Now that the show is renewed for season 2 I won't have to grind my teeth on Sunday when everything is left on cliffhangers.

Awesome!

I don't see how this show can possibly stick the landing next week in a satisfying manner. Will it be really sisterhood over all now that we know who Desmond is? Here's my own Dune prophesy - the show will leave several story lines on frustrating cliff-hangers and HBO won't give the show a second season. I hope I am wrong on that.

That's not a sand snake. That's Shai-Hulud a sand worm, basically the god of this universe.

Desmond remains the most compelling character for me. I too suspect he is really Vorian Atreides. He seemed to want to give Valya access to his blood sample, lol. Am I supposed to have any affection for Valya and Tula? They are both utter villains to me at this point. I think they are going to find out that their big bogey man Vorian didn't actually kill Griffin. My problem is I have zero interest in Kieren, or the princess and that whole bunch.

Hey guys, Interview with a Vampire got nominated for a Critics Choice award. Sam Reid got nominated for best supporting actor.

The irony is that as a woman I would never stay as a lone woman with a man I don't know all that well and a whole group of his male relatives. I had nasty visions of sacrifice and gang rape in my head. I didn't expect her to be the predator to them.

What if the storied Vorian Atreides didn't even kill Griffin and it was the Sisterhood?

Excellent episode! I was completely stunned by Tula taking out all these Atreides males in this superb and deeply disturbing sequence. I am nervous how this limited series is going to wrap up the plot in a satisfactory manner in just 3 more episodes.

From what I read Dylan's bosses didn't even know he had been a contestant on Bake-off, never mind how far he had gotten. He kept it all to himself.

Ah, Dylan, the pressure got to him in the final. That's the thing with this show you gotta peak at the right time and not fall apart when it counts the most. Easier said than done. To me he remains the most gifted baker of this bunch. I am glad he got a dream job. I feel conflicted about Georgie winning this, she basically quit in the semi-final and had to be babied to make it through. She reminded me unpleasantly of the baker in an early season who had a temper tantrum and threw his bake in the trash.

The difference is in who controls him, if its Leto 2, well I am partial to the children of Paul Atreides, especially Leto. Grins. You could say I am partial to the Worm. I just don't like these witches at all, especially when they are lead by this Harkonnen - look how they use their young members. I don't think Desmond is a good guy by any means I just happen to dislike Valya more.

Laughs. And here I thought my speculation was so out there. I thought all along that

Forgive me, I must be dense - is Leto 2 the character played by James McAvoy in the mini-series?

Still intrigued and liking this. Still finding "Desmond Hart" the most interesting part of this. I have some wild speculations over who or what controls him but sadly we can't wildly speculate here. I will say I never liked the Bennies and I find the whole concept of them and their genetic manipulations err...creepy and icky. I was gleeful when Valya could not control Desmond Hart and make him kill himself. As a young one I watched the Sci-fi channels Dune mini-series and I have never seen Paul Atreides as a heroic figure. I was always more partial to the character played by James McAvoy to put it vaguely. Smiles. That was the first role I ever saw him in and I was smitten.
