Here's my FULL Dune Prophecy Episode 1 video and Easter Eggs for all the movies. Post your reactions in the comments! Here's my Game Of Thrones Movie video too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqipgIxojLidhq8

[@OctavianKaijage]

Dune is better than Star Wars

[@olivergarrick1175]

My theory is Desmond hart's was fremen and the contacts are the disgusing his eyes of ibad.

[@jrushing1972]

Didn’t the emperor seem to recognize the name Desmond Hart as a casualty on dune? Maybe he was a Sardukar commander

[@Tempo_Gigante]

No Silo, seriously??!

[@rank2police591]

I feel like the eyes staring back and the reckoning are more in reference to Leto than Paul. Leto is known as “The Tyrant”, for a reason.

[@MARVELKENNY]

Charlie, do episode per episode breakdowns please. There is just too much DUNE lore that needs to be summized on a weekly basis… let’s all enjoy some good tv and not just ‘popular’ shows.

[@patrickfrazier5740]

Agreed! I hope he does more of these breakdowns.

[@tinaf7395]

Yes please 😊

[@The_Reality_Filter]

THIS IS NOT DUNE SO THERE IS NO DUNE LORE HERE.

[@dansteele8630]

Can’t agree more! This show seems true to material so far!

[@brisimy]

Yeah

[@MotorMan213]

Please keep doing episode by episode! You help people like me not get lost with the lore and meanings behind episdoes. Thanks for all you do!

Seriously, he did videos for the Acolyte. This is so much better!

The death of that poor kid felt on parr with Vik's death in Penguin.😖

[@maggyfrog]

just from episode 1 alone, travis fimmel is my fav character so far. interesting that house atreides is gonna be a minor faction in the show

[@emergencyawesome]

We'll see what's going on with his character. I think unless he's secretly someone else, he'll be a new character not previously from the lore.

[@sNNNNNable]

[@RileySteel-x]

Desmond may either be a ghoula (clone) or a thinking machine in disguise. In the school triology there were a few thinking machine rogue agents, two of which looked very human, think terminator type agents. As a hard core fan I can say the show is amazing so far! Loved the breakdown! The Bene Gesserit have always been my fav and this show is really delivering so far!

[@alessandrocejwokkkk]

My money is in him being a face dancer

[@Muggle1983]

I thinks its centuries too early for face dancers so I agree it is probably a ghola.

[@abdolenecourt]

Definitely a ghola

[@DGRLA]

What's a ghola

[@abdolenecourt]

@@DGRLA a clone constructed from a dead person. When someone dies, the tleilaxu use what ever remains from that person to make a clone. They programme the brain of this clone to do a specific task/mission.

[@bshr1nk3yk1d]

Something I wish they would have mentioned in the show was the Holtzman engine, it’s the thing everyone uses to fold space and get from planet to planet, no one in the entire universe actually knows how it works anymore and before the jihad machines would just be what people used to traverse but once they removed them we had to find a way to be our own computers, they create the mentats and then combine that power with spice to allow humans the ability to see into the future whenever they want to fold space and thus you have the guild navigators who bathe in a spice tank and it slowly changes them

[@jimmytimmy3680]

Wow. I wondered about whether they would explain how they travel in space.

[@tgiacin435]

@@jimmytimmy3680we see a highliner, so I’d hope we get to see the navigators, and junction

[@aulukut]

I read the books from start to finish once every couple of years, I am kind of addicted to them. There is so much wisdom buried in this work of literature. I think this will be a great show...Learning about the development of the Sisterhood is exciting. Please continue doing episode based reviews, I really like the work you do...

[@alaskayoung3413]

Can you give me an example or two of the wisdom you found in the books?

[@aulukut]

@@alaskayoung3413 for example... 'Self-awareness: facing mirrors that pass through the universe, gathering new images on the way-endlessly reflexive. The infinite seen as finite, the analogue of consciousness carrying the sensed bits of infinity.'

[@aulukut]

or another favorite of mine 'All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted. Power attracts the corruptible... Suspect all who seek it! We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it and then only under conditions that increase the reluctance.'

[@DW-bk5nb]

Someone is gonna get pushed over that waterfall at the palace I’m calling it now

[@tgiacin435]

I think someone did in the books. So if they’re jumping timelines, we might see more recreations of scenes from the great school trilogies. I hope we see junction, the training world of the navigators

[@kadarabdullahi]

It doesn't seem like a wise design at all 😂

[@jackn6236]

Please keep doing these for each episode! I love finishing up watching it and going straight to your recap!

[@ericstelle5892]

A large theme I seem to recall from Herbert is how religious fervor/fanaticism can both empower and trap people. Serena used the death of her baby to galvanize the slaves on earth and fueled a revolution but then ultimately was defined by that act. Paul constantly grappled with having to tread the golden path and finally opted out and let Leto II take on that burden. He was this messiah persona and used it to empower his vengeance for his slain father, friends, and destroyed house... and he was bound by that too. He couldn't just go chill in the desert with Chani... he had to play power games with Irulan. Further, those who elevated him and held him up in that position became a current carrying their fanaticism across the universe in the Jihad. Leto II did the same in that he walked the golden path to save humanity... the theme repeats over and over. In a similar way, the Bene Gesserit manipulated fanatics through the Missionaria Protectiva to empower their own ends and are doing the same thing in the prequels as well. The danger of prescience is is always that, once you know that vision, you see signs of it happening. There may be some commentary to have about pride/ego of being in a time of prophecy but that's more speculation on human nature. Anyhow, Valya has fallen into this trap and it will unfold as all who mistake portents usually do... in misery and despair. IYKYK that the tyrant is Leto II and he basically seized control away from an organization fundamentally dedicated to controlling things. That is the tyrant Raquella foresaw. The tyrant worm Leto II is what devours the Bene Gesserit.

[@Outlaw8908]

Not just them, humanity as a whole. Though if you ask me Bene Gesserit were culpable in that self fulfilling prophecy. That and the warning Leto II gives them in Heretics of Dune.

[@elitealice]

The early reviews where people was saying it’s not up to the quality of Denis’ films were so off the mark. Of course it looks and feels different, it’s a different story and time period. But this was incredible first episode. Cinematography was on point

[@jakobetheanimevtuber4102]

it looks movie like quality, i just hope the plot and characters develops well

[@stijn4771]

Ofcourse, people don't realize it's nearly impossible to have the same production quality of a blockbuster movie in a series. Even more with Denis Villeneuve's movies

[@Nanu.Nalata]

The poetry in this is that, the Bene Gesserit act in place of the Machines by thinking for and advising the Imperium and the Great Houses, controlling them AND the people and ultimately rule everyone, just like the Machines.

[@skipswalks]

My gut reaction from the footage of Hart being eaten by the worm was that the person we met is a face dancer from the Bene Tleilax.

[@whiskybrush3219]

Do they even exist yet though? I am rusty on backstory lore.

[@abdolenecourt]

Or a ghola

[@jaymr2795]

Yeah I also commented something similar yesterday, but according to other people the Bene Tleilax do not exist yet in this form, but they also added additional information so I recommend searching for my comment and read the replies under it if you're interested.

[@jaymr2795]

But HBO might change the timeline a bit in order to fit their story.

7:25 The Harkonnens were exiled to Lankiveil in the extended universe, and the chief export of that planet was whale fur. Most of the famous planets in the books had a singular, highly sot after commodity.

[@DJJeSta09]

Was just about to comment the same thing. Geidi Prime isn't part of their fief until later in the timeline.

[@otakuknt]

I know everyone would love to see you do a breakdown of each episode

[@emergencyawesome]

Thanks!

[@btetirick]

Just a thought: the eyes could actually be Leto II instead, since he is the one who walked the golden path that Paul couldn't. In fact it would be an interesting twist to reveal this is all Leto II bringing his gaze backwards to ensure his own creation.

[@WonkelDee]

That would be amazing. Or just the whole events of the show being Leto gazing far into the past during a meeting with one of his subjects lol

[@robertbarrett6850]

Sister Raquella Berto-Anirul is the granddaughter of Vorian Atreides. An Atreides started the sisterhood.

[@Khanviewss]

Good. She helped her house become the golden bloodline

[@Outlaw8908]

🤔 Never really liked the Brian/Kevin books. But that is an interesting nugget I actually forgot for a bit there.

[@jasakiii4474]

Amazing breakdown, please do more. It can be overwhelming going into this fresh but it’s fascinating all around! Appreciate the work put into this🙏🏻

[@emergencyawesome]

Thanks!

[@sesquipedalophobic]

If he’s against the Bene Gesserit of course he’s a Bene Tleilaxu, as his eyes implied. Face dancer eyes. You should look up the story of Vorian Atreides and Xavier Harkonnnen, and what Abulurd does to earn his punishment. Corrino is the other branch of the Harkonnen line, they change their names at the Battle of Corrin.

[@MartyBryce]

He is a Ghola

[@bruno3778]

This!! I was just coming to say the same thing. He is probably a ghola made by the Bene Tieilaxu .

[@RileySteel-x]

Ooo I like this theory, but how the hell does the burning power come into play??

[@abdolenecourt]

@@RileySteel-xtleilaxu technology…. Nano bots….

[@LordTelperion]

Kralizec is the name of the final apocalypse the Golden Path is supposed to avoid. These were only seen by Paul and Leto II, not the Bene Gesserit.

[@tgiacin435]

And the navigators don’t give a f***. They just want to do math and travel the universe lol😊

[@LordTelperion]

@@tgiacin435 Well, the Guild are also the true rulers of the Empire, they are far more political than initially let on. There is no interstellar travel without them, and thus no Empire without them. It was against this stranglehold on humanity's destiny that the Bene Gesserit waged their secret war, to create a super being to usurp the Navigators. Paul's final victory wasn't against the Emperor, it was against the Guild...holding the Navigators hostage by threatening to use the Water of Death to kill all the Worms and thus all Spice. Forcing them to disband the galactic fleet in orbit, trapping all the Great Houses to their home star systems, and shuttling Paul's Fremen to pick them off one by one. Paul's comprehension of Kralizec/Azrafel was incomplete initially, his Jihad across the galaxy was a prototype or watered down version of Leto II's journey/mutation/tyranny. I don't think the Bene Gesserit had any such inkling to this. At least not when their started their breeding program.

[@tgiacin435]

@ it wasn’t just the navigators. The imperium has millions of people addicted to spice. But that was a move mainly against the emperor. The guild try to remain neutral so long as nothing disrupts spice production. But Leto’s goal was mainly to kick start the scattering, and finally take humanity out of its stagnation in order to survive kralizec.

Travis Fimmel Character Desmond Hart from watching first episode. Seem very similar to Caleb in the brilliant Raised by Wolves series, which unfortunately was cancelled after two seasons 😭

[@ANJIN-p4q]

It got worse the further it went on. It was promising especially with the visuals and the generic approach but the writing ruined it for me

@@ANJIN-p4qdid they ever make a third season? I recall the second season trailing off on quality

[@tgiacin435]

I hated how it was canned because of the merger. I hope in some way, they continue it because I was excited for what they were gonna do for season 3. You had Mother trapped, and Grandmother doing some messed up stuff to the colonists. Plus what kind of humans lived on this planet before Mother and Father arrived. Plus why did that fish creature take Tempest’s baby? And why did her baby have those mutations? So many questions

From the show notes, Mikaela in the bar IS a descendant of the Fremen. But she's never been to Arrakis. Travis Fimmel said filming the burning scene with Charlie Hodson-Prior (Pruwet) was hard. Fimmel was so good in "Raised by Wolves." I got part way through "Children of Dune" and hit the overload point from reading Dune back to back. I'm going to have to get back to them once I finish "Nether Station" by Kevin J. Anderson.

[@Firestartersan]

Please do more episode breakdowns. I really enjoyed what you did on this video.

I'm almost done with Chapterhouse: Dune and this show came along at the perfect time. I haven't watched a show in a long time, hope it's good.

[@emergencyawesome]

Nice timing!

[@sigil5772]

Please, please do keep reviewing each episode! - Yes, you're right about the Bene Gesserit driving force being control, so you could have mentioned the scene showing the young women in training, where the teacher (Tula?) is talking about control of body AND mind, which is (in the books, if not mentioned in the movies AFAIK) the _prana-bindu_ training, the ability not only to control the tiniest muscle movement, but also to read the muscle movement of others (and thence unmask Tleilaxu Face Dancers). Voice is an ability derived from _prana-bindu_ .

[@GordonJamesCampbell]

@emergencyawesome please do a video per episode, I rely on your commentary for better context! 🙌 Also, do you think that Travis' character could be a AI in disguise?

[@richtang4946]

Love they explore the backstory between humans vs thinking machine

[@theo6314]

Please continue the Dune Prophecy breakdowns

[@enceladus3318]

If you are truly interested in the lore I would recommend the channel Quinn's Ideas for a more in depth and revealing analysis from a deeper perspective. The recent movies were well made, are good, though the third act in the second film fails terribly the characters of Chani and Jessica, there is so much more to the story than the style over substance of Deni Villeneuve's work.

[@alexianemp]

This was fantastic! I've read a lot of the prequels, but not the one this show is based on, so I'm looking forward to getting surprised. I'm really glad they put some money into this, it has a lot of potential! Travis Fimmel was great, yes he's mirroring his character from Raised By Wolves (I miss that show) which itself mirrored his Ragnar from Vikings, both he and that show were amazing. All the cast seem to be first class actors, which is what this kind of production needs. Please review all the episodes, Charlie, Dune is more hard core sci-fi than most of what we get nowadays, but it (and Foundation) are some of the best sci fi ever written. They deserve live action high quality productions.

I think that Desmond Hart is clearly the precursor archetype of the Mentats. A less probable option would be a facedancer. The spice has been known to give the mentats extraordinary powers of calculation and to act as advisors to the Great Houses. When he holds his head I thought immediately - It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

Could Desmond be a Face Dancer? That would explain the fact that he left the disk for the Emperor to see, Face Dancer always leave a way out for the victims.

[@jaymr2795]

I am not too familiar when the Bene Tleilax gained the ability to clone, but the first thought I had after we saw Desmond Hart dying was that he might be a Clone or Ghola.

[@tgiacin435]

Possibly a clone, if he was eaten by a worm, he’s not leaving a body. Though I do think he is a tleilaxu creation if he’s wanting to bring an end to the bene gesserit

[@EccleezyAvicii]

@@jaymr2795 [edited] in Herbert’s original novels, the timeline for when the Tlulaxa organize into the more spiritual/political movement of the Bene Tleilax is not clearly defined. We don’t see mention of Facedancers, Gholas, etc. until the time of Paul. It’s known from the non-Herbert books that the Thulaxa, the people from which the order would arise, were active early on as a culture obsessed with Genetic engineering and harbored fanatical spiritual beliefs. They got in trouble with the other houses for claiming to clone limbs and organs during the Butlerian Jihad, when later it was discovered these were taken from slaves. All that said, it does appear the direction this story is going to take. Since they would be a natural antagonist to the sisterhood considering they develop the axolotl tanks.

[@Unk13Dave]

It will be nice if you are able to do an episodic breakdown every week but I know how much work that takes. Its been so long since I read the books, but they do seem to be adhering to the story, until we get to this random fellow Desmond in the mix. They picked a time period not specifically covered in the narrative in order to have the freedom to write the story like they wanted, but I do hope they stick to a story relevant faction for his origin. Face Dancer, Bene Tlelax, House (?) , or space guild none have been mentioned yet.

[@mrlifguard]

I'd like to see an episode by episode breakdown. If I recall, the House Corrino and House Harkonnen come from the same family but the Corrinos changed their names to not be associated with Harkonnen. I would like to see a Butlerian Jihad series that shows what happened between Omnius, the Titans, and humanity. It would be a nice introduction into Atreides household and how they descend directly from the greatest Titan, Agamemnon.

[@williamdaniels9728]

They should make a 'Children Of Dune' series once Dune 3: Messiah ends. Other contenders for a series could be 'Duncan Idaho' prequel series showing a young man that eventually becomes Jason Momoa's 'Duncan Idaho' in Dune might be somewhat interesting vehicle in exploring the various worlds & Houses of Dune. I like that the Dune "universe" is getting bigger. Maybe someday they can circle back and give us a proper 'Butlerian Jihad' movie or series and show us who Raquela was, maybe make it an anime to reduce the budget.

[@LawrenceCushionberry]

Their's a "Children of Dune "TV series already. It even stars a young James McAvoy.

A big part of what they are establishing with this first episode is that in the 10 000 years since the Butlerian Jihad, humanity has remained at a standstill. There has been zero progress in either life adaptation or technology in those 10 000 years, with the exception of the navigator's guild, and this only due to the effects of the spice melange gas.
