Can someone explain the last chapter to me?

The strange farmer couple are actually just robots in disguise. Mothafuckers been empiring up the past 60,000 years past the borders of known space and now they back with a vengeance.

but they're facedancers




get the fuck out of here, Anderson. you are not needed.



remember when Bijaz managed to force the first Duncan Ghola to remember his previous life?

"By the tank in which I grew! It can be done! I shall have my pasts -- all of them. It needs only the right trigger."

and

Marty called after him: "Gather up enough people and you get a big ball of knowledge, Daniel! That's what I'd have told him. And those Bene Gesserit in that ship! I'd have told them how many of them I have. Ever notice how alienated they feel when we peek at them?"




Ahh he- he- hem. May I refer you to F Boy's retarded child's reincarnation and bastardization of his father's enchanting fantasy?

i bought one of the Dune prequels - i forget which - read about half of it and then left it on a park bench in Frankston, for the seagulls to shit on.


Alright, since the obvious has been stated. Let's get a discussion started.

What do you think would have happened with Frank continuing on? What do you think the end goal with the FaceDancers as enemies

Who do you think they would have rezed with the cells in the capsule?

I got a question, if the FaceDancer couple were actually releasing diseases to destroy the Honored Matre, why and why chase them back to the old empire?



i think the last bit is because the face dancers were slaves and they broke free of their chains and were retaliating

the masters were always careful to have total control over them and i think showed signs of serious fear at the thought of them being free

maybe things in the war would start going in reverse or something. up to that point it was all about developing tech to replicate the abilities of navigators and spic and to hide from prescience. with the ultra dancers maybe they would need to go back to some of their old ways somehow

or maube ot was the butleran jihad or whatever the fuck but in reverse. instead of machines ruining everyones shit it would be the boliological weapons they created doing it (viruses plagues and the facedancers)


That's an interesting concept. I know as more and more books went on it became more muddled by what Frank was hoping to achieve by writing them in the first place.

With the first one it was the dangers of letting religious fervor run wild and having humanity reach a new peak.

Probably with the last one it was about the inescapable past, and learning to reconcile with it as gholas and facedancers kept the past from completely fading.

I dunno I'm not very themed or subtext aware.


Well, enhanced face dancers acting independently would surely be threatening. Their numbers were implied to be significantly less than the Honored Matres, but despite that they were routed back into the old empire. I think a big part of their existence would to bring Scytale further into the story.
I have a feeling that Sheeana may have become a worm like Leto, they were alluding to that she was considering it. I'm not sure what could've happened that would influence that kind of decision, though.
