[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.

Hawaii did get them some tax breaks, so they've committed to filming there for the near future, at least.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

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.

[insert something funny here]

I will admit I am positively Squeeing with glee at the idea of Fury being involved with 24's Fifth Season.

Punishingly Intricate

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!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Fury spins a great story, and really understands how the audience loves to follow pebbles through the woods.

Also, he and Tim are like peanut butter and jelly, methinks.

It's just going to work out really well for all involved. Well, except Lost. But then, I'm still convinced no one knows what LOSTzilla is or even remembers that LOSTzilla exists.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

But then, I'm still convinced no one knows what LOSTzilla is or even remembers that LOSTzilla exists.

I think someone knows what it is. I just think it's going to be really lame.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

lisah, 24 starts a new story each season, so the start of next season will be as good a place as any.

Sometimes characters pop in from prior seasons unexpectedly, but they are pretty good about slipping in the back story without being contrived about it (one of their strengths, actually); with a few glaring exceptions like CTU!Spawn.
