    im sort of resorting to a hanlons "never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity" and calming my nerdrage and going away. i'll be in the corner furiously masturbating about the final 2 books that will never release. kill me.

    Or you could do what I'm doing, rereading the Dune books, another unfinished masterpeace

    frustration all over again

    DUNE is all time great sci-fi, but I stopped after the first one. I heard the sequels weren't that good though. You recommend reading them?

    I loved them when I read them. I was also 13? when I did though. Definitely some slow development in some of the books to power through but overall I remember them kindly. Might be time to reread them as well.

    The lost episode

    Hey let's burn them up with dragons. Wait we have 80 minutes to fill with darkness and shadows fighting each other. Pull back the dragons for no reason. Let's go to Bronn. Well that sucks

    Let's kill Theon. He's a good guy.

    60 minutes of unintelligible battle should do it.

    Did we win? I couldn't tell.

    Yes. Messiah isn't that great, since it's about Paul losing his nerve and failing to fulfill the vision. Children is better, as Leto picks up where Paul failed. God Emperor was my least favorite as a teenager, but I find that I'm really enjoying it as an old fuck. Heretics was my favorite after the original; the Bashar Teg is one of my favorite characters in the series. Chapter House was good as I recall but it's been a long time since I've read it. The several pulp volumes written many years after Herbert's death, supposedly after his general outline of the Big Picture was found in a safe deposit box, are all shit. Read the wiki pages on them if you want to know what Herbert's plan was for the whole story, but don't waste your time slogging through the dreck books that lesser men penned.

    Less concise than my version, but at least you know people's names. 10/10 review. I chinned.
