Dune Navigator Martin

I don't subscribe to any conspiracy theories... except this one: www.dunenavigator.com/p/the-origin...

A beginning is a very delicate time. So is every move after it.

my contribution to the Dune timeline → I created Cheops go try it and let me know what you think 💛

i’m sorry? why didn’t you tell me ikea’s selling muad’dibs?

this one's for the fellas at the @duneminute.com podcast ❤️

If you’re seeing The Odyssey this weekend, remember that The Iliad, where Odysseus’ story begins, is the only Dune prequel worth reading. (Atreides = Sons of Atreus. Paul is canonically a direct descendent of Menelaus.)

canonically (almost) accurate baliset 😱

canonically, this still will have a lot of explaining to do. fremen are conditioned from (very) early childhood not to waste any water. that's why it's a big deal when Paul gives moisture to the dead - they're in awe of it because they can't do it. it's an inhibition not easily overcome.

i’m trying to play it cool, but - just between us - i’m getting more hyped every time i watch the trailer. i need to stop doing that. and i need to stop going through it frame by frame

i’m so happy DV decided to re-write Messiah. if the movie can deliver on the trailer, I feel like we might get a first in the world of Dune: an adaptation that is better than the book 🤞

Just made this connection and I love it. Origin of "to decide:" decidere is a latin verb composed of the prefix de- (meaning "off" or "down") and caedere ("to cut") Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'

The episode you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! Join us as we wrap our miniseries coverage up with a trip to Arrakis with the one and only @dunenavigator.com ! In this 4 hour epic, we tackle conspiracy, worms, and skin that is not our own. #dune #duneminute

@duneinfo.com is it true that Jessica's face tattoo is the litany against fear? 😱

the syfy mini series delivered the best Paul and the best Chani and I’m happy to die on this hill

I haven't pulled anything close to an all-nighter for at least 15 years but yesterday I had the privilege of talking Dune to the fellas at the @duneminute.com podcast until 3AM. I had no more than 3 hours of sleep, so I did not have a fun day but man.....

Dune, deleted scene: Leto II (the second) presents Nayla with a genuine crysknife

offtopic: I was a bit concerned that the Odyssey movie is coming out too soon after the latest adaptation. I've now looked it up: the Hallmark TV miniseries (which I remember enjoying) came out in 1997... then again, Ralph Fiennes's The Return was only 2 years ago.

5 ways the desert has changed the Fremen - number 5 will make you blush :D

every time i see the Dune3 poster saying "the epic conclusion" i have an unbearable itch to comment

Dune, deleted scene: Paul Muad'Dib putting on his father's ducal ring

Dune, deleted scene: Leto II on the first day of the Golden Path

Dune quotes without context: "It was only when she saw the rope come snaking down that Nayla had her orgasm."

part of the reason I fell in love with Dune is the quiet and subtle world-building. e.g. Duncan deduces that Leto II must've banned shields because of the lasgun-shield interactions and the ban on atomics - but readers can realize it's because sandworms will go berserk and Leto is part sandworm now

Moneo and Siona

ah yeah, i remember that from the later Dune books

an anagram for Paul Atreides is “ideal pasture” - which makes perfect sense because he promises to turn Dune into a green paradise then again, you can also arrange the letters as “diaper salute” so what do i know 🫡

raising the retirement age is always bad, sure, but since we're obviously on the Dune timeline, just remember that Yueh was still working at 109

i'm looking for a man in spice sands. with a stillsuit. crys knife. blue eyes.

I just realized where I've seen Jason Momoa's menacing stare before - check this out:

God Emperor of Dune - CW edition

📸 Dune — Vellum Cloth Simulation | par Max Chernov ➡️ www.artstation.com/artwork/6L9aW5 #FrankHerbert #Novel #SciFiBook #DuneArt #FanArt #SciFiArt #Dune

the only thing I couldn’t find is the price of a ghola - everything else is in here: www.dunenavigator.com/articles/wha...

is it just me or is the guy on the left CLEARLY a Romulan? and one that's trying to pretend to be a Vulcan to infiltrate any which of the Enterprises. and we the audience obviously know it even before it's revealed in the plot. just me?

like I know he wanted to describe a muscle mommy, but the phrasing just throws me. what's a professional muscle fanatic? what's deceptive care? how can you move like that? what does he meeeean? :D

Dune quotes without context: “she moved with the deceptive care of a professional muscle fanatic”

Dune quotes without context: "my flesh longeth for Thy way in a dry and thirsty land"

tempus fugit

i'll never get over the fact that we didn't see leto's big fat greek wedding

as Dune3 is approaching, it's great to see people starting to talk about god emperor too - DV can't stop at children

i dont know how you can call yourself the descendant of atreus and not talk about your grandma’s moussaka not a single mention of tzatziki either six books and not one gyros

i’m not saying i’m a hero but today i managed to convince someone (who absolutely loved dune) not to stop at children and give god emperor a try

something I want to write heist Dune book, Lanville and a ragtag band of Atreides and Fremen raiding the Hark spice stores on Geidi Prime it starts where Leto gives the command in the book and ends where Lanville is killed by Feyd in the DV movie, connecting the two think Rogue One - a Dune story

hot take: messiah should never have been published it should’ve stayed background material and/or used as flashbacks in children of dune #fightme

you know what they call Dune in Paris?

gotta tell you, reading beefswelling is one thing - hearing beefswelling in the audiobook version is a whole nother level
