         A  Kangaroo - Rat seems to be a major figure ( in the plot line ) .  Not only is he under surveilence from the creature council, but also is a figure behind 'patches', Lorenda's various plotlines, and what of all that nasty military  equipment in his place . What the council doesn't know can hurt them .  Seems that if they try to put the pressure on him, he can pack a punch if needed  Also, what would happen if attack Death bringers were sent out in packs like with the mows ? Agast !

well, here's a fun fact
These little guys

are the mascots to The British 7th Armored Division known also as "the desert rats" so they do have a distinction in battle  :P

Er... no, if you follow the link to the Army unit, it mentions that the shoulder patch is actually a jerboa (a local North African critter), not a kangaroo rat (a North American critter). The two look alike only because of convergent evolution — they live in similar environments.

No. They're just there for the cable and poptarts.

But you don't know that the Cabel box and the foil of the poptarts can be used as an advance signalner I saw those with my aluminum hat I tell you  :B.

        Any of you lot ever see the 1960's Movie 'The Mouse that Roared', with Peter Sellers, Peter Sellers, and Peter Sellers ?
Follow that plot thru with Jyrras in mind ...

Well, yes, I can see that working quite well... but who would take the part of Peter Sellers?   ;)

Very nice, but I thought Muad'Dib was Mickey Mouse?

Bleh, been ages since I've seen the Lynch version, thought that woman was supposed to be Lady Jessica.

oh... good... I saw "blued up" and  panicked. Alright no reason to panic here. I am not the Maud'Dib you were looking for...

         Yes, Jyrras as Muad'Dib, spaced out on spice, and riding a sand worm, a leader to all . Also , remember , all the mental powers that Maud'Dib had ? ( isn't everyone a bit mental ? ) But what would Amber do with this ? Apart from his adaptive genius in making things , ( still suits now ? ) , where do you find a working still suit on me-bay ?

         Bye the way, what is it with his fear of family, remember , " I must not fear, fear is the little death ...   " , or is that not applicable to embarresing family or social occasions ?

I don't think I'd want to buy a used stillsuit.

I don't  know if Jyrras knows the litany.  Abel does, though.

          I hope everyone notices that in the cast page, Jyrras has very blue eyes . A sign of the spice, maybe ? Also, if he needs an idiot hero friend to help out,  remember, Dan is an Adventurer . Almost perfect for the part . Also, can Dan shape shift to make himself less conspicious ? I wonder ?

You know, there's a difference between having stupid speculation for fun and taking stupid speculation seriously.  I'm still in the former.

I think Dan is more fit for the part of Muad'Dib--he's the one with prophecies surrounding him and he's the one with otherworldly powers, and Dan is the one that they can't see.

I'm not sure what part the idiot hero friend is.  Duncan Idaho wasn't stupid, and though I can see a little bit of that in Gurney, he wasn't with Muad'Dib for most of the plot.

bye the way, if you ever watched Dune, the mother gives birth to an undersized girl due to spice and other reasons, then odds are Jyrras's mother comes up with one in her pregnancy. (thought I'd forgot that ) , and so Jyrras will no longer be the baby of the family .

Wow, people really seem to enjoy the whole Jy-Jy as Paul Atredies.

Honestly, I only mentioned it since the paragraph describing the Muad'Dib, the animal, is pretty much the North American Kangaroo Rat.
