"Frosty", even as editor in chief, has always come across as a bit of a fool. Under his tenureship many of the sites "News" bullitens are in fact closer to click-bait op-ed's designed to "generate discussion" i.e. rile the readership. He also has generally terrible taste in media.
It is of no surprise to see a half-baked thoughtless Bait-tweet spew forth from his account, to then find it evaporate into the ether.
The loss of Fuller I fear will be felt by this show. A great showrunner doesnt just pick great casts, or develop great stories, but adds unique texture and depth to the world they are creating. One can fire pot shots across the Fuller-bow with daft notions of "Well, he hasn't run a show that lasted more than 2 seasons", but each of those shows is full of depth, with unique outlooks, rich world building and all of those little hallmarks that show the creator really is invested in the product.
I would love to see a full-on, unbridled Fuller take on Trek and there is the possibility he has left the bare bones of such for the new showrunners to play with. Will they bring the detail, the texture, the uniqueness of Fuller's world? Who knows. He has handed over to people who have played in his worlds before. But should they be beholden to that now, or strike out on their own with their style. Are we going to get a half 'n half show? I hope not
But at least there is American Gods where STARZ are likely to be far more hands off and allow Fuller/Green full reign of their imagination.
Hugo - prefers to see a wholehearted failure over a half-baked success
