Learn Who Now Controls The BUFFYVERSE!!
The season-five “Angel” writers report to work on Monday! Here’s who’ll
begin crafting the all-new tales of the Buffiverse in about 60 hours: 
Joss Whedon (“Waiting in the Wings,” “Spin the Bottle”). The
“Buffy”-“Angel” mastermind writes and directs the “Angel” season opener for
the first time since the pilot. (And, yes, this nails dead the possibility
that the male-slayer fan-fic that blighted the Internet last weekend could
be even partially legit. There's no way those pages sprang from the giant
brain of The Whedon.) 
Jeffrey Bell (“Habeus Corpses,” “The Magic Bullet”). An “X-Files” vet who
joined Team “Angel” around the same time Winifred Burkle did, he became de
facto showrunner last season when Whedon and Tim Minear were busy putting
“Firefly” on its feet, and co-creator David Greenwalt left to oversee ABC’s
short-lived “Miracles.” 
Elizabeth Craft & Sarah Fain (“Release,” “Players”). Joined the series last
season. Their other big credit was writing for the WB’s “Glory Days,” a
short-lived whodunit from Kevin “Dawson’s Creek” Williamson. 
Steven DeKnight (“Apocalypse Nowish,” “Inside Out”). A vet of MTV’s
nakedness-free porn soap “Undressed,” DeKnight served as a “Buffy” scribe
during the slayer’s fifth and sixth seasons, then leapt to “Angel” with
last season’s first-rate opener, “Deep Down.” He’s been exclusive to
“Angel” ever since. 
(The Great) Ben Edlund (“Sacrifice”). Edlund is a certified comedy genius,
having created “The Tick” comic book, the Saturday morning cartoon based
thereon, and the primetime Fox sitcom version of “The Tick” starring
Patrick Warburton. He was hired last season to work on Whedon’s spaceship
show “Firefly.” When that was cancelled at midseason, he joined “Angel.” 
David Fury (“Salvage,” “Peace Out”). The Iron Man of the Buffiverse, Fury
joined “Buffy” in season two and has written for every subsequent season.
He's also authored scripts for all four prior seasons of “Angel.” He’s also
the fellow in “Once More With Feeling” who sings “They Got The Mustard
Out!” 
Drew Goddard (The “Buffy” episodes “Conversations With Dead People” and
“Dirty Girls”). Goddard is technically the only true “Angel” rookie this
season. He joined “Buffy” last season and his very first episode was season
seven’s very best: the sad, scary, hilarious and Anya-centric “Selfless.” 
Who won’t be writing for “Angel” this season? 
Jane Espenson. Herc’s second-favorite “Buffy” writer joined the slayer
circle during season three and co-wrote the series’ penultimate episode
with Doug Petrie. Like Petrie, she hasn’t scripted an “Angel” since that
show’s second season. Espenson is committed this season to working
exclusively for “Gilmore Girls” (the show that inherited the WB’s “Buffy”
timeslot after the slayer made the hop to UPN two years ago). 
Drew Greenberg. Greenberg joined “Buffy” in season six. And while he
crafted an installment of “Firefly,” he's never written an "Angel."
Post-“Buffy,” he’s joined the staff of the WB’s “Smallville.” 
David Greenwalt. With the cancellation of “Miracles,” “Angel’s” co-creator
now oversees UPN’s upcoming comic sci-fi actioner “Jake 2.0.” 
Rebecca Rand Kirshner. “Freaks & Geeks” vet Kirshner joined “Buffy” in
season five and wrote the season-seven standout “Help” as well as the
series’ antepenultimate episode, “Touched.” We’re not certain what she’s up
to this season, but we’re told she won’t be joining “Angel.” 
Tim Minear. The writer-director behind “Angel’s” spectacular season-four
finale has been a major part of the series since season one, but has now
left to oversee Fox’s supernatural midseason drama “Wonderfalls.” 
Marti Noxon. A “Buffy” writer since season two and its showrunner since
season six, Noxon scripted only one episode of “Angel,” during its first
season, but apparently remained involved in shaping the spinoff’s story
arcs. This season Noxon will oversee the Fox’s “Sixth Sense”-esque
supernatural midseason drama “Still Life.” 
Doug Petrie. A “Buffy” writer since season three, the writer-director
behind Herc fave “As You Were” hasn’t scripted for “Angel” since its second
season. Petrie is now on staff at Eliza Dushku’s upcoming “Groundhog
Day”-esque Fox drama “Tru Calling.” 
Mere Smith. An “Angel” writer since season two, she’s responsible for
lightning lass Gwen Raiden’s best moments last season. Smith has moved on
to the WB’s upcoming urban actioner “Tarzan & Jane.”
