 jp> Even though I've never finished the book, I kind of grew up on Dune. My
 jp> older brother was a huge sci-fi nerd when he was a teenager and recorded
 jp> a copy of the (at the time, very rare) broadcast version of the 1984
 jp> Dune and used to absolutely wear that VHS tape out. We later watched the
 jp> Sci-fi Channel mini-series when it came out too. The new movies are
 jp> great, and I had a similar experience with my SO. She knew nothing about
 jp> Dune and really dug it. Same with lots of other people I know. Fantastic
 jp> movies! I'm hoping the third movie they're apparently working on is more
 jp> of the same, and it'll take the story to places that are entirely
 jp> unfamiliar to me to boot.

SPOILER ALERT!!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THESE MOVIES!!!!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

How did you feel about the ending? I feel like Paul's character arc happened kinda suddenly and didn't feel super believable. Almost like it was crammed in at the end in a somewhat bogus way. It reminded me of the Khaleesi arc in the final episodes of that horrible show Game of Thrones :P
