Acriku Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 In the movie when they attacked it was night. Not sure about in the books though. LoL and A.M. is ante meridiem (before noon) but close enough, and you are sleepy so :). As for the blindness, I recall that the only thing that could blind the Fremen was radiation (e.g. atomics), and then they were cast off to die by Shai-Hulud or something.. And for sure genetic mutations (i.e. diseases) occurred over time, maybe they are just not reported - didn't Otheym have a disease of some sort in Dune Messiah?

Mahdi Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Fremen could go blind jsut like any other human.Jsut becasue you live in a desert doesn't mean that the sun is so bright it will blind you, otherwise a large chunk of the African population would be blind.Also, Fremen stain the skin beneatht here eyes (like baseball players used to use zinc) and they also travel mostly during the night.As for it being to hot, at night deserts are as cold as they are hot.
