On random shit
I'm telling you, as soon as I can get a digital cmaera I'll film me buring some of the hack's books. (Hey! Maybe I'll montage it andset it too 'Burning for you' by the Blue oyster Cult!)

Let's see...How Leto have them executed?
Not sure. Here's how I would do it:
Have them tied to stakes and whipped until unconscopius. When they reawke, have a man in a robe and hood douse them in gasoline and and burn them alive. Then, in their final moments, reveal the gasoline man to be none other than Frank Herbert, his smiling bearded watching paternally over them as they die. [/i]
If it weren't for God Emperor, I doubt I'd ever have felt the need to hang around a Dune discussion board.
Well are you enjoying it? Stupid question, I know...

Paul of Dune was so bad it gave me a seizure that dislocated both of my shoulders and prolapsed my anus.

Yeah, GEoD is one of those books that I liked but didn't quite understand on the first reading. I'm on my second reading of it and it's much easier and more enjoyable this time around.Freakzilla wrote:GEoD is tough to get through the first time, hang in there Sole Man.
But even my first reading of GEoD made it clear that anything FH wrote was much better than the new books.

GEoD by itself is evidence of Frank Herbert's genius. And, judging by the "conclusion" in Grunters/Sadworms, it's absolutely obvious BH and KJA totally missed the whole point... sad...
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of sapho that the thoughts acquire speed; the lips aquire stains; the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

I think that nulifying Leto IIs sacrafice and negating the GP is worst thing they could have possibly done. All the other inconsistancies are nothing compared, this is blasphemy.dunepunk wrote:GEoD by itself is evidence of Frank Herbert's genius.

Freak, you don't understand. BH/KJA had to, because it was in Frank's outline for Dune-7. It was his plan to make his previous three Dune books completely pointless.
Killer-cyborgs with brain-jars, robot-clowns in drag, Saint Scytale the just, psychopath-bitch Murbella, a Sandworm deep-throat scene, chunks of meat flying around every three pages.
It all blends so naturally with the end of Chapterhouse. Surely you recognize the style of the master when you see it?

Fucking up the finely crafted commentary on heroes and hero-worship by introducing the midget-God and her deux-ex-machina-solutions is just as bad.
And ruining the Butlerian Jihads relevance for, and resonance with, all the ongoing plots and themes in the chronicles is equally blasfemous.
I think you will find your outrage over nullifying all of Leto II's work is based on the obviousness of it, it's clarity. It is a giant finger to both Leto II the character, and to GEoD the book!
As well as a giant stinkpile and insult to to Frank and his fans, of course - but that goes for all their Dune writings.
Oh my, the dynamic duo has truly divided the fanbase... Or maybe it just shows us which things in Dune we liked the most - when we see them slandered and ridiculed!

RAD.
Frank's books as biased or false in-universe texts while theirs tell the "true version" is the ultimate slap in the face.

Could have been worse though: Sandworms of Dune, last scene:
Paul Atreides wakes up in his bed on Caladan, bathing in sweat. It was all just a nightmare. The End.
Speaking of Nightmares. Who would have thought back in 1999, when the first prequel was published, that they would fuck up so BADLY.
I mean, it's kind of mind-boggling how someone can write in the Duniverse for ten years and still make mistakes even a casual reader can spot.
