Okay, so maybe rejoice is too strong a word but I’m still damn glad she’s not going to be writing or producing for Angel. I felt she had a big hand in Buffy’s decline in season’s 6 and 7. [Herc has posted](http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=15381) a list of who will be joining the Angel writing team from Buffy and who will not over at AICN. I was happy to see that **David Fury, Steven DeKnight,** and **Drew Goddard** will be writing for Angel next season. Drew Goddard wrote some of my favorite episodes last season on Buffy. I was dissapointed to see that **Drew Greenberg, Doug Petrie,** and **Rebecca Rand Kirshner** will not be writing for Angel next year. They wrote most of my all-time favorite Buffy episodes. Who would you like to have seen write for Angel? ---

I’ll not be rejoicing. I liked seasons 6 and7 of Buffy, and think she has a lot of talent. ---

I don’t buy into the idea of Noxon as the scapegoat of what went wrong. Ultimately, it’s Joss Wheadon’s responsibility. Also, it’s been known for a while that Noxon is going to another production company. ---

1. Woo Hoo! While maybe not exclusively her fault-- better safe then sorry. 2. Seasons 6-7 ruined Buffy. They were on average- bad. For every good episode there was 5 bad ones. Thank God for Angel, and the Firefly DVD coming soon! 3. I think **Pepperlandgirl** may have posted something on this topic before- you may want to take a look for it, as she tends to have some good information.
