Frank Herbert's Dune - The Dom Reviews

The Dom talks about how the Dune mini series stands up as a TV show, as a Adaption of Frank Herbert's novel, as a follow up the 1984 David Lynch movie and as a precursor to the upcoming movie.

If there was ever a science fiction epic in which adding interpretive dance made sense it's DUNE.

Considering the power of the spacing guild had I am kinda surprised he didn't make the whole room do that dance

Has the Dom watched JODOROWSKY'S DUNE? I'd love to see a video on that.

Dom, the answer to your doubts about where does the oxygen come from on a desert planet, here's an excerpt from "Dune"'s Appendix A, The Ecology of Dune: "Even Shai-hulud had a place in the charts. (...) But his inner digestive "factory", with its enormous concentrations of aldehydes and acids, was a giant source of oxygen. A medium worm (about 200 meters long) discharged into the atmosphere as much oxygen as ten square kilometers of green-growing photosynthesis surface." You're welcome :)

There were also a couple passages in the original Dune book itself that clued that it was the sandworms that created oxygen. There are also some plants at the lower latitudes. I asked this question and got a great answer with these quotes at <a href="http://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/154462/13217" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://scifi.stackexchange.com/q/154462/13217</a>
