Dune: Prophecy

Yes, it's based on "Sisterhood of Dune" :rwmad:

Alison Schapker is the showrunner. She worked on Alias, and Altered Carbon... but also THE FUCKING FLASH. lol

I will not have very high hopes for this show, but I am open to the possibility that KJA's shit writing might translate into a decent tv show.
 
Oh it was going to be named Dune: The Sisterhood or something but they changed it, probably because they won't want people thinking about BAD BOOKS.
 
First episode was a lot of character introductions. It looked pretty nice but obviously not at the level of the movies. There was some nice sci-fi stuff that I am inclined to like. But a lot of it did just feel like a Dune remix. I'm not sure if it did a great job telling us why we should care about it all? I liked the Princess I guess? When she called her 9 year old husband a little shit that was good. I still felt bad when he got boiled, a bit.

The whole thing where it's 10,000 years before Paul is born and nothing much changes in that time is a bit crazy but I guess that's from the books.
 
Wacky, what happened at the end was some dumb shit invented for this series. No one has that power in Dune.

Anyway, I think it was pretty good for a series premiere, and the acting was good. I am trying not to be too biased against it!

Nothing can ruin an adaptation like reading source first.
 
They didn't until Paul's jihad. It is possible she is not from Arrakis, and somehow has enough spice to turn her eyes blue, but if she could get it, so could the BG.
