What Doug plans to do next

I feel - in terms of writing - more freewheeling than ever before. Having written The Weight of the World which scared me so badly going in, I feel pretty fearless right now.

When we first started, everyone had kind of a niche. Jane would do comedy episodes, Marti would do big emotional episodes, I would do action episodes, David Fury would do comedy/action episodes and Joss did it all.

Now I think that the areas are blending so much that I would almost take the luck of the draw. I almost look forward to getting pot luck and saying, "Okay, what episode do you want me to write this time?" and just taking on anything that they want to give me and not having a preference for the first time ever.

When I first started I was like, "No, I must write Faith episodes, I really like writing Faith episodes," and that�s great, but right now I�d do anything they wanted to give me and if I can direct more episodes I�ll just be the happiest guy in Hollywood.
