Re: The OotS thread
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.
It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

Pure unconverted spice kills anyone who's not Bene Gesserit or the Kwisatz Haderach, if I remember correctly.

Re: The OotS thread
Exactly. Which is why Belkar MUST be the Kwisatz Haderach, since he is quite obviously not femaleCaptainChewbacca wrote:Pure unconverted spice kills anyone who's not Bene Gesserit or the Kwisatz Haderach, if I remember correctly.

Re: The OotS thread
Going by the later novels, that's "a Kwizatz Haderach," not "the Kwisatz Haderach."

Reference to a reference...nicely done, even if Elan did screw up the quote a little.

Is it just me, or did Roy just imitate Michael Jordan's "tongue-out-while-jumping" shtick?

Re: The OotS thread
Anyone get the feeling the Belkar prophecy may be the self-fulfilling kinda rather than proper Dragon Oracle magic? I mean Roy's now showing little regard for Belkar's safety at all. So If he does bite it could be part of an easily avoidable and risky scheme the gang cook up.

Actually it's the "water of life" which does this. The Water of Life being spice essence placed in water to make a deadly poison.CaptainChewbacca wrote:Pure unconverted spice kills anyone who's not Bene Gesserit or the Kwisatz Haderach, if I remember correctly.
Pure spice doesnt do anything except make you feel good. And turn you blue eyed.

Rooting for the Baron? That's a new low for Belkar. .

So that's why they keep him around. It's good to see him being useful, though he could still stand to put a few more points into Int...or would that be Wis? He's been shown to be good at quipping before, so presumably he's not THAT dumb, just easily distracted.
