2006 April 22, Andrew Wheeler, “Re: Hunters of Dune - everybody is back from the dead, links to Earth?”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet):And all the Fans of Dune (the Novel) I know in real life have always agreed with me that the mini-series was much better than the movie in portaying^([sic]) the Duneverse.
