In which we discuss the SyFy channel’s miniseries which encapsulates the second two of the Dune trilogy by Frank Herbert: Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. Though the production was written, produced, and largely acted by the same people, the clunkily titled Frank Herbert’s Children of Dune was significantly better than it’s predecessor, Frank Herbert’s Dune. Though I think the miniseries isn’t essential viewing for anyone other than Dune stans, it does feature a tiny baby James McAvoy in his first major role, and largely shirtless to boot.
