Javi only worked on Lost for the first and second seasons (See his wiki page), so don't get all worked up so quickly about the ending. He is actually a very nice guy. Don't be so quick to dismiss him.

Unless he starts off with an apology for the ending of 'Lost', and lying about the premise early on when people guessed it, I guess I don't see the point.
