Please stop with the writing about “Angel” coming to NBC. NBC? Cancelled “Star Trek”! Not going to air anything as cool as “Angel,” ever!
It was a very very fakey post, from somebody claiming to have some connection to NBC, but Dark Horizons apparently posted a link to it, which means every human being on the planet who ever read Dark Horizons (Hi Garth! Thanks!) emailed the Herc about it over the last 12 hours.
So I asked someone intimately familiar with the situation, a good man or woman who was decent enough to speedily reply:

Herc -
I wish it were true, but it's a steaming pile of BS. The sets have been struck, the writers are on new shows, etc.
Joss is very focused on SERENITY which starts shooting in three weeks.

Okay, but since you’re here already, you are hereby rewarded with some real “Angel” news, kinda:
You all know that finale-co-writing/directing “Angel” vet Jeff Bell is transferring over to “Alias” next season, yes? Well, ol’ “Intimately Familiar With The Situation” also reveals that “Buffy”/”Angel” superstar Drew Goddard (he co-wrote that last, brilliant Italy-set episode) is also migrating to “Alias”! So look for “Alias” to become perhaps the best show ever next season!
Another “Angel” superstar, Liz Craft (she and her superstar pard, Sarah Fain, wrote the five-star “Underneath,” aired a couple Wednesdays ago), recently mentioned in passing that the distaff scribe duo would be hooking up with the next season of FX’s “The Shield.” (Which is masterminded by yet another “Angel” vet, Shawn Ryan.)
