But at least we currently have a solid chunk of Dune-time to work with that until now has been unmolested. Once these Interquels come out, they're going to twist and bastardize everything FH wrote.SandChigger wrote:Haven't we been doing that already, tho?Nekhrun wrote:I can easily see that coming up in the future.

This is a real fear that I've voiced before. I would hope that there would be enough people on the HLP board who would oppose it...but then again, they've been unbelievably complicit with what's happened so far. Fortunately Kevin doesn't have voting rights. So far as we know. (Or are Brian's really Kevin voting by proxy?)Omphalos wrote:I cant wait for them to put out "re-edited" versions of the original six books, so as to clear up any "mistakes" FH made and to clarify his "dense and hard to understand" prose?
The way they slipped that new material into the paperbacks of Grunters without mention shows that they're not to be trusted. All new editions of the book should be scrutinized, really.

Thank Gawd, KJA is writing Dune for dummies...

God no! can you imagine B&K warping the minds of little children with their writting? I mean, i can handle fan fiction but a 8 or 9 year old? what they did with HoD and SoD is criminal but Dune for children is downright crimes against humanity.

No, Dune for dummies would actually seek to explain the major points that Frank was trying to make and seek to make the book easier to digest.Rakis wrote:Nekhrun wrote:I can't even tell what's a FH mistake/inconsistency and what isn't because it's all so complicated.

Nonsense. Most of those preeks are born dumb- that is, even if you tried to culture them they still wouldn't get past a certain low level.
I'm sometimes amazed at how dumb most people are though, and it's not that I'm that much of a genius(well, I am, I'm just putting this humble nonsense here so no one would have any claim afterwards ), just above average.

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.
