Robert Jordan is dead. We'll never know what happens. I quit after book seven so the ending of the series doesn't really matter to me. I'm gonna chell out his conan books someday though.

Surely he left notes and stuff so someone can piece it together.

Will it be Hunters of Dune all over again?

Rama · « **Reply #3 on:** Sep 17, 2007, 11:45:08 PM »

I read that. I have my doubts that the old man and woman where ever intended to be Evermind and Eramus. Just a lame way to legitimize Brian Herbert’s DUNE books. Not that I much cared for anything after Children of Dune anyway.

I would put a spoiler tag on that, but I think everyone that was going to read them at this board, has already.

Pretty much.

**has never read Dune**

ChelseySuzie · « **Reply #6 on:** Sep 18, 2007, 02:25:23 PM »

Never read it.

Dune is an amazing novel. My favorite of all time. But they get worse as they go on. Dune should have never had sequels.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #8 on:** Sep 18, 2007, 03:51:34 PM »

Agreed. My interest went into the desert with Paul.

IDE · « **Reply #9 on:** Sep 18, 2007, 10:49:03 PM »

And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach!

Just thinking about that part of the movie gets me fired up, never read the books.

Rama · « **Reply #10 on:** Sep 19, 2007, 02:15:58 AM »

Well....I hate to be buzzkill, but that whole raining on Arakis bit never happened in the book.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 19, 2007, 01:28:13 PM »

Think of all the worms that would have drowned and how much water would have been changed - the party would still be going on.

IDE · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 19, 2007, 01:30:26 PM »

Does it never rain on arakis? I thought it had to rain in the desert sometimes or else where the hell do a-rabs get their water.

Bernie AKA · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 19, 2007, 01:34:41 PM »

Rama, take his water for the tribe. Since it's probably already 90 proof, put it in the mixer cistern.

They get most of their water from devices called "Windtraps" and there is frozen ice on the poles. But it never rains on Arakis.

Oh yeah....they drink the water of the dead too. IDE contained 90 litters of the tribes water....and it smells funny.

Except for me, dick bitch.
Altough anything 2 years or older is fair game in my book, so whatever.

Not my fault you read at a 4th grade level. Be mad at the system, not me.

Derrick · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 04:35:33 PM »

Who is Robert Jordan?

IDE · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 05:36:17 PM »

A guy who when you buy his book gives you your money worth if you go by number of pages.

Derrick · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 05:57:37 PM »

I see, he's a tolkien ripoff.

I read too many books to even start with those, not that they interest me ever.

IDE · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 06:10:44 PM »

His world is pretty different from LOTR but more or less yeah. And from his writings I think he liked being tied up by women.

Rama · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 10:03:53 PM »

Like Ian Fleming was a closet homosexual. That's my theory at least.

The medal goes to Mr. Energon for most consecutive burns to a recently dead guy!

Yeah I launched a smear campaign just a few hours post mortem on like 3 different boards.

I can only hope the rest of said caipaign was exacuted as shit-fucingly smoothly.
