If you’re seeing The Odyssey this weekend, remember that The Iliad, where Odysseus’ story begins, is the only Dune prequel worth reading. (Atreides = Sons of Atreus. Paul is canonically a direct descendent of Menelaus.)

canonically, this still will have a lot of explaining to do. fremen are conditioned from (very) early childhood not to waste any water. that's why it's a big deal when Paul gives moisture to the dead - they're in awe of it because they can't do it. it's an inhibition not easily overcome.

i’m so happy DV decided to re-write Messiah. if the movie can deliver on the trailer, I feel like we might get a first in the world of Dune: an adaptation that is better than the book 🤞

Just made this connection and I love it. Origin of "to decide:" decidere is a latin verb composed of the prefix de- (meaning "off" or "down") and caedere ("to cut") Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'

I haven't pulled anything close to an all-nighter for at least 15 years but yesterday I had the privilege of talking Dune to the fellas at the @duneminute.com podcast until 3AM. I had no more than 3 hours of sleep, so I did not have a fun day but man.....

offtopic: I was a bit concerned that the Odyssey movie is coming out too soon after the latest adaptation. I've now looked it up: the Hallmark TV miniseries (which I remember enjoying) came out in 1997... then again, Ralph Fiennes's The Return was only 2 years ago.

Dune, deleted scene: Leto II on the first day of the Golden Path

030

Dune Navigator Martin @dunenavigator.com · 17/06/2026

part of the reason I fell in love with Dune is the quiet and subtle world-building. e.g. Duncan deduces that Leto II must've banned shields because of the lasgun-shield interactions and the ban on atomics - but readers can realize it's because sandworms will go berserk and Leto is part sandworm now

ah yeah, i remember that from the later Dune books

Dune Navigator Martin @dunenavigator.com · 15/06/2026

an anagram for Paul Atreides is “ideal pasture” - which makes perfect sense because he promises to turn Dune into a green paradise then again, you can also arrange the letters as “diaper salute” so what do i know 🫡

raising the retirement age is always bad, sure, but since we're obviously on the Dune timeline, just remember that Yueh was still working at 109

is it just me or is the guy on the left CLEARLY a Romulan? and one that's trying to pretend to be a Vulcan to infiltrate any which of the Enterprises. and we the audience obviously know it even before it's revealed in the plot. just me?

something I want to write heist Dune book, Lanville and a ragtag band of Atreides and Fremen raiding the Hark spice stores on Geidi Prime it starts where Leto gives the command in the book and ends where Lanville is killed by Feyd in the DV movie, connecting the two think Rogue One - a Dune story
