I don't know if I would consider myself a Diehard Dune Fan, but I am most assuredly a big one. I understand it is hard to compare the newer Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson Dune books to Frank Herberts origonal series, different writers will write different, even if he's his son using his notes, but I have still enjoyed the Prelude books and I am almost finished with the Legends books.

I've learned not to be to discriminating when it comes to forms of entertainment. I get alot of time on my hands at work, and with out something to read or do, it can become very tedious.

I think Mick Farren's DNA Cowboys world would be a good one to live in.
The "Stuff Computer" beaming in anything and everything you want, including made to order Clones, assuming you can afford them.
Not to mention all the Sex, Drugs and ... well Music... that you could want.

Watched an epsiode of Firefly on DVD last night and I would just like to reiterate a very important point I made earlier ni this thread:

Friendly warning. It's not too wise to mention the latest Dune books to die hard Dune fans. I'll admit they're the only ones I've really read and they were entertaining enough, if lacking in some areas, but recent Dune books are to die hard Dune fans as the SW prequels are to die hard SW fans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. Me, I take what I can from things and don't let faults bother me.

Well apart from mixing genres and unsympathetic "good guys" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Amazing writer or not, Mr. Herbert Jr. was nice enough to take the time to tell us all the stuff that lead up to the Dune universe.

I'll take that.

Didn't Herbert sr. do that in the first book though? It's in the appendix

Well, since SG1 and B5 are the only options for ascension... and B5 only gives it to messianic elites like Sheridan. I'll choose SG1 while Oma is still helping people out.

...Contrive to be on Abydos when it's scorched?

Of course, then you get to sit on your hands for the rest of eternity...

...I don't think much of the 'ascended' in SG - You've got a choice of indifferent or evil.

Heh, Abydos go boom!
Most of scifi is pretty weak on "future evolution" stuff. And that darn Trek non-interference has pervaded too much scifi as an excuse for dismissing advanced beings.
