that's still three more episodes of solid character development than Chakotay and Harry Kim got combined.

Tuvix got more loving development than them and he only existed for like 35 minutes!

i hate this episode. luckily the rest of the series more than makes up for it.
any episode of any trek series whose summary contains the phrase "[female lead] falls in love with *" is pretty much bullshit and okay to skip because you know the love interest will be gone next week no matter what

it's so nice to watch a film adaptation where the director has actually read and enjoyed the book.

I love David Lynch and Dune but that movie was bad.

why did he make the weirding way into a stupid sound weapon?

the female lead's love interest always conveniently dies, or has to leave forever to FOCUS ON MY RESEARCH or they turn out to be an alien mind rapist or something

picard at least got a recurring love interest

I was remembering and inwardly chuckling at that part where Picard goes to Risa and picks up a whore'gahn for Riker and it almost gets Jean Luc accidentally laid

funny stuff

but if it had worked, and Picard ended up having sex against his will because of Riker, could you say that Riker raped Picard?

I'm going explore this in some speculative fiction and get back to y'all

i think he decided he couldn't film a fighting technique that was all about inward muscular control and stuff

that movie could have been good but the way the studio butchered it shows so bad
"hmm it's running long let's cut out massive amounts of plot and replace them with voiceover"

the visuals etc own but if you haven't read the book it's incomprehensible

the sci-fi one may have had wonky effects etc but at least it gave the story some room to breathe. also they did the first two sequels also so there's that

Yeah I tried watching it but I hadn't read dune so I'd see something cool or hosed up and be like "whoa wait what go back what was that" and it'd be gone. And I knew there must be like an 8 page explanation in the book. On top of that it was just not a fun movie and I was high as poo poo. It was really difficult to watch.

If you didn't show him flying or whatever, how would you know it was an antigrav ring? It would be lame to specifically say, why not just show, wire work is cheap

agreed.

Also I would kill to Jodorowsky's version of dune.

The emperor has a robot twin, melange is a blue sponge full of microscopic life which reflects the rest of the universe and Duke leto is a eunuch.

The movie ended with Paul getting his throat cut, his mother and all of the fremen speaking in his voice simultaneously while all melange of the planet transmutes into rainbow coloured consciousness and explodes the planet into columns of light.

Also, Baron Harkonnen looks like this

Feyd Rautha looks like this

and Piter de'vries looks like this

that owns.

Dune is probably unfilmable though. You would need to dedicate too much screen time to expository infodumps about the landsraad and CHOAM and melange and the bene gesserit and the guild so that anyone who hasn't read the book has the slightest idea of what is going on.

Do you guys like the dune sequels? I think it gets a bit too much into the zen philosophy, Hayt is a boring character.

those books written by his son are abominable.
