Forum Overview :: Dead Trees :: The second and third books are alright. Stop reading after that.

[quote name="Entropy Stew"]I don't get the DBZ comparison at all; I thought it was adequately explained as an evolutionary pressure thing. The Sardaukar come from the imperial prison planet. You don't don't stay alive there long without being some level of a motherfucker, and only the noted motherfuckers are inducted as Sardaukar. This is before they've even undergone any military training. Same thing with the Fremen - the desert sieves out the weaklings through generation after generation so you're left with Larrys. Add training in the Bene Gesserit Weirding Way and you just make them more potent. -/ES/-[/quote]
