As I'm sure you can expect from my reaction to the SW sequel trilogy... my favorite thing about Dune Messiah was the subversion of expectations. :haha:

Totally.

I wonder how I would have reacted to it if I'd read it a long time ago. But I read the first three Dune books within the last couple years. But I totally understand why people were disappointed with Messiah. It's a really weird and unexpected turn. Very bold.

Yes very bold and when I think about it the best most realistic choice. Herbert knew what he was doing.

We all know the opening riff well enough at this point.

Remember when Ted Danson was in Saving Private Ryan? That was weird.
