Tula may appear to be softer, but she is just as ruthless as her sister. Kills her enemy's entire family, then makes loves to him and kills him too after showing him what she had done and why. Yikes.
This ep was ice cold. The young actors playing the sisters are fabulous and rival their elder counterparts.
Young Valyas performance was amazing! I was right there with her. I look forward to see the actress in other things
That’s a fact!! Brotha these young actresses are amazing , but so are the older versions! High quality acting overall
Casting is fantastic for the sisters.
The casting is 😘🤌🏽 **Chef's Kiss**
According to Cannon, House Harkonnen actually became rich because of Breastplate Strecher Industry funded by Bobby B and Lancel Harkonnen.
Nick Cannon or Delores Cannon?
I did not even realize father Harkonnen was Robert Baratheon until you made this joke.
The breastplate stretcher! 😂😂😂 good one.
"Gods he was strong" 😂😂
Bobby Boucher?
These reviews are such a service to the fan communities of the shows you cover. The shows are lucky to have you here, guiding our understandings of the hard work they've put into the nuanced storytelling. What a time to be a fan! And you set such a great example of what TH-cam SHOULD be used for.
This was my favourite episode. Loved the story of young Valya and Tula, and how they went back and forth in time seamlessly.
So few episodes. I miss the 22 episode-era, but that would bankrupt HBO
i wonder if the production value is what made it into just 6 episodes. oh well, so long as the completed result turns out good, that's what matters
god, can u imagine the price tag for a 22 episode of this series? or house of the dragon? whew-weeee!
It wouldn't bankrupt them. Our disappointment bankrolls them.
6 is sacrilege.. not even giving at least 8.. western shows cost so dam much and take too much time
@@바보Queen yea 8 is the bare minimum. ALSO... these streaming series really need to do something about these 2 + years in between seasons - Netflix, HBO, Apple+ etc.... that is absolutely an absurd amount of time to have to wait.
Perhaps it is Dorothea who will be reborn of spice in possession of Lila's body.
Oooh good point, because I think Desmond is a Machine anyway. Either that, or a ghola (sp?) perhaps. 🤔 So a troublemaker being born of spice could absolutely end up meaning Lila/Dorothea! That's a really great call.
i think so too
Robert Baratheon married to atia 😂
actually robert was her uncle in this show and atia was her mother but i get it
@@laurent4819 Considering Polly Walker's previous genre film and TV credits, it was real surprise to see her in such a small role, but PW is no small actor. I wonder if she has a London theatrical connection to Emily Watson, Olivia Williams or both...
@@denniskristos3800 It's one of those prestige TV cameos that older British actors do. Judi Dench did them for years. "We need a snooty accent and old-fashioned character actor...how about Polly Walker?" is an amazing career-stage to be in. Smith and Atkins did them too.
@@SuperStella1111RIP Smith. She was a true GOAT.
@@SuperStella1111 I truly love that about the Brit actors. Polly Walker is an amazing actress. "There's no small roles, only small actors." And she proves this, you still feel her talented presence in each scene, even when she's glancing at the main characters in the background.
So Lila will have been born twice - once by blood and once by spice. And if Dorotea inhabits Lila .....
Yes! You are right!
I enjoyed the first two episodes a lot more after the third.
same, went back and watched them all together. such a good series
Snoozer
Thanks Pete Peppers. You got me back on track.
Great to see Attia of the Julii in classic form too.
I have a newfound respect for Tula after episode 3 😮
Right
Yeah she has a quiet strength about her 😏
murdered her lover and his group to please her older sister. respect revoked
I literally missed so much of what was apparently the storytelling. For those of us who haven’t read the books, your videos are not just enrichment but kind of compulsory now.
I’ve been following Pete Peppers since I started watching For All Mankind…. I love the way he clears up all of the details. He does the same for a few different shows.
I loved this episode! Especially the ending.
Ep 3 was devastating and brutal. Such affective storytelling, it really left a mark.
It's turning out really good sci-fi I thought this episode was great! Shame there only 3 left even they long episodes
It says that Griffith killed Vorian in Arrakis, when Vorian go native and created a new family in Arrakis, with the Fremen, so there is a very tiny, little possibility that Desmond is Vorian, the weird thing is that the father and the grandfather of the now Emperor didn't tell him about it, in the short stories, the Emperor knows Vorian when he come to court and tell him to go to Arrakis, but Vorian Artreides whereabouts after his fight with Griffith are unknown.
Subscribed. Good eye. Great analysis.
The whale butchering reminded me Obi wan working as a butcher in the desert. Looks like I won't be able to forget that.
I keep thinking about perspectives in time. Like, from Tula's point, she's getting sweet revenge for being wronged. But if you ask whatever is left of any Atreides what tf just happened, they'd say - at best some weird girl just wiped everyone out, and that THEY were wronged for no reason. It wouldn't be clear who she was when folks down the line are telling the tale of the worst bull hunt ever. And if they did put it all together whodunnit with truthsayers, the Atreides will want revenge for the revenge from the revenge which was just revenged. Neither one has any idea the other guys think they're totally outta line.
The match server never looked this cool
It's by far my favorite episode of this series. I really need to get around to watching Silo. Just not enough hours in the day.
thanks for the video
3 more to go Pete! 😱
The irony is that Vorian wanted to correct the record, wanted to clean the name of his decease friend Xander Harknonnen that was marked as a traitor, but after a century of war, a death wife, and a family that despise you, not that Vorian had time to worry about that, he was grieving and was more concerned by winning the war at all cost, by any means necessary, but Abulurd was being an hypocrite, appealing to Vorian humanity when the machines were using humans shields, when they had bombarded Earth into oblivion with nuclear weapons. Abulurd question his orders and trough of the millions of slaves that die that day? No. If Abulurd just had followed the orders that Vorian give him, Vorian could have clean Xander Harkonnen name in history and Abulurd by extension, but he dare to question his order and he didn't see at this point, it was victory or total annihilation by the machines.
I hated the flash backs took up the whole episode. But it’s getting great
Lila died by "blood" when Dorotea killed her after she took the poison. And if she's revived by the spice in the machine, she will have been reborn by spice.
I am a bit surprised that the fact that the sisterhood started with truthsayer sorceresses in planet Rossak is getting ignored...
I would have loved at least to see references to Zufa Cenfa, the first sorceress, and her descendants.
First episode had me a bit worried but after 2 & 3 I have faith now.
They did bring grandpa attreides bull head to the Arrakis throne room or the hall when he poisoned the Baron you could see it on the wall. I thought it was a cool detail, like no way would Leto leave that head behind lol
Tula is the actual raid boss for the Harkonnen, the quiet type that in the background pushes her sister into vocalizing her sister’s malcontent, while Tula is the true brain and does all the dirty work. She might even be the reason her sister developed the voice as an evolutionary way for her to speak for Tula’s true feelings.
You missed the part where Valya accidentally discovered the voice when her brother is drowning.
@@bencrisbuli-e1875 yeah but how was it developed? She didn’t just bam I can do something totally new without having done any work for it, Valya did some sort of training and went through a lot before this. It is the first time she uses the voice to save someone but it doesn’t show how she went about accidentally developing this new technique.
@@vincentb2175 she didn't even think about any of it. She was desperate to save her brother and that's when she shouted at him "to swim." That's why mother raquella said greatness can come from difficulties. Valya didn't even realize she has it. She has little control over it too. it's demonstrated that when she's in extreme emotion, the voice comes out. That's why she said "it's a new skill she's been honing".
@@vincentb2175 I'm pretty sure the idea with how it came about is to drive the point of how difficult times can foster or bring out magnificent things.
More a general comment than about this show or your video. You have a great channel and have a great way of presenting things. I am just as fascinated by the way you present the shows that I have watched than the ones I haven't.
They did a great job choosing actresses for the younger and the older Mother Superior. however what is the deal with the horrible old age makeup of the founder
what a story! holly moly
Notice none of them is wearing whale fur to keep warm. 😄
they're saving it for trade. that's how poor they've gotten
This show was so good I knew I've seen the Reverend mother Cathy Tyson has been in a ton of things. And since they put her in all that heavy makeup to make her look older I hope we get more flashbacks with her..
i really liked this episode. i agree with abu from Gom Jabbar that this episode should have been the second episode so when you see Desmond Hart resist Valya in episode 2 the impact would be that much more. But man, episode 3 got really dark and i really loved it. i love that they are also chopping and changing Brian Herbert's books and jettisoning the stuff about Vorian which, honestly, you're not missing anything.
could that surviving kid be Desmond?
i can't see a reason to show he survived unless he is someone in the present time
he could be kieran's dad
Age would be closer than the sword master IMO
It’s cause we need atreides in the future so some have to survive. We need Paul
@@maciedixon3983 well no, Vorian had a lot (really A LOT) of children... so the Atreides line is secure... :)
What surviving kid? I only saw an animal at the end.
18:42 I think that's her nephew, right? I thought I heard him call her Aunt.
Great show though I can't wait to see what happens. I think Lila comes back but brings Doritea with her and she is the one that we should be worried about. Desmond Hart is a red herring in some way imo. He has power, but he's not the one to be worried about, (maybe).
Isn't it contraintuitive that, considering the original book precisely warned that prophecies were seeded stories to manipulate people, this show focuses in some sort of prophecy?
Furr seals are not deep divers like whales as the fur in water depends on air bubbles to insulate in water. I guess the fur has some hydrological properties in water independent from the isolation that makes the fur valuable.
I was thinking Lyla could be the prophecy since she’s about to reborn with spice and she’s probably going to know all the secrets they have been trying to keep hidden which is going to make her powerful and even more dangerous than Desmond hart
My review of the episode and the series so far:
This episode felt remarkably dull, missing the epic scale that Dune is renowned for. Instead of capturing Frank Herbert's intricate universe, it appears to lean toward a more conventional CW-style production. While the writing isn’t outright terrible, it certainly lacks the depth and richness one would expect from a story as profound as Dune.
Moreover, the portrayal of female characters is particularly disappointing. In the original lore, Bene Gesserit women are depicted as some of the most captivating and powerful figures, capable of manipulating others with their beauty and presence. However, the adaptation fails to convey this, as the female characters appear below-average in attractiveness compared to their male counterparts, who look as if they've stepped straight from a fashion magazine. This disparity undermines the essence of the Bene Gesserit, whose allure is a crucial aspect of their power.
Overall, the adaptation seems to prioritize contemporary sensibilities over Herbert's rich storytelling and character dynamics masterfully crafted in his work.
Best episode. Love it. ❤
Please review Interior Chinatown :)
well marine mamals do have fur so i mean on another planet lol 😂 yeah
1:47 😂😂😂
10,000 years is more time than that has elapsed from the great Egyptian empire to today. How is it that the surnames have survived unchanged? I could see 1000 years but not 10,000 years.
In my head canon I just regard it as a different counting system..... because 10,000 years is just too much time
I would argue that you can't compare these two storylines on equal terms. For example, Dune Prophecy is set 10.000+ years in our future, meaning, if you go back far enough, it would be able to draw a straight line back to Earth and us, even if that has been made difficult by banning thinking machines. And who says all surnames have survived. Atreides and Harkonnen are royal names, such would be very very very, difficult to erase, not precisely the same, but how many kings named Edward, George and Elisabeth, have there not been? You could argue, reusing these names in the lineage of those who would later rule, is a form of passing down, that just because they haven't been around in 10.000 years, still don't have the potential. And remember for much of those 10.000 years, we didn't document and write down things, like we have the last, lets say 500 years, unless you were royalty or exceptionel person.
@ okay concede that point. But if we look through history a family line is very difficult to ensure. Look back at the House of Plantagenet (English monarchy), it was stable for about 300 years until the House of Tudor took over. While I know it’s fictional, it just seems that 10 millennia is a extraordinary long time for any society or family to continue to exist.
It is a culturally stagnant society. They have a stable governing and economic system. And the ruling caste doesn’t want to disrupt the system that largely insulates them from the masses. And there are no outsiders.
you are ignoring the fact its in our future though, we keep records like crazy. Most countries have records dating back hundreds and hundreds of years with things like censuses, marriage records, church records etc. that doesnt include royal families that go back further than that because they only married other royals so their record keeping is even better. In regard to "House of Plantagenet (English monarchy), it was stable for about 300 years until the House of Tudor took over." The Tutors took power because of some VERY savvy political maneuvering by Lady Margaret Beaufort. That situation occurred because of a civil war *within the junior houses of Plantagenets*. The Tudor family could trace their name back to around 1250-1300, if they had any living patrilineal decedents today. The Saxe-Coburg and Gotha family (re-named Windsor because of relations with Germany at the time) can trace their name back to 1450.... Like I would agree that one ruling family (corrino) for 10,000 is absolutely bat shit crazy but record keeping is and always has been important ESPECIALLY for royal families, they loveeeeeeeeee that.
I love both of them being ruthless.
“Whale fur” is unnatural? Dude, let’s talk about “chairdogs.”
Wait, Dune has a TV series? And now is ongoing??
born twice, once ..... , once in spice....
is this maybe layla?
I think Lila is the one born twice...
Question for any Dune experts out there-I thought only the leader of the Bene Gesserit did the water of life ritual to become a Reverend Mother, why did Valya and Dorotea both have to take it? To see who survived?
All the reverend mothers do it to unlock their other memory. They're still using the Rossak poison instead of the Water of Life which is somewhat more dangerous. At this time, no one but Raquella has survived it, and she's looking for someone to take over after she passes away. She's testing them, but more to see if she can trust them with her legacy than to see which one will survive.
@@guyinc0gnito jessica in villeneuve dune part 1 (as well as frank herbert book) took the water of life and became a reverend mother while gaius helen mohiam was still mother superior. only someone from the group of reverend mothers may become mother superior because access to ancestral memories profoundly changes an acolyte.
Some things are illogical in the flashbacks, but still enjoying the show.
You said that Harrow is the cousin of Valya and Tula but he asked how is Aunt Tula.
Did they have an older brother or is he calling them Aunts more as a formality?
The show should’ve hired this channel, paying in advance.
What a boring episode I had a hard time keeping up and fell asleep
So ynez is how old. Sword guy is way older. Pedie most. I mean is she really going to be trained to be a truth seer at 18 or 25. We see that all the sisterhood is children. Same thing with tula sex scene in ep3. Tula was 16 at most. Why am I the only 1 that noticed this
@21:03 😮 🤔 💭... Lila(sic???) thee 1st/OG??? $PACE X-FORCE 🤭 oop$ $PACING GUILD NAVIGATOR saturated with continuous $PICE inside her glass ⚰️ & she mutates from her human form because of this😮!!!??? Ohhh!!! $nappp!!! Planet JUNCTION here we come!!!😅😊
Is Lila the one born twice?
Totally possible. It would be a nice twist.
This episode felt like an old nonscifi movie
thats why raqeulla
had old make up...she wil have a young body again
I don't love the way they are portraying the Atreides clan.
Misinterpret they’re own fabricated prophecy?
I was wondering while watching this episode whether Paul or his mother and sister had a prominent encounter with Valya during their "agony" experience. Technically, Lady Jessica and Alia may not have a female lineage back to her but Paul wouldn't require that. If he did I would bet the look on her face would be akin to the last one she had when she was with Desmond.
Why does it feels so satisfying to imagine 🙂↕
Ep.1 good
Ep.2 average
Ep.3 unwatchable trash
It's Disney Star Wars with a Dune badge.
Thats why revenge is bad the harkonen and atreideis history will tell10 000 year bruhh
this ep was so boring
I was actually pretty bored for some of this episode. The payoff was worth it though.
whale fur?! welfare?
Ep. 3 'A Game of Thrones' was pretty dull. I don't mind the flashbacks, but they needed to aggressively edit them down and improve the overall pacing. Also, am I the only one that feels like most of the bene gesserit seem too normal? The acolytes especially, they just seems like normal girls at a girl school..it just doesn't feel like we're in the Dune universe most of the time. I just think the actors needed much better directing and writing.
They are just normal girls. At this point no one else in the BG uses the voice. So they are mostly just truth sayers.
@@mjisurdad 'They are just normal girls' that's precisely the problem. This is the mysterious, powerful and weird Bene Gesserit we're talking about, their training and the trainees should not look like a bunch of very normal girls at a modern day girl's school /smh. They totally messed up here and they don't even realise it, this is pretty poor writing (and imagination). Don't forget the Dune universe has always been pretty weird, this should be weird on top of being 10,000 years ahead of modern day. There shouldn't be anything 'normal' about these girls, and certainly not the adult Bene Gesserit who also very often just seem like very normal women. It all feels very wrong and mundane .
Isn't that the whole point ,this is their origin story they aren't supposed to be overpowered at this point
@@Lilylily66.26 That's not the problem, it's fine that they're training/learning, but the character direction is all wrong imo. The writing and direction of the characters could have been so much more, instead they're written like normal girls would be on modern day Earth. It's just very plain and lacking imagination, but the writing credits aren't exactly stellar so I guess it's no surprise. My point is, you could pretty much take all of these girls with the same writing, dialogue, directing and plop them into Hogwarts, or a Game of Thrones scene, or a modern day school drama series, and they would fit right in, in a very generic way. We have generic writers, most whom have little to no sci-fi writing experience and probably don't even know much about Dune to begin with, writing generic characters.
Lol. If you don’t like the show then don’t watch it.
Y'all please I need your honest opinion is this series worth it?! Is it very interesting?!
After 3 episodes, I'm throwing in the towel.
Harkonnens now have a sympathetic backstory?
Desmond Hart character is literally the same as Marcus/Caleb in "Raised by Wolves".
10,000 years prior to Dune films and there is literally no difference between both time lines/worlds?
This show isn't going to last more than two seasons tops.
What a waste.
acolytes are never subject to possession. even while going through the agony that opens access to ancestral genetic memory. only a preborn fetus is. the acolyte possession storyline is 💯 brian herbert ridiculous. we learn tula is a good liar. probably good enough to fool truthsayer mother superior valya. we learn valya is not sisterhood above all. and i think tula will ultimately decide valya is too willing to sacrifice sisters and unworthy of leading the sisterhood. only question for me is whether tula has the secret support of other reverend mothers, like mikaela.
Frank Herbert wrote a scene where Leto II and his sister opened themselves to possession. Ghanima almost got lost forever because Chani did not want to leave the body of the child.
This proves that even adults can become abominations.
@WisperArt leto 2 and ghanima were preborn. chani fremen diet so saturated with spice her atreides children were born as abomination, having access to their ancestral memories. leto of course having both male and female line access.
@@dffndjdjd nope. you like brian herbert just need to read franks words a little more carefully. acolytes that fail the agony are killed by the poison. period. all of an acolytes training is centered on surviving the poison and the agony it causes. the only characters in frank herberts books subject to possession were awakened to the memories (of others, of ancestors) while in the womb. before being born. before having the chance to begin making memories of their own. alia, leto2 and ghanima. all acolytes have 20 years of their own memories and can distinguish between their own and "other".
@@gmonorail Oh you're right, I forgot about that. Sorry, I've read the books years ago..

I don't like it at all!! So Now we are supposed to feel bad for the Russian/Harkikans!! You can Tell Women are involved in the writing.. Now they are going to Paint the Atraities as the Bad Guy's When Harkinins were full scumbags!! This show is boring as hell so far... I will never feel bad for the rusiakans.. This is totally stupid.. The best part was when the Vinking dude was like Nah!! Him and the other Bald dude are carrying this show so far!! I'm getting sick of watching the Nuns..
"Bait and switch", "Its Dune"- No, is more woke trash.-
But why on earth are the Harkonins and the Atraidies living too primitive life??!!!
This episode was boring.
I do enjoy the series for showcasing a Dune world audiences have not seen, but I agree it is a very slow moving show. Even dull at some points.
This episode was a let down
It’s unwatchable
Bye Felicia.
@@charleshamilton9274 hard pass
This show is embarrassingly low quality, the acting and pacing is just awful at times. the second episode gave me hope just for this one to be so bad i dont get it.
Filler episode…
Acting was pretty bad
The first episode was OK, but they have to put more woke cra....p.
@@dffndjdjd LMAO the TH-cam comment intellectual damage controlling a boring show by saying it's too smart for the average person.... Check yourself bro, the show isn't that deep lmao.
I wish I could be onboard with this series as a fan of the dune lore but half way through… the writing is so clunky
oh my gosh that episode was complete trash. so so so bad.
A lot of exposition and background was needed for Valya and Tula. But I thought this episode, being almost completely flashbacks, was the weakest of the three episodes so far. How did Tula get on Caladan? Apparently she seduced her Atreides hunk. It's hard for me to believe that the Atreides were so gullible and so primitive when we already have Fremen on Arrakis. I didn't like the whole backstory of Valya and Tula, and I'm now less invested in their characters. Valya's only worth to Raquella was that she was supportive of the breeding program and she had the Voice. That's it. Apparently, that made her worth as much or more than Dorotea, which is something that I don't find realistic. Valya's true allegiance was to her family, which makes both her and Tula beneath the sisterhood, much less Reverend Mothers. Their father is Robert Baratheon no less, who was killed by a wild boar in Game of Thrones. Come on MAX.. This is DUNE for crying out loud, not Game of Thrones, regardless of how much you want it to be. So a wild bull shows up. I get the symbolism, which feels like it's being spoon fed to me. This is so clumsy that it's worthy of the later seasons of Game of Thrones. The best part of this episode was the very end, where Tula went into the secret vault or medical lab, and is about to do something with Lila's body (Ghola?). But that's it.
@@dffndjdjd You have a lot of faith in MAX.
@@dffndjdjd You're massively overrating the writers on this show
@@dffndjdjd I'm not part of any hate parade, don't just arrogantly assume stuff about people that you don't know to try and discredit them because they disagree with your pov. I actually like the show so far (except for ep.3), but the writing in some areas is very weak and severely lacking imagination - a common problem with many writers today. These writers pale in comparison to the likes of Frank Herbert, or any serious and well respect sci-fi novelists, and looking at the writing credits, it's very clear to me why that is. Especially clear in the depiction of the Bene Gesserit trainees, which are laughably bad. I would like to know who's idea it was to even hire these writers, it looks to me like yet another poor decision primarily based on DEI rather than talent and experience in the required genre.
I just can't shake the suspension of disbelief, this show is supposed to be 11k yrs into the future (in our real timeline), less than 100 yrs after the great, galactic war against machines. Yet everything looks like GoT in SW cantina. There's nothing unique about this show visuals and it's downright offensive to the source material.
Saying it as a book fan (inc prequel books).
Show just gets more boring each and every episode
Because they put more woke propaganda in each episode.
@mdgeist8827 oh my God, you woke crusaders are the most exhausting people on the internet. No actual criticism other than "woke propaganda" which means absolutely nothing other than you hate seeing a woman as the lead character in a show about women and their influence in the dune universe. A show that's literally about a women only organization and how they manipulate their way to power. WTF did you think it was gonna be about?
@mdgeist8827 no pretty sure the show is just boring. Nothing to do with woke propaganda or whatever that means. You probably don't even know you're just regurgitating what you heard from some right wing goofball.
@@CursedUglyDevil The whole episode 3 was about the Harkonnen sisters and how they overcame evil, cowardly or weak men and you say it's not woke." There is no worse blind man than he who does not want to see."
@@mdgeist8827 seeing as how it's a show about the bene gesserit, an organization of powerful women who controlled/influenced the entire known universe and started a breeding program which ultimately created a perfect MAN who could do things that they can't .... No I don't see that as woke. They need to step on evil cowardly weak men to achieve their goals I'm sure they'd do the same to women too maybe even in the show were only 3 episodes in...... and definitely over the next 10,000 years until Paul Atreides and then subsequently Leto the god emperor
Women manipulating men for 10000 years until Sarah betrayed the sisterhood and gave Duke Leto a son is the exact reason why the original Dune story with Paul happened you goofball.
The Shows not woke. It's just boring and you have culture war brain rot and don't understand Dune in the slightest.
This episode was dragged out it was shit TV too much exposition is not good story telling and flashbacks suck. Might as well have stated with their origin story like HOTD
All cud b a load of hoo ie
If sarah ferguson cant get back to silo 18
I guess as something of an expositional bottle episode it did its job, but boy was a lot of the writing clunky. I had to suspend my disbelief for half the episode, particularly the scenes with Valya and Akaela (sp?)
What a snooze fest and hot garbage.
