Well, he's like a billion years old and is actually a grumpy old hermit

ENTERPRISE WAS GREAT.

Except as EP. And is willing to return in a more hands-on role when he has more free time in future seasons.

Nothing about the concept of the show has changed with Fuller's departure. Fuller just left as the major creative force after designed the show's premise and ideas- he's still on the show as EP. He even still seems to have screenplay credit for the first episode from what I can find.

It's mostly a reaction to how alien Star Trek wasn't. Prosthetics and CGI have advanced a ton since the 80s/90s (and way, way beyond the 'paint people green' of the 60s) so why not diversify the aliens?

More than name, the entire thing is still based on his ideas and concepts.

The Prime Universe is the original one. Everythign not set in the Abrams-verse (The Kelvin Timeline)

It's set in the Prime Universe. The problem with doing old footage is they've apparently decided to completely reject the aesthetic of TOS. Which I understand, this does look like a natural evolution from the Enterprise era than TOS did and much more like the actual future than the 60s did but…it still makes my little…

As much as I'm against "CGI magic to include Leonard Nimoy" on principle, it would be weird to have Sarek in this show but no Spock at all. Should probably just get Quinto instead, tho.

I think SNP is going to go with Labour if they have to go with somebody. The Scottish Tories have made their resistance to independence very explicit in addition to Brexit, whereas at least Labour has some common goals even if independence isn't among them.

Well that's the thing. They've made both statements now. They're awful. Any decision they make is gonna be completely on the basis of pragmatic pursuit of power.

They were. But they've also campaigned this election on the promise that they won't make a coalition with Labour and that they can beat Corbyn. But they've also campaigned that they're the only good option to defeat the Tories. They have no focus at all, they just really want some scrap of power. And since it…

You expect LD to actually make a government with Labour? The entire election they've been playing all sides, desperate for any seat they can get, completely agnostic of any sort of meaningful politics. They'll go with whoever wants them.

My first impulse was to explain why Bill Maher is a topic while Louis CK isn't because we are a species that exists in linear time and not all things occur simultaneously because I am a rational human being who understands this. My second impulse was "fuck Louis CK anyway tho if we have to bring him up." I don't give…

Yes. Okay. You are capable of reading in a linear order to eventually find the part where I say "fuck Louis CK." You are free to continue your quest to defend the poor offensive white dudes of the world. The silent few who cannot speak for themselves.

What exactly does Louis CK contribute to "the left"? What is he doing that's deeply important and needs to be protected. Yeah, the left has a problem, but it doesn't matter if someone is "the left" in name only and generally doesn't do anything worthwhile. Bernie Sanders can go literally roast Louis CK over a spit and…

I'm looking at my original response right now. I have not edited it. My original response literally says "fuck Louis CK"

I feel like you're pushing me to defend Louis CK and I feel like I've made it pretty clear my response is fuck Louis CK? Literally all his use of the words have done is made Reddit edgelords emboldened to use it themselves. That's like 95% of the context I ever see CK referenced in. So fuck that dude?

My argument is CK didn't do it in 2017 so whining about 'selective outrage' is deeply stupid because people are outraged about a current event.

That bit was from 10 years ago. I'm not sure he could get away with that bit today. And, as it is, he sort of took himself to task on his own show for it. Not terribly explicitly and honestly, fuck Louis CK? But it's not a terribly apples to apples scenario you're presenting here.
