7. The Lone Gunmen (2001) Spin-off of The X-Files featuring the trio of computer-hacking conspiracy geeks popularly known as The Lone Gunmen. Like a misguided Mission Impossible team, they embark on a series of comic adventures that simultaneously highlight their genius and ineptitude.

Greetings and welcome to the latest episode of The Dune Saga Podcast Listener Feedback Show.  On this episode we read quite a long list of notes sent in by our listeners, and hear a recording from a loyal listener.  We love hearing from you and whether you agree with us or not, will faithfully read your feedback on our show.  Join us as we wade through comments on Frank Herbert's Dune Messiah, as well as from other episodes.  Thank you to all of you that listen, and to those that make this show possible with your insights!

Here's an idea, let's talk dune with Jesse Destasio Toy Designer, Licensing Agent, and Co-Host of one of YouTube's best toy shows, Toy Pizza. Jesse was kind enough to take some time to talk with David about the toys of Dune. Having his hand on the pulse of the toy design world and a fan of the Dune line himself, Jesse was exactly the right person to fill us in on these collectables. He even shares about a prize of his collection, a one of a kind Dune figure. If you'd like to keep up with Jesse we encourage you to check out the fabulous Toy Pizza on YouTube or follow one of the links below to for a look at his collection and works.

• Toy Pizza on YouTube
• Toy Pizza on Tumblr
• Jesse's Collection on Flckr
• Eerie Theory Entertainment

In this episode of The Dune Saga Podcast, your hosts, David, Scott, and Jim take a closer look at Dune Messiah by Frank Herbert.  We cover the plot from the beginning of the conspiracy to the final act of Paul Muad'Dib walking alone into the desert.  We also give our ratings of this book and the reasons for our likes and dislikes.  Join us for another fun and interesting episode of The Dune Saga Podcast.

Welcome to another edition of Dune In Ten. This time around David brings you the story of Dune Messiah in roughly ten minuets. Great for a refresh if it's been awhile since you've read the book or if you didn't have time to read it and want to listen to the main show. Enjoy!

Welcome to the SciFi Rewind: Firefly

Firefly is an American space western drama television series created by writer and director Joss Whedon, under his Mutant Enemy Productions label. Whedon served as an executive producer, along with Tim Minear. The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things". The show explores the lives of a group of people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and others who now make a living on the outskirts of society, as part of the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In this future, the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today"
