And I agree, I thought it was an excellent episode too. I’ve been reading critic’s complaining about the pacing and how there’s too much dialogue and not enough action. But that’s a very common complaint with shows that have loss of moving parts: the first season is usually slower going. And considering the density of plots and subplots in the Dune universe, it’s basically an inevitability. It’s all about laying down value for future seasons. How do professional critics not get that?!
Good point.

Too much dialogue is pretty much the point of a space opera like Dune.
