The Bene Gesserit are my favorite faction in all sci-fi. Political witches with complete control over their minds and bodies steering the human race. Dope.

This is Brian Herbert and his writing partners content.

The "let's make 3 books out of a short story content" gang.

Yes, no need to repeat a page of some character portfolio every time they appear in a chapter just so you can have more useless shit written.

I was really, really excited for this show, given it was HBO and DUNE content.

I've never walked off a cliff faster than I have just now.

Just...Fuck sake.

>the series will follow the Harkonnen Sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind

That's the line from the Deadline article that has me worried. I'm really hoping I'm wrong and it's not the big bad they created on their own.

This would be set far in the past of the book Dune, or the recent movie.

I loved going from dune to wheel of time. The bene gesserit and aes sedai are practically the same organization, although the aes sedai are all far more incompetent and generally more terrible people.

Gotta love magical witches thinking they know better than everyone else.
