I was a fan of Angel until the WB axed it, but I loved how we got to know all the writers. I watched Lost because of Fury (I love it because its good, but Fury was the hook). Anyway I couldnty help noticing how close all the Lost writing staff are to Angel, every writer (that I know of) has worked with an Angel writer on another project, or on ANgel itself.

JJ -Also* works with Jeffrey Bell (Angel 2001-2004, Executive Producer 2004) and Drew Goddard (Angel 2003-2004) on Alias
Damon - Previously worked and wrote episodes with Steve DeKnight (Angel 2002 - 2004) in the third season of MTV's Undressed
Carlton Cuse - Created and Executive produced Nash Bridges, Shawn Ryan* (Angel 2000 - 2001) worked on the show for seasons 3 to 5 (Damon joined in the final season)
Fury - Is the only writer credited with a telepley in every season of Angel, though he wasnt officially on staff until s4, became Executive producer in 2004
Javi - worked with Angel Co-Creator David Greenwalt on Jake 2.0
Christian Taylor - worked with Angel Co-Creator David Greenwalt on Miracles
Jennifer Johnson - Previously worked and wrote episodes with Steve DeKnight (Angel 2002 - 2004) in the first three seasons of MTV.. She, DeKnight and Damon co-wrote 8 episodes together
Lynne E. Litt* - worked with Mere Smith (Angel 2000 - 2003) on the WB's short lived Tarzan
Jesse Alexander - Alias (see JJ)
Jeff Pinkner - Alias (see JJ)
Kim Clements - Worked on the Shield, which was created by Shawn Ryan (Angel 2000 - 2001)
Paul Dini - cant find any connection to Angel
Brent Fletcher (???? Is he at Lost, I read that he was going to be) - Made his writting debut on Angel in season 5, and was also script co-ordinator

I guess my questions are.
1) Is this just a co-incidence, or is hollywood small enough, and genre shows cancelled often enough that i could have done this with any show
2) Do I have all the writers
3) and one for Mr Dini, have you ever worked with an Angel writer before.
