Clocking in at nearly an hour and a half, the final episode of Dune: Prophecy Season 1 was its own miniature movie. And in all likelihood, even if you were a little iffy on the show before this, any rational person has to admit that in its massive finale, Prophecy very much stuck the landing. The ending of Season 1 very neatly sets up Season 2, but there’s every reason to believe the future of the show — and by extension, the future of Dune — will be completely different going forward.
Here’s how the last episode of Dune: Prophecy Season 1, “The High-Handed Enemy” explained certain plot details, referenced some deep cuts from the books, and prepares us for an entirely different Season 2. Spoilers ahead.
