Dune: Prophecy

[4thgenhorn 42]

I keep trying to watch this and want to like it…but man it is boring. Quite the snoozer. Which character are you supposed to even root for?  Not GOT caliber. Disappointing.

This show is great at putting me to sleep

I think the age of prestige TV is over.

The only things that could save this show are tits.

I'm at the age where I can appreciate hot GILF action.

I know it's the main part of the show, but my complaint is the Dune nunnery.  IMO, that's the boring part.  My mind immediately shuts off during these scenes.

I don’t think we need another season of Desmond Hart(?), but I don’t think they have enough runway to resolve his storyline. So they’ll HotD this thing into another season.

Shapeshifting is the sci in sci-fi? Sounds more like fantasy genre to me.

Also, shapeshifting is a lazy device in any kind of story. And I hate the word.

Don't make me come off the porch and really scold everyone!

That would be a shame. The first two seasons have been excellent.

Anything well-done is good with me. If that is the case with the shapeshifting or if that is not a critical element of the narration, I'll be fine.

It’s a human evolution thing, it’s not fantasy or magic. Think of the face dancers as human chameleons. They’re almost certainly using forbidden technology to speed things up, but the empire and Great Houses look the other way. They’re definitely afraid of the face dancers, but they’re a powerful guild and they need them. 
 

An important reminder about Dune, much as in our world, there is no magic. It’s humans spending endless hours training themselves to do extraordinary things while high as shit on spice.
