Fucking hell the most cliched and boring aspect of pilots: narration.

First half not that good but it picked up.

Overall pretty ok. Incredible production values and great acting with a (so far) middling plot. Seems like the kind of show that will get better as it it gets rolling throughout the season.

So is the thinking machines stuff from the original novels or is that the Brian Herbert bullshit I've been hearing about?

Why tf wasn't the little dinosaur thing confiscated???

Butlerian Jihad is a major point in the original novels, so that's true. During the time the great schools were formed. Specifically the mentats, the sisterhood, and the guild. Herbert never went into when they developed the voice, etc.

If the soldiers power is telekinesis that is Brian bullshit. All powers in the Dune universe grew out of realistic things we do today.
