Hey all; an error in audio mixing clipped the end of a couple words in this video - my apologies. What character or topic do you want to explore next?
-
Kind of funny how the ultimate protagonist and hero of the series dies early in the first book.
-
During his 1001st life Duncan opens his first donut shop and so began his quest for true freedom and financial wealth.
-
Idaho is the sole human witness staying across the age-long dreams of the Atreides dinasty
-
Frank Herbert: Over reliance on resources and thinking machines will be the doom of human civilisation, only through the unparalleled humanity of Duncan Idaho can the species hope for a peaceful existence. Brian Herbert: What if he was a cyborg too? That sounds nice.
-
Duncan’s story is of the triumph of morality over cruelty. He is tested again and again, through thousands of years and countless lifetimes, he never submitted to tyranny, never comprised his beliefs. And through through his boundless humanity he saves humanity.
-
Idaho was integral to letos golden path, his honor was attreides honor, and Leto felt this was the best for all humanity.
-
Came here to learn about the back story of Duncan Idaho…. Left absolutely fuckin mind blown.
-
Idaho in Dune: cool warrior gets drunk and ends killing like 20 "behind camera" Idaho in the rest of the books: fcking Neo in the 1000 cycle of Zion
-
Duncan Idaho is so funny, it makes me think of the entire state of Idaho completely filled with Dunkin Donuts
-
Duncan Idaho's point work with the Fremen before full Atreides arrival on Arrakis was kinda glossed over a bit in the first film.
-
Jason Momoa is about to make so much money
-
One of the Ducans led the remainder of the Sardukar in a rebellion...ironic considering how he died the first time.
-
So glad I found this channel. Y'all are up there with Alt Shift X, the Templin Institute, and Quinn's Ideas for my scifi fix. Keep it up!
-
He didn't have 1000 lives, no one knows how many lives he had, he and Siona however had a 1000 sons. That's where GW got the idea for the thousand sons army.
-
''the Duncans'' will always crack me up.
-
Duncan was the true KH. It begs the question that in fact Duncan is the physical manifestation of free will. He's the only one that has in fact defied Prescience.

Idaho escaped while being hunted for sport by Rabban Harkonen. He killed more than one man and left Geidi Prime with the help of a woman who was betrayed by Rabban. He traveled to Caladan. After being dropped off on the southern continent,he crossed the ocean on a fishing boat,and walked half the length of the northern continent to find Duke Paulus and Leto Atreides. Duncan was eight, Leto was fourteen.
-
Think of it in video game terms. Save the final one, the Gholas’ memories at “birth” all went right up until at the death of the original. So that was the base “safe file”. They wouldn’t remember the memories of the gholas that came before them, only that of the original. It wasn’t until the final ghola that he was able to remember ALL the memories of the gholas that came before.

Impressive summation of Idaho, catching the far reaching purpose of his reiterations, a concise self manifestation of the multi lives. Your work helped me pull together the path envisioned by the writer(s) from the beginning. Thanks.
