We shared the Tim Cartmell Fremen Combat Analysis episode to a few Dune fan groups on Facebook and Reddit and were pretty surprised by the reactions...not the arguments that we got it all wrong but the comments that this analysis wasn’t necessary. That the Fremen “just did it”. Or that the still suits provided all the protection.  

So we did a producer-less/not gonna edit mini-ep about "reactions to the reactions" of our Tim Cartmell bonus episode re: training to be lethal in the desert environment of Arrakis and knife fighting norms (in general-ish).

We then talk about the HBO Max show focusing on the Bene Gesserit "exclusively" and general talk about expanding on someone else's writing/universe and analyzing books in general.

We also pondered why we didn’t fire up Youtube live and invite friends/guests. 

  VERY curious if anyone finds this interesting or would have wanted us to do Youtube live...

This will NOT replace chapter by chapter analysis it would be it's own fun side episode thing.
