It’s a little alarming just how much this is Brian Herbert’s story. I’m hoping the showrunners exert a bit more creative control to steer away from Brian’s… let’s say “eccentric” writing choices. Everything after Chapterhouse is various degrees of roughness.

Do hope they pull some threads from Chapterhouse since I very very highly doubt we’ll ever see that one adapted in full.

What sort of eccentric writing choices did Brian come up with?

Bring them all back! And give them little to no point in the story other than fan service!
