#Inez Corino

RIP, you little shit. You were a surprisingly good kid and to me at least had a lot of story potential.

I assumed with all the talk of Princess Inez taking 10 years to study with the Bene Gesseret, and literally marrying a 9-year-old at the onset of it, we would be relying upon a time jump to some kind of Padmé Naberrie and Anakin Skywalker situation just with more of an enemies-to-lovers angle. (Or, just an enemies angle — I am all for an imperial couple at war with themselves in a sexy manner.) But alas, not gonna be going in that direction. I should have figured with how much the show is clearly shipping her with Kieran. And while going into the film adaptation I was prepared to ship Paul Atreides x Princess Irulan on principle of feeling bad for her in her one-sided marriage (my Theodore Laurence x Amy March anti-shipping dropped it immediately though with the Florence Pugh casting, the triggers😅😂🤣🥲) and a Corino fated to be with an Atreides would have really hooked me, I am just kind of meh so far to their CW sex appeal.

(RIP also Kasha Jinjo…this show already be killing off my faves! At least I still have Tula so far, but damn.)

Anyway, while I expect lesbian ships to flourish on this show as is their right, I think Valya Harkonnen and Desmond Hart should fuck nasty at some point. They are clearly on a collision course towards one another, and a man who can cook people from the inside or across literal space with the woman who honed The Voice…come on. Give us that face-off.

“Don’t let me see you again.”

I am going to need you to see her again, so at least I can salvage some ship from this show😁🥹.

The implication to me at the end of the penultimate episode is that Desmond Hart is the Atreides love child (hate child) of Tula Harkonnen, which would make Desmond then the nephew of Valya. And while I was shipping Daenerys Targaryen x Jon Snow even past the point it was clear in speculation they were going to be revealed to be aunt and nephew, I do not actively chase down those paths in my shipping. If I wanted to GRRM anything in this universe, I would rather at this point Inez x Constantine be a thing as they both annoy me and I need the former away from Keiran Atreides. But of course this is not that kind of galaxy.

So it would seem Keiran x Mikaela is my series (season?) OTP, which is funny as visually they parallel Keiran’s distant descendant Paul with Chani Kynes. With the additional possibility of a love triangle with a Corino princess. Though I do not ship Paul x Chani, and I have already referenced the petty reason I do not go for him with Florence Pugh Princess Irulan😂🤣. I am two episodes behind in weekly posting, and am just fingers crossed this show does not get a cancellation, but of course my main anticipation is the mother-son revelation in the finale. There are too many unpursued threads and lingering thoughts in all of this to cover everything even in last-minute prediction, but I do hope we get a continuation and that both Harkonnen sisters survive to a second season. I anticipated this series would parallel and outdo the Acolyte show in that it would pick off four space monks/nuns along the course of a season in retribution for their past sins, but it seems like Kasha might be the only one who will bite the dust at least any time soon. I do kind of feel as if when Valya does meet her end though, it will be at the hands of Tula for all that she lost to the sisterhood. And I keep having the nagging suspicion that much as with The Penguin and his own two siblings, there might be some further backstory or greater Valya responsibility as to the death of their brother Griffin and not everything is aboveboard in the account of things. And if so then all that Tula willingly sacrificed will have been for naught. I cannot wait for the wreckage that will be me on the other side of this sixth episode (two episodes too short!).
