I want a sci-fi war thriller where most of the space combat just happens on computer screens with dudes in thick glasses compiling data in a cramped command center filled with empty coffee cups and ashtrays

Instead of an angel on one shoulder, there’s another demon that whispers even more insane stuff into her ear than the demon on her other shoulder
@ChaseMit
Peak character development:
S1E1 — a little paper cut on the pinky
S1E8 — the entire audience crying as the dying man lumps across the throne room to save his rightful heir and beloved daughter
I’m just gonna say this
No shade on Zendaya’s Chani but Shishakli/Souheila Yacoub did a lot of heavy lifting for her in the first two acts, and her lack of recognition is criminal
@HOTDsource
Same energy that had him basically crawl half-dead and in incredible pain across the throne room and onto the Iron Throne, because some people dared threaten his only legacy with the love of his life - his daughter
@TSoS_
I don’t even think he meant to be funny. In retrospect, his adoration of Paul is perfectly consistent throughout — it’s only the context which makes it funny in the first act, cringey in the second act, and terrifying in the third act.

Also stuff like this:

Atreides members: there is a spy. Who is the spy? Maybe him. Maybe her.
Also Atreides members: NOT OUR YUEH, COULDN’T BE PRECIOUS YUEH

Mohican saw that her sexiest operative (Jessica) was still captured by Leto’s charms and thought none of the BG could stand a chance against Daddy Duke
By the grace of Shaddam IV of House Corrino, ascendant to the Golden Lion Throne of Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe, I stand before you as Herald of the Change.
We are witnessed by members of the Imperial Court……

@Jinofski
It’s funnier than that.
The Imperium does know where the Earth is and its significance as humanity’s birthplace - it’s where the Orange Catholic Bible was compiled - but over the ages, people just stopped giving a shit about Earth.

They didn’t really have a choice but to delay Paul and Chani’s children, since the timeline between the fall of House Atreides and the ascendance of Paul as emperor was shrunken to below nine months (as evidenced by Jessica still being pregnant).
@paulatreideez
He takes it off when he thinks he’s liberated from the grief of his family connection
He puts it back on when he knows he cannot escape his family connection and must lean into the horror

Featuring the al-Hamasbollah (very very bad guys) and the Palesraelistan Liberation Army (good guys who love the Americans unconditionally)
@AltHistCody
Tried poking China, didn’t work. Tried poking Russia, didn’t work the way they wanted. So back to the ol’ give-jihadis-room-for-shenanigans trick to justify a war.
How *incredibly* conveniently this solves all of Bibi’s domestic political problems.

The nezhoni scarf is worn by Fremen women who have given birth to a son.
In the book, Paul and Chani have a son, who is found killed in the raid on Sietch Tabr.
Many readers interpreted Chani’s tying of the scarf on her arm as the sign of mourning, before the film’s release.
@xialingsfling
Even though he’s explicitly mocking him in this moment, there must have been an undercurrent of respect — we see that when he tells Paul that he fought well, as his choice of last words.
