Aes Sedai - Blog Posts

Okay but I've been thinking about this more, about how the Aes Sedai are so similar to the bene gesserit.

It is so amazing to me all the media that has taken inspiration from dune so directly

Now I have not read the books, and do not know in what ways the show diverges from the source material

But I got to say, the wheel of time season finale was a play by play of dune (of which I have read)

Like, the foretold chief of a desert people, who was not raised amongst those people, yet swiftly learns their ways, who can wield great powers and see the history of that people, and brings water to the desert

That IS Paul Muad'dib Atreides

"Just a bunch of women in their 40s and 50s shredding each other, and it is wonderful to behold." - showrunner Rafe Judkins on the opening of The Wheel of Time season 3
