Being on a hot show is great, but it's not the be all and end all.
'The Message'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I really can't see why someone would bail out of the hot new thing where they've been getting major kudos for the tired 24 if they were happy.
I can think of a few reasons. Maybe he will have more input into the season arc at 24. Maybe he has a story in his head that will make 24 really sing. Maybe 24 will give him more time to work on The Inside than Lost would have. Maybe the "Don't" room made him. There are always a million reaons to jump ship.

Uh oh, Fury's been talking to the hand again.
Hawaii did get them some tax breaks, so they've committed to filming there for the near future, at least.
Interview with DDK and a piece about Lost numerology.
I think it's a great move for him. And LOST's loss.
I really hope so. And overnight, I've been thinking about it, and it probably is. With the Inside, of course, he gets to work with a fantastic team, one he mostly already knows and loves and works well with. The problem with a mainstream show like Lost is that is has mainstream limitations. There are going to be stories that can't be told there, just because of its own success. I can't speak to 24 as I haven't been watching that in a while, but I'm sure Fury knows his own mind and his own happiness and I know he'll be great on 24, too.
About Lost, yeah, it's definitely their loss. And I must say, it lessens my amount of hope/trust/etc. in their storytelling. I'm hoping that Fury didn't leave out of some problem with the writing process (like, for purely hypothetical example, that no one has any idea what's going to happen) because Fury is certainly a part of why I was watching and enjoying Lost.
Anyway, best of luck to him.
What Liese said. Also, if 24 includes working with old friends, I can see the appeal a lot more.
Speaking selfishly, I watch Lost, 24, and will watch The Inside, so... I win! Well, OK, Fury wins. But I benefit. He gave me the best of one show so far, and now he'll be on two shows I watch instead of just one. Yay for me. And I'm assuming a positive draw for the move, so yay for him. Thus ends my speculation, which really isn't.
So, I'm sort of hoping Boone buys it tonight, but I don't think he will. Although, I think I liked him as much as I have all season in last week's ep, though I can't remember why, exactly.
I will admit I am positively Squeeing with glee at the idea of Fury being involved with 24's Fifth Season.
I have never watched 24 because I didn't catch the first season and didn't think I could really get into it after that. And have been too lazy to get the DVDs. I've been thinking I should start watching for no other reason than to support Mary Lynn Rajskub who I knew back when I lived in SF. And now with Fury there...I may have to catch up over the summer.
Am also sad he'll be gone from Lost. And very excited he'll be involved with the Inside!
