Dune: Prophecy

[herbalhippie]

New Dune miniseries drops tomorrow night at 9:00 Eastern on HBO Max. There will be 6 episodes.

This is sort of a prequel to the recent Dune movies and the book Dune
itself. It's about the beginning of the Bene Gesserit and is set something
like 10k years before the events of Dune. Here's a trailer

gah! Thanks for the info, do you think you could give me a head's up if it gets onto a free platform?

I dun have that stream.

Had to put my mom's cat down today, kinda bummed, but we'll be ok, and she only really bonded with my mom. Recently she gave me more attention, though. 19yrs, her back legs started failing, deaf, but a sweet face. Now we can take a trip in Feb w/out worrying about her being boarded.

Miss chattin with ya, I'm online less and my keyboard is all hemajang (busted up, a mess, not working 100%)

Is there such a thing as a free streaming platform anymore?

Sorry to hear about your kitty :'(

Thanks H²!! This looks awesome!

And apparently the prequel IS intentionally tied to the 2021 & 2023 movies -

How was the first episode?

I haven't watched it yet! I've been modding my butt off on the sub. About 500 mod actions in 24 hours. 250 in one hour after the episode was done.

I'll wait for all the episodes to be released and then binge it over a weekend. I've been waaay too spoiled by modern streaming. I can't do the weekly episode format anymore. I always wait for entire seasons of shows and then binge.

I'm undecided if I want to watch the first episode sometime before the second one Sunday evening or binge it all later.

It's not like I don't already know what's going on. Over and over and OVER. Every detail.

I definitely prefer the binge where I can watch it all at my own pace. Having to mod the dune sub, I bet you've heard every spoiler by now lol.

I know plots for things that haven't even been released yet.

I was once in a forum for the TV show Rome and someone posted something along the lines of how they were looking forward to seeing how the show handled the assassination of Caesar on that night's episode, and so of course they were met with an angry "No Spoilers!!!", lol.

On a side note, I was was unable to enjoy the prequel to Battlestar Galactica because (spoiler alert), I knew that the series finale of the show made anything and everything that could happen largely irrelevant to me, at least on an emotional level. Those dummies who wrote that episode really painted themself in a corner with that ending, and I suspect it was partly the result of anger issues at the show ending much sooner than they were prepared for. They were probably hoping the show would be like the Star Trek franchise goose, and they'd be hauling in golden eggs forever, but nope.

P.S. For years and years I was posting how Christopher Walken would make a great Count Fenring because of the idiosyncratic way Fenring spoke, which Walken could match, and because he had a dancer's grace, which Fenrig as the deadliest killer of the Imperium also had. I had to laugh when it was revealed Walken would play Emperor Shaddam, Fenring's pal.

"You can't always get what you want ..."

Walken would have made a great Fenring. Kyle MacLachlan, the first Paul Atreides, would have made a great Emperor. oh well...

Shoot, I really wish I could watch this.
