Piter is addicted to sapho juice in this book, but that is never mentioned in Dune. In Dune he is a spice addict; which of course is never mentioned in House Atreides...
BC wrote:I didn’t buy the house books, so I cannot look this up, but wasn’t this because there was a Piter that was killed, and the Piter of Dune was a replacement (Might have been a PoD thing).
This is why it's so difficult to discuss Frank's book with people like you.
You can't keep the real story straight because of KJA ....
In Dune it is said that it is generally known that Elrood "succumbed to chaumurky", yet in House Atreides they did this unnoticed.

and yet you just did ...
Fixing a crysknife is explained as "keyed to the body of the owner so it would dissolve upon his death" in this book. In Dune "Fixed knives are treated for storage"--Exactly the opposite.
BC wrote:Need more info before I would comment on this.
all the info you need is right there.
or do you think dunaddict is just pumping sunshine up skirts ?
on a board full of Dune Scholars who'd pounce and correct a canon error in a heartbeat ?
If you're going to require a scanned jpeg of every page from Frank's books
to be posted when someone makes a statement of known fact, fuck off. Asshat.
That really just pissed me off.
In GEoD we are told that Duncan had a sister that was killed by the Harkonnens. She's never mentioned in this book when he escapes from the Harkonnens.
BC wrote:I don’t think this is important. If it were important FH would have mentioned it in Dune, and not waited until GEoD.
you COMPLETELY missed the point of this one.
if Keith, the fucking biggest Dune fan in the fucking universe, decided to tell Duncan's
backstory, including the escape from the Harkonnens, and not take into account the
story of the sister, the basis for Duncan's hatred of the Harkonnens, then we will
assume this is because Keith himself didn't remember this detail, because, as with all
these other "little details", he hasn't actually studied Frank's work. Maybe read over
it once or twice, most likey with an eye to what he could exploit.
Keith isn't even a Dune-fan on the level of most pretards. I'd bet YOU'D even
beat him at Dune trivia.
Well, no, but you get my point ...
or you probably don't.
Shaddam is crowned by a priest of Dur. However, Dur was a name given to Leto II in the Scattering, several thousand years later.
It's been noted that the god Abu d' Dhur, "Father of the Indefinite Roads of Time" is mentioned in Dune Messiah, but that is a bit of a stretch.
BC wrote:Yes, you hate this argument, but that could have been something from FH’s notes. It needs more research.
first thing you've EVER said that I could agree with.
not that the priest of Dur bullshit, but that Frank's notes should be available
for research.
Why don't you ask your buddy Keith in his private forum when they are going to
turn over all of Frank's notes in HLP hands to the Fullerton Archive.
(you may need to explain to Keith just what & where the Fullerton Archive is ...)
and I didn't understand what point you're trying to make about Other Memory.
not sure that you did, either.

just read thru Chig's response - he's a little bitchy & unforgiving tonight.
I'm drunk & full of muscle relaxants, so I feel prety good, and while you
pissed me off good once, and most of your answers reveal a serious lack of
understanding of Frank's Dune, I'll give you credit for trying, atleast.
I think the only way you're going to find any peace here is to admit to
the Simon Gambit -
KJA sucks as a real writer, the new Dune books are not
worth more than a quick airport read, they have little to nothing to do
with Frank's book except for some names & places, they're written on an
8th grade reading level, but hey - I like them. I like Star Wars and
Warhammer books, too, I have stacks of comic books in my Mom's basement,
and really don't like to be challenged when I read ....
if you come around here with that attitude, I'd be much more tolerant.
(Chigger won't, he nurses grudges for years.)
