For me the moment Mac Avoy solidifies the role of Leto the Second is when his grandmother attempts to use the voice on him and he snickers at her. It illustrates his evolution beyond anything the sisterhood or even his grandmother can understand or control. It's the best adapted Dune so far.

I remember watching it when it aired. And James McAvoy's performance was so phenomenal. It wasn't surprising when he later became a big star.

It's such a pivotal point in the story and the music fits perfectly. I actually rewatch that scene on KZread every so often, or I simply listen to the music.

Dune and Children of Dune are FANTASTIC movies. I have them in a playlist. I would love to have seen another mini series for this. James McAvoy did a fantastic job as Leto. It was perfect!!

Glad to see the series getting some love. I greatly enjoyed the dynamic between Leto and Ghanima, the two actors really had chemistry. The soundtrack was awesome as well. I loved the way the series brought out the sorrowful memory of fathers, first when Stilgar greets Lady Jessica with a speech about her dead husband, and later, in the palpable feeling of longing that surrounds the twins growing up without their parents. There's a great scene where Leto and Paul talk on the sand dunes, that really nails the tragedy of the twins.

I thought that making the twins 18 instead of 9 was a stroke of genius. When I’d read _Children,_ I’d had all I could do to picture them as little ones even in my own head. Making them physically on the cusp of adulthood is just so much more intuitive.

Thanks for all of your videos! You’re an awesome interpreter of Frank Herbert’s works - especially for those who have never had a chance to read the original works. I read Dune when I was 15 in 1985 and it changed my perception of science-fiction, as did Foundation. I responded much more to these series than I did with Lord of the Rings, which was what my friends were into. Please keep up the great work! I will definitely check out the Sci-Fi Channel’s work now.

I think McAvoy own that whole series his acting is phenomenal he is one of great actors. If you need evidence of that just see Split.

The change in ownership is also why the Sci-Fi network sabotaged their other sci-fi franchises like BSG, Stargate, and Farscape. Basically, the network went with a very ratings based system for deciding to renew their shows. They would wait until the middle of a season to see how well the ratings were holding up before deciding whether or not to renew a shows. So the showrunners had to deal with a situation where they didn't know if their show was going to continue or end until they had already finished most of the season and they'd only have a few episodes left to either end the show if it was canceled or continue a plot hook for the next season if the show was renewed. That's a big reason why the later seasons of BSG were such a mess. They were setting up plotlines very loosely so that they could quickly end the show in case they got canceled. The last few seasons of SG-1 also got screwed over because the writers had gambled that the network was going to continue the show, that's why they were setting up such a big new enemy with the Ori. They had planned that to be a long story arc. But then the show got canceled and they had to rush everything at the end to set up for the movie to wrap things up.

This is excellent analysis. Thanks for putting to voice what I love and don't love about these two miniseries, which I revisit from time to time!

Happy to see a new generation embrace these really well done adaptations.

I have to agree about James McIvoy. I watched this series when it first came out and was impressed with him in the scene Jessica tries to use Voice on (Leto II). Leto II just laughs as though she were making a joke at first... I knew he would blow up one day. And he sure did.

Have been watching your videos since learning of the Dune 2020 movie. I first read Dune when I was 11, at that age I was mesmerized by the detail and the story. I could only imagine and dream I was Paul riding on the back of a great worm. I enjoy your videos and your insights into the Dune universe. Keep them coming until sand covers us all.

I saw both when they originally came out on tv. Loved them. Still do. I watch them every now and then to show how awesome the stories are to my friends. I loved the books growing up

Still one of my fav mini series ever. Acting and costumes were marked better than the first. The music is some of the best scores anywhere.

Out of the two Sci-Fi Channel productions this was my favorite. McAvoy was absolutely brilliant in the role of Leto II.

Great job Quinn and thanks for the info. Some how I missed this mini series when it was on originally but am going to go search it out and watch now!

Dude, your channel is so enjoyable. Thank you for the content.

One of us had to accept the agony, and he was always the stronger. ... In time there may be love, which is more than my brother will have." I loved this series because of its foreshadow to God Emperor of Dune and the great sacrifice Leto II must make to ensure the Golden Path. He will not just suffer, but will embed himself in the genes and psyche of all mankind to ensure a future free of the prophets words, the tyrants grasp and future predetermined. A future where humans make their own story from one moment to the next. Very few characters in fiction can illicit so many feelings as Leto II. Hope, hatred, gratitude, grief, pity etc.

HEY, I call him MY BOY MCAVOY!! =P ☺

Children of Dune also spawned some AMAZING music that was used widely beyond the mini series itself. Inama Nushif is simply beautiful.

You just felt how much the twins loved each other. They were delightful. I really enjoyed this production.

Thank you for bringing THIS TO LIGHT I LOVE BOTH MOVIES

Pardon the pun, but instead of Quinn's Ideas, have you considered calling your channel "Quinnsights"? Just a thought.

Even Quinn's Insights is better

The music... was equally as good to this as McEvoy's acting

Thanks for all of your videos. Roll on the new film

This is one of my favorite movies growing up, and one of the best the SyFy channel made

do not forget the music! "Inama Nushif" is still one of the best themes. I am glad they made the twins older, I think it would have made the series too comedic looking to have Leto zooming and fighting Alia and the guards. As much as I love Blade Runner 2049, I do not think that the new Dune movie will be properly brought to life. The Dune series should be a long series on a stream service, with today's effects and bigger budgets.

I feel Dune-sandworms of Dune should be movies ranging between a one part or two parter depending on the book. (Messiah, and god emperor could be 2hr 30min easy while keeping true to the books) while the BH KJA novels can be a game of thrones style series. Which I feel, if done right, would be excellent additions to the franchise. I felt that the reason why the later books weren’t as well received was because of the writing style. But with the director in charge, I feel like everything could flow nicely

I wish they had continued with the series and counted on that lady Azam Ali again, to sing a theme inspired by Sheeana in Heretics. It would have been equally nice! I agree with you about the twins as well. In addition I doubt that two nine-year-old children could understand the pre-born twins and play them.

Zannai Face Dancer I feel they could, the main problem is more risqué elements, like Alia’s naked training when she’s supposed to be like 14. I feel that if you really want to do justice to the dune or song of ice and fire books, it needs to be animated. In both series, the kid’s ages play a big part. Animated would allow it to look cooler, and have more accurate characters.

That's an interesting idea, weird, but interesting. Anyway an actress in her early 20s could play Alia in that scene and there would be no problem. Alia is supposed to be 16 if I'm not wrong. As an amateur theater actress I played some teen characters when I was already 22 or 23 and looked the part quite well with simple makeup. Just imagine what they could do. Anyway an animated Dune or ASOIAF adaptation would be great and would do them justice.

I started reading The Dune series when was 7 years old. And from then on, whenever a new book ij tne original Dune series came out I was one of the first people to check the series out. It was like that with many of the sci-fi series at the local public library and at used book stores also. I was an avid reader, reading was my of escape from the vagaries of life and having 4 younger siblings. They all knew that once Impicked up a book, there wasn't any way they could get my attention short of having a fire in the house.

The first time I saw James McAvoy was in Children of Dune, I remember thinking then that this guy is a talented actor, he will go far, great to see he has.

How insane would it be to try and make The God Emperor of Dune a multi movie adaptation or mini series?

Honestly, God Emperor is so nuts, I feel like you could have Lynch do a miniseries of it. You’d almost have to.

Amazing mini series. I cannot talk enough about the music score and how it elevated the entire story.

Sometimes, when I'm waiting in line at the grocery store, I use The Voice to yell, "Behold me family!"

If I remember correctly, the twins were 10 in the book, but since watching Children of Dune, I’ve pictured the twins as their older selves.

I am such a Children of Dune stan. It’s SO good and the soundtrack is 🔥

I still sing the praises of the SyFy Children of Dune series as the most faithful adaptation. I’m so glad you reviewed it.

I absolutely agree, it’s the a tremendous pleasure to watch! The actors are just all on point!

Children of dune is so amazing Frank would be proud. Long live the fighters

They should have gotten James back for a role in the new Dune.

This series was great and this is when I became a fan of James McAvoy. Wish this series is available for download or even streaming.

*SPOILERS BELOW* Paul's death to the mob in the mini series hit me hard when I watched this as a kid. I'd been introduced to Dune through the fever dream that was Lynchs adaptation and didnt read the books until after watching both the movie and Children mini series. As a kid I fully bought into the Muad'dib is the Messiah message Lynch shoved down our throats. I think I actually cried out Maud'dib as an adolescent -.- I'm glad SciFi did the mini series. The casting for Leto was sublime.

Did i just dream this? If i did, then why the F didn't the writer write such a cool plot in? I have to watch these films again lol.

Considering it's a TV miniseries, the quality is exceptional. MacAvoy was exceptional and Krige was her regular top-notch actress.

I remember watching this mini series as a thirteen year old when it aired! It was what actually brought me to Dune cause they showed trailers and promos basically in every commercial here in Germany and it looked so cool back then! The series was also what made me realize Paul isn‘t a/the hero of the story, which the Dune movie from the 80‘s and SyFy‘s first Dune mini series kind of let you believe

It was a goodie for sure. I watched it air live on the big tv on campus. Blown away. Had no idea MacAvoy would become so big ... kinda forgot he was in it ... but I do remember how well he pulled off the most complex character probably that I know of in science fiction

A shame what happened to the Scifi channel. The same happened to the Discovery channel and History channel. They all just started showing reality TV garbage that more often than not had no relation to the channels name. Love your content by the way. Thank you for making these great videos.
