Maybe this is before the Bene Tleilax emerges. That way she could still be a proto-face dancer and female. I'm just guessing though.

I thought it was a great episode. I really want to see what happened with Lila, I thought she was going to become a guild navigator the way that spice tank was set up.

Good point.

And I agree, I thought it was an excellent episode too. I've been reading critic's complaining about the pacing and how there's too much dialogue and not enough action. But that's a very common complaint with shows that have loss of moving parts: the first season is usually slower going. And considering the density of plots and subplots in the Dune universe, it's basically an inevitability. It's all about laying down value for future seasons. How do professional critics not get that?!

Too much dialogue is pretty much the point of a space opera like Dune.
