Adapting Robert Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" into a script.

[on a sixth season of "Angel"] Post-apocalyptic L.A. would have been more expensive to produce, in my opinion. One of the things that happened by actually cutting the budget in season five meant fewer locations or new sets per episode, which is why you saw more action taking place on standing Wolfram & Hart sets. I think "Angel" would have been canceled after year five, frankly. ... The network wanted to make room to grow new shows. Think of it like Vegas. They'd been putting coins into our machine for five years and it hadn't hit a jackpot -- just got back respectable returns. They wanted to slide their network butts over and try a new machine.
