It's interesting to note how many writers from
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
,
Angel
, and/or
Firefly
, all shows I loved with a crazed and unreasonable passion, have gone on to other shows I've enjoyed or am now watching regularly.
Let's take a look...
Drew Goddard, after a stint on
Alias
, which I haven't watched since its series premiere, is now a supervising producer on
Lost
.
Drew Z. Greenberg is now a producer on
Dexter.
David Greenwalt is now a consulting producer on
Eureka.
The incomparable
Jane Espenson has penned two episodes of
Battlestar Galactica
, which I watch but don't blog regularly (for reasons I might blather about in a separate post), and also was a co-executive producer on
Tru Calling
, where
Douglas Petrie also served for a while as co-executive producer.
Ben Edlund is now working on
Supernatural
, where he penned the fabulous "Simon Said." He's joined there by many folks who were involved in another long-term obsession of mine,
The X-Files
.
Jeffrey Bell spent some time on the unfortunately cancelled
Day Break, along with several other
X-Files alumni.
And that's just the writers. Many of the actors, too, have moved on to do excellent work on other series. But that's a post for another day...
