  • Spice is, without a doubt, one of the key elements from the entirety of the Dune universe. In this video we explore what this substance is, why it is so valuable, how it comes to exist and how it is extracted. Enjoy!!!

    “the spice must flow” and “he who controls the spice, controls the universe.”
    man....i can't wait for the new dune trailer! pls make more dune videos grim

      There's no REAL reason for either line to be in the new version. Both were among the new things added for the David Lynch version.
      I suppose I should then add that the David Lynch version has been incredibly influential, with things like the physical depictions of characters in it coming into the generally accepted version, despite having no roots in any of the books. (Particularly notable are Shaddam IV's neat little beard and the grotesque skin diseases of Baron Vladimir Harkonen, neither of which are mentioned in the book but are commonly included in depictions of both characters in other media following the movie. There's also a whole series of extremely impressive hats that have been designed for the Bene Geserit Reverend Mothers. I don't recall if they're even mentioned as wearing hats in the book, but they have some astonishing headgear in the David Lynch movie and later depictions In fact, while their hats were spectacular for 1984, they aren't a PATCH on what they've worn in more recent versions. The most striking feature of their heads in the David Lynch version is that they're bald as eggs, not even any stubble, while later versions include things like gold caps and huge wings.)

    Great video. I love the Lynch Dune film, but I never agreed with his interpretation of spice operations. The brutality, yes. I always imagined Harkonnen spice operations would be exceedingly brutal, but also exceedingly greedy. Not a grain of Spice wasted. Because of this, I imagined their harvesters would actually be spotless, as anyone leaving with Spice in their garments or on their person would be accused of theft....from the Baron.

    I was about to vote for the Spacing Guild as the next topic, but since you already covered Arrakis and the Spice Melange, it would make more sense to continue with a video on the Sandworms I guess.

    The world of Dune is vast and expands far beyond Dune itself. Exploring the Bene Gesserit will help introduce some of the story of the first book and the wider universe outside of the planet itself.

    Imho the sandworms could be covered at any point prior to Paul Atreides taking his massive dose of Melange. The Bene Gesserit need covering soon to explain Jessica and the breeding programme they had come up with to produce the Quizzatch Hadderach (spelling? Ahhhhh!!). But the Spacing Guild is essential before we move further into the lore. So A. 😎
