Ocipital, I don't know if Kristen will see it here, but she runs timminear.net, and can be trusted to have all her facts right, and is probably one of the best people (outside the Minear himself) to straighten things up for you.

Okay, lemme 'splain...no, there is too much. Lemme link to the original TMnet bio.

ETA: Also, the reason that I don't have specific episodes to credit for some of these shows is because, well, they didn't have fansites with writer information when I first compiled the list. I dimly recall that Tim was going to take a look at the filmography section and get back to me but then he got busy. And pretty much stayed that way for the next five years.

Thanks Kristen,

So the psyedonym thing is true, though i still cant see it being Chris Baena (though it does sort of sound like Tim Minear if you distort your voice), not if he left half way through the second season, unless other writers decided to keep this psydonym going.

Guess Two and Ghost stories are bogus entries, wont mention them then.

Okay, I've tried to respond to this twice now but my pc keeps freaking out. I think it's the rain's fault.

Anyway, Tim confirmed the facts in that bio prior to my posting it on the site. So I think that the pseudonym listed is probably the correct one.

Unless it's under the pseudonym that he was convicted of a felony. Hmmmm...

I have no idea if they're bogus or not. I've never heard them mentioned before and they weren't included in his IMDB listing 4 to 5-ish years ago.

I've not come across them mentioned anywhere, I guess they could be stuff he did freelance whilst settling in to L&C and teh X-Files, but both those sites have had incorrect info up before, US.IMDB credits Fury as writing the pilot for Ball and Chain in 2001, which im certain Howard Gordon wrote.

Ocipital, if you put a > mark before a quote, it indents the quoted paragraph so we know you are quoting.

IIRC, Fury did a rewrite on the pilot.

I did, I also had a whole other paragraph that has disapeared. Doesnt matter now.

IIRC, Fury did a rewrite on the pilot.

Now that I didnt know, guess variety and the biz mags missed it but got the fact that Gordon was writing it, which US.IMDB missed. Whilst the buffy and Fury fans were doubtless more aware of Fury's involvement than Gordons, and it ended up on US.IMDB.

Question, would Fury have left Buffy for B&C, cos I really would have missed his Angel episodes. (Not much good left with Buffy after s5, imo, for any writer, save Joss and Goddard)

Ocipital ... FYI, ImDb is a user updated site. Updates/corrections/deletions/new entries/etc have to be approved by the admin before appearing but they're mostly made by users. In other words, take some of what you read with a pinch of salt.

I'm certain Fury would have left for B & C, he would have been a showrunner.
