

[@worldinperson]

Does Theo only "play" different people or does she really become them for a short time? Imagine if she turns into Dorothea and spills some secrets 😬

[@Sauron_Lord-Dark]

Why didn't Desmond Hart kill Atredis who is also a traitor or Desmond doesn't know about him

[@nighthunter3824]

Hey guys, I have a theory about what the Sisterhood is hiding in their basement. I believe they have thinking machines.

[@arthropodstopic]

why did desmond also take out the councilman

[@Diogolindir]

Wasn't he the one with forbidden tech at the bar? I must watch it again

[@KME4698]

You guys really ought to watch Severance, with season 2 coming out this January, it's right up your alley.

[@punkrockpollyanna7829]

they are. first episode is already on their website.

[@rini6]

Oh that idea about Theo taking the form of princess Ines makes so much sense. Theo definitely had a job to do with her powers. That could have been it.

[@Kennia1998]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@Hobodeluxe007]

whoa Eric the idea that the voice is the computer system the BG are using is interesting.

[@ck_idgaf1680]

well, the voice being a computer system is interesting, but if so, the Mentats, who have trained themselves as human computers, would find a way to make it useless or counteract it.

[@Schrodingers-Caterpillar]

This show is on the borderline of “I wanna see what happens next” and “This show is too complex for it’s own good and watching it seems like work”

[@iantaylor6528]

Thea is a Tleiaxu face dancer

[@Callimachus33]

My current theory is that Desmond is Vorian Atreides, Which is why he spared Keiran Atreides.

[@Diogolindir]

Well, that guy is certainly mentioned a lot in the series

[@laraaraeken]

alt shift x also made that prediction in a livestream haha. i think it would be a great plot twist

[@johnnypaycheck7727]

First lolz

[@vvreno]

From the very first episode I got major The Witcher vibes from this show, (as far as quality). The only difference is that this show takes itself way too seriously without managing to elevate itself to its source material. I don’t hate the show. It’s just, fine.

[@scotthewitt258]

Some people pronouncing "Richese" as two syllables and some pronouncing it as three syllables is working my nerves. BTW, I always read it as two syllables reading the book, I don't care if they make it three, BUT BE CONSISTENT!!!!!

[@vinsanity40k]

at least i got confirmation on how they want to pronounce landsraad. i wonder if they'll mention choam at all. and in classic dune, harkonnen had a long o and in new dune it's a short o.

[@chrisw.5138]

This show has gone down the drain for me, sorry
