![]() Paul’s twin children are born in this episode. The empire of Paul Atreides has become bloated and arrogant, and many forces plot to diminish its power or overthrow the empire, including the Spacing Gild, Bene Gesserit, Tleilaxu and rebel Fremen who want to see Dune returned to the old ways before Paul Atreides was crowned as emperor. Part one of the miniseries is based on Herbert’s ‘Dune Messiah’ short novel. The series is based on the last two books of Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’ trilogy, ‘Dune Messiah’ and ‘Children of Dune.’ It is a sequel to the 2000 miniseries ‘Frank Herbert’s Dune.’ The first miniseries was good, and an improvement on the 1984 ‘ Dune‘ film, but the sequel has a higher level of drama and intensity. It’s a shame that Syfy cannot produce miniseries of this quality today. My opinion of the best science fiction TV miniseries is 2003’s ‘Children of Dune.’ It was produced by the Sci Fi Channel before it became the Syfy Channel.
