From what I hear Javier is a really nice guy, and very fan-friendly.
Yeah, so is Fury. But i think he stepped in it in the interview, shouldn't have said what he did.
Fury was let go from LOST at the end of the season and is now on 24.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?
'Selfless'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR

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

Javier's LJ name is chaodai, and oddly, it looks like the comments have all disappeared.
It's a public LJ, he posts the name to sites and such, so I think everyone is welcome to flist and such.

What is even happening?

That's pretty authentic Fury--and one of the things I like about him. I've been thinking about him, because we just watched Crush, the other night. I smiled and could see Fury's face, when Buffy gave Spike the women-marrying-serial-killer analogy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
why was Fury fired/let go from "Lost?"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
You know, that's a really healthy attitude.
Yeah, it's about the only thing I can thank Chris Carter for at this point.
That, and knowing it's OK to let go when the ride stops being fun.
I wouldn't even say I'm still bitter about the X-Files, but unfortunately learning the hard way ended up doing a LOT of retroactive tainting that I wish hadn't happened.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Concur, that knowing in advance that there is no plan is the way to go. That way, it is all about the journey, and the destination stops mattering.
One rung below that is the level on which I watch Alias, which is, pretty people, swanning about excitingly, sometimes with angst. That is basic plate-spinning, which is lesser pleasure for me, viewing-wise, than either journey or destination.
My X-Files bitterness is somewhat muted by the understanding, garnered much later (or recovered, like a lost memory), that individual episodes are so lovely -- strongly scripted, or well-edited, or with that distinctive cinematography. I showed Ellen S. the episode "Die Hand Die Verletzt" a couple years ago, and was like oh yes, that is why I loved that show.
Not just that Dan Butler got eaten by a giant snake, and was part of a devil-worshipping student council, but because Dan Butler was a devil-worshipper, whose daughter was made a scapegoat, and suddenly couldn't stomach it all and blurted the truth, tearfully, in the dead girl's memory. And then got eaten by a giant snake, because in the X-Files universe, everyone is punished, and the penitent guilty in equal measure with the unpenitent.

Does Fury say other stuff in that article? Because that's the same bit I've seen elsewhere, and I still don't get what's so horrible about what he's saying. It's a big deal only because they've made it one. Javier's absolutely right that what Fury describes is perfectly normal for television. So why are they hurt & betrayed?
I think this was a much dumber thing to say, honestly:
we know the show will end when we reveal the true makeup of the island and why our characters landed there.So if you're watching becuase you want to know what's going on... you should stop watching. Then the ratings will go down, and then it will be cancelled, and then they'll tell you the show's premise. Excellent.
