Dune Prophecy Episode 6 Deep Dive w/AltshiftX, Nerdcookies

The emperor is so poor he cant afford a jail, just puts all his prisoners floating around together where they can chat and scheme to their hearts content.

The switch from 'Sisterhood above all' to 'Sisters above all' was a really nice subtle touch. Especially since, even with that, there still wasn't the actual trust (and likely properly so)

The plan seemed to be like: Valya breaks Ynez out of jail, Theo-Ynez takes the Princess's place in jail. Valya and Ynez run away to Arrakis, Theo-Ynez remains jailed at the Palace. Ynez demanded Keiran to be released as well. After that, there wasn't really any point in keeping Theo in jail as Ynez. No one was going to believe she was left behind while Atreides was taken. And, well, no one really stopped and thought about it for 15 seconds on what to do next, so they still left Theo behind, and she improvised a bad plan to stab Desmond Hart.

The conversation Valya had with the emperor in the throne room when she decimated his ego is similar to the scene Frank Herbert wrote in Dune between Jessica & Thufur Hawat. The specific scene when Jessica confronts Thufur when he suspected her of being the traitor. Jessica does the same thing and ends the confrontation with “ now you understand the true power of the Bene Jesserit”.

Thanks, everyone, for joining us for these streams. It's been a blast!

I really liked the line that the young Harkonnen sisters said to eachother. Instead of “Sisterhood above all” they say “Sisters above all”

Javicco's downfall was so tragic. After being kicked down 3 times this episode, he believes his suicide is actually his choice. Brutal.

Sister Avila clearly told Lila (Dorothea) where the bodies were. Remember she was the only one that choose to be led by Valya.

Thank you. The audio is finally balanced.

48:05 - the vision is false, it was planted - he wasn't ever swallowed by a worm.
