'Lineage'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
Was Fury no longer with the show at the time that he spilled the beans?
the interview wasn't that long ago and he's been gone from the show for a while because he did eps of The Inside right after he left Lost. i think. or maybe i'm talking out of my ass.
Somebody was actually surprised that there was no plan?
I know! It's as if they hadn't been watching the show. . . or Alias for that matter. (Hey, still love them -- but still.)

The interview was only a few weeks ago, I think. Fury is now at 24.

That's one fast-burning kerfuffle.
Fury is now at 24.
Where everyone admits there's no plan! Whee!

Or where if there's a plan, it's only good for 6-10 episodes, so they either need to pad like crazy or addend on the fly.
Amnesia and cougar, I'm looking at you.
That's one fast-burning kerfuffle.
Kerfuffle life cycles keep getting shorter.
Fury "cheerfully" reveals that there is no plan.Hee.
i would compare him to DeKnight, but that would just be mean.Hee, again. Also? To whom?
Where everyone admits there's no plan! Whee!
::is STUNNED!::
Probably because I stopped paying any attention after they reneged on their promise with the S1 finale. I went from loyal fan to meh, in the space of an hour.
This was DH. He announced immediately after the S1 finale, "We're not watching this show anymore." It didn't last. When we watch it now he always says, "they're making this up as they go along, aren't they?"
Thanks, Kristen!
Somebody was actually surprised that there was no plan?
I wasn't so much surprised as annoyed, although I think I like Fury better now. They said that there was a plan. Insisted on it. Said over and over that there would be resolution in the first season (not of everything, but at least some). To my knowledge, they never claimed a plan for Alias, although I never followed it, so I could be completely wrong there.
Looking for the kerfuffle, I found an article where Lindelof blithely says that the fans may be pissed, but they're not going to tell them anything because that's how to do a cliffhanger. It is actually possible, and I've seen it done, to resolve the initial issue (or at least one of them) while bringing up five more, often bigger, ones. In last season alone, see Veronica Mars, Desperate Housewives.
Um, this is kind of off topic, isn't it. How about that wonderful work Tim did on Buffy!
