Ben
Edlund
Supervising Producer
Ben Edlund is a bit more difficult to judge than the other writers,
having only joined Angel at the back end of
season four, he has penned just 3 episodes so far (including one co-written), Sacrafice. Which was won by Angel, but with only 64 lines. Wes and Gunn also won
medals in that game. Just Rewards (with David Fury) was also won by Angel, this time with a whopping 109 (his second highest score) but also saw Spike doing very
well on 98 (also his second highest score), whilst Wes picked up a very
low scoring bronze. Finally Life of the
Party was won by Lorne on 95 (his highest
scoring episode), with Angel in second and Wes third. So not
much of a pattern yet, although there is one, its perhaps a bizarre
co-incidence more than a trend, but not only has Wes finished third
in every Edlund episode, and not only has Fred finished fourth
in every Edlund episode, but in every
case the two characters were separated by a single line Sacrifice (45-44), Just Rewards
(28-27)
and Life of the Party (45-44). It’s an interesting anomaly, surely unintentional, and not one that should be expected to
continue, but still, freaky.
Ben Edlund is perhaps best known for his comic book the Tick which he
created and wrote the first 12 issues of, which was also turned into a cartoon series in 1994, latter
still Edlund created a
live action version on the Fox network (2001). The live action version
was short lived however, and cancelled after only 8 episodes, the following
year he joined the staff of Whedon’s Firefly as Producer, having previously worked with Joss on the
screenplay Titan AE. Firefly like the Tick was also
short lived, and following its cancellation he joined the staff Angel as Producer and has subsequently been promoted to
Supervising Producer. Edlund will be making his directorial debut latter this year
