The poster makes it sound like Professor Mirecki isn't teaching at the university anymore. TFA states that he is; he only stepped down from his position as dept. chair.
Sadly, a lot of research-oriented places (especially in the US Federal Govt) that use Unix-based systems are still using the bane of the web-designers existence, Navigator 4.x. So unfortunately, old NS is not dead yet.
Up through God Emperor Herbert is continuing the story of Muad'Dib - what with the Golden Path and the transformation of society. The end of Dune Messiah leaves too big of a loose end (the children) to be considered a good breaking point for a story - the original is the only one that really stands on its own.
After God Emperor, save for Duncan we lose the original characters, but Heretics in my opinion is one of the more interesting Dune stories, due to Herbert's treatment of sex and its place in society.
Insurrection the best odd-numbered movie?? I'm sorry, but any Star Trek movie with boob and pimple jokes is automatically at the bottom of the pile. Both ST: The Motion Picture and ST: III beat it, easily.

James Warner as Irenicus in Baldur's Gate 2.
Errr.. that's David Warner. As in Klingon Chancellor Gorkon from ST VI or the scientist guy from the second TMNT movie.
Bill borrowed Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field
