[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 5061170, member: 779"] I certainly don't think that Frank Herbert intended for the Old Couple behind the mysterious Enemy at the end of Chapterhouse Dune to end up being who they were in the last book. I felt that even though Frank Herbert did actually describe the Nullentropy capsule that Scytale had back in Chapterhouse Dune, I don't think it was ever intended that all those Gholas would created. That felt too much like a bad fanfic there. If those last two novels just focused on Murbella, Duncan, Scytale and Sheeana, then it would have felt more like something that Frank Herbert intended. As for the minseries, I felt that one of the most effective scenes in Children of Dune, was one where they showed the Jihad at the beginning, in a scene that was never written in the novels. I think that it will be really difficult to make a movie or miniseries off of God Emperor of Dune, without taking a lot of creative licenses. As I seem to remember most of the novel about Leto II and Moneo just talking, which would not make a good screenplay. [/QUOTE]
