I'd utterly forgotten about the Guild-established calendar. Shows how long it's been since I read any of 'em. :o I don't know how much credence anyone places on the Frank Herbert voice-over for the longer cut of the movie (that got replaced by Virginia Madsen's version for the theatrical cut when he died), but in there it says the Jihad started in the year 6041. That's what I was basing my estimate on. So Dune is set some 14,230 years from now. Wacky... --Jonah P.S. My biggest gripes about the miniseries are bad casting (William Hurt as Leto???), bad acting (Paul and Gurney are supposed to be tight friends, so what's with this strained tolerance?), and the perpetuation of unflapping 'thopters. But the worst offender is the frikkin' Eyes of Ibad -- THEY DON'T GLOW, DAMMIT!!! P.P.S. I loved the Sardaukar, though... [/QB][/QUOTE]
