  • Summary

  • Join nerd power couple Alex and Elayne as we take a spoiler-free chapter-by-chapter dive into the classic sci-fi Dune series by Frank Herbert. Elayne is a prolific sci-fi/fantasy reader who has somehow let this classic series pass her by, while Alex is on his second read and will be our resident “expert”. In each episode, released on Mondays, we'll recap and discuss up to three chapters, and talk about plot points, characters, and the Dune universe at large, all in a manner that's spoiler-free and safe for first-time readers.

    Season 7 Episode 8: Retrospective on Main Dune Series
    Mar 27 2023
    At long last, we get out act together and record our thoughts on the whole main Dune series, discussing the overarching plot, comparing our respective rankings, and considering how the series fits into the greater sci-fi canon. We hope to be back for future Dune content and, just maybe, some other nerdy podcasts about sci-fi. In the meantime, thank you for listening and watch out for sandworms!

    In this episode, we take a look at the final third or so of Sandworms of Dune, in which the thinking machines orchestrate a duel between competing Paul gholas only for Duncan to turn out to be the Kwisatz Haderach they were looking for, the Oracle of Time shows up and finds both saving the human fleet and destroying Omnius to be barely an inconvenience, the Face Dancers are summarily dispatched before they can actually execute any of their plan to turn on the machines, and we see the final state of the Dune universe - complete with a surprising number of happy endings for characters from throughout the series.
