"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Here is the promo for the next Angel episode (and next to last ever), Power Play :

Narrator: Next Wednesday, with just two episodes left...

We open up on a shot of Angel walking alone in a corridor of grey stone, as he comes up to a circular symbol painted (in blood?) on the wall. The words FINAL 2 EPISODES appear.

We fade out, then fade in on a shot of Angel in bed, with Nina (the werewolf from earlier episodes) wearing a nightie, snuggling up to Angel.

Switch angles from the side of the bed to an angle from the foot of the bed, where we see Angel reclined against the headboard, and Nina sitting to his right and facing him. The shot must be in Angel's bedroom, since light from the windows falls on Angel.

Switch angles back to focus on Nina's face as she looks at Angel as he talks to her.

Angel: "I've spent years, fighting to get somewhere, to accomplish something."

We finish up on the angle from the foot of the bed, then fade to black.

Fade in on a shot of Angel's office. He is standing in the foreground, and Wesley, Lorne and Spike are in the background, near the doorway. They are looking at Angel, and Angel has his back turned on them.

Narrator: The hero they trusted...

Cut to a shot of Spike and Gunn standing in the office in front of the window, showing the night skyline.

Cut to a close up of Wesley as he walks in the room, his eyes focused on something off-camera.

Fade to black, then fade in on Angel in a room with grey stone walls, similar to the opening shot, but this is a closed-in room instead of a corridor. Also, Angel appears to be frontlit by fire of some kind.

Angel: "And now that I'm close to it -"

Fade to black, then cut to a shot of Wesley holding a shotgun on Angel as he stands at his desk. Angel bats the gun away with his left hand.

Pull to an angle from behind Angel. He kicks Wesley in the gut. Spike appears to be behind him and to Angel's left, by the camera location. Gunn is directly to Angel's left, near the doorway, and he is holding a sword out in front of him, menacing Angel. Lorne is standing back and to Wesley's right, and may be holding a gun himself pointed at Angel.

Narrator: ...will betray them.

Cut to a quick close up of Gunn.

Switch to a close up of Angel as he brings up the butt end of Wesley's shotgun, then pull back to the angle behind the action where we see Angel knock Gunn out with the gun. From this angle, it looks like the rest of the gang has been knocked out.

Fade to black, then fade in on Angel in the grey stone room, lit by the fire. He stares at the glowing fire, as though steeling himself to do something. He then starts and jumps forward.

Angel: "-I don't like what I see."

We pull back to see Angel jumping through a doorway ringed with fire, then fade to white.

Fade in on the Angel logo, with the words THE FINAL 2 EPISODES underneath it.

Narrator: You can't miss the final two episodes of Angel, next week on the WB Wednesday night.

No Grr. Arrgh.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

This is a breakdown of Angel's vision that he had in the episode "Power Play":

The vision begins with Angel sleeping in his bed, then waking with a start.

An overhead shot of the symbol of the Circle of the Black Thorn on a woodne table, with four people (we see four sets of hands at each corner of the sybmbol, and not all of the hands are human).

The camera zooms in on the symbol, then the picture switches to a negative of the symbol.

Flash white, then we see a mass of flames.

Cut to a shot of one of the hooded figures in a mask that was at Angel's initiation.

Back to the flames, the switch to another figure in a mask as it brings a paddle down on a body.

Cut to a shot of the hooded body, presumably Dorgyn's, as figures beat on it.

Flash white, then we see a negative of a masked figure, followed by the regular shot of the mask, followed by a negative of the mask again.

Flash white, then cout to a shot of a blond woman lying on the ground, with her face streaked with three lines of blood. A figure is standing next to the body, but you have no indication of who it is.

Flash with, then cut to a scene where we see three bodies on a carpetd floor. The camera pulls up and away from the bodies, then flashes white.

Cut to a shot of a guy lying on the floor, open briefcase to his right, papers spilled out the briefcase, and a pool of blood on the papers. The camera scans to the left and another set of blood-soaked papers is visible.

Flash white, then we see a negative of a drippng slash painted on a wall. The negative becomes a normal shot, and it appears that the slash may be blood. There is also a black blob to the right of the slash. The shot flashes to the negative again.

Flash white, then we cut to Angel jumping through the threshhold of fire. As the camera zooms in on Angel , the scene shifts to just a ball of flames, seen earlier in the vision. The shot flashes white, then we return to "real" time.

The vision lasts between 3 and seconds.

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Here is the promo breakdown for the last Angel episode, "Not Fade Away" :

All words in the promo are spoken by the Narrator:

Next Wednesday, the final episode of Angel.

We open on a shot of Angel running down an alley, carrying a sword. It is raining.

Jump cut to a shot in front of Angel, as he slows down as he strides forward at the ready.

After five years, it will all come down to one moment.

Fade to black, then fade in on the long shot of the gang standing in Angel's office, holding up their hands to indicate that they are volunteering to join Angel in his quest against the Circleof the Black Thorn.

Fade/overlap to a two-shot of Gunn and Lorne holding up their hands.

Lapse to a shot of Spike holding his hand up high.

Ovelap with a shot of Wesley and Angel. As the camera moves towards the left and focusing more on Angel, his fingers open up as he raises his hand.

His purpose will become clear.

.Cut ot an overhead shot of the symbol of the Circle of the Black Thorn on a wooden table. The symbol appears to be painted on a square piece of wood, and this piece is on top of a table. At each corner of the wood, we see a pair of hands, at least one of which is not human.

Overlap this shot with a shot of three figures in hooded, black robes as they walk down a corridor of grey stone, then this shot overlaps a close up of a curved sword that is being held in a red, demony hand. Overlap that shot with a shot of Angel seated at a big wooden table. It looks like the racquetball demon is sitting to his right, and across the table (directly in front of the camera) is a demon (probably the Archduke) drinking a blue liquid. Some other demon is seated Angel's left.

His fate will become legend.

Fade to black, then fade in on many hooded, black-robed figures wielding swords and pikes as they run through the rain-soaked alley. (I'm mostly reminded of Uruk-Hai attacking Helm's Deep with this shot).

Overlap that shot with an extreme close up of Illyria's face, smeared with blood. She is looking up at something.

Overlap that shot with Angel standing, drenched, in the alley in the rain. Spike is standing back and to Angel's right, and somebody else (can't tell who) is standing back and to the left.

But one of his own will not survive.

Fade to black, then cut to a shot of Spike fighting some deamon in a wood-paneled office. Cut to a close up of Spike as he slams his left elbow into the demon.

Cut to a shot of Cyrus Vail's (the demon who cast the memory wipe spell) residence. WE see Angel suspended in mid-air as Cyrus walks around him, talking ot him.

Cut to a shot of the lobby of Wolfram and Hart, as we see a pillar collapsed, ranging from the second floor balcony to the center of the room.

Cut to Illyria standing in a street as a car approaches her. The shot is from inside the car.

We see someone wearing a white, long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves pulled up and a chain around its left wrist washing blood of its hands under a faucet.

Cut to a shot of a wrecked apartment, with a body (covered by a tablecloth) lying on the floor. Lindsey (wearing a white, long-sleeved shirt with his sleeves pulled up) is standing to the left of the shot, while Lorne is standing to the right of the shot, facing Lindsey. Lorne is wearing a leather coat, and oh, yeah, he has a gun. Lorne raises the gun and shoots at Lindsey.

Cut to a shot of Gunn beating the holy crap out of someone, then being takled by somebody else. I can't identify the other figures in question, but the scene appears to be in the lab.

Cut to a shot of the lobby of Wolfram and Hart. In the background, we can see Angel and somebody else (Wes, perhaps) who is bent over at his waist as they look to the center of the room. A large concrete support beam falls to the floor.

The final key to the Angel saga.

Fade to black, then fade in on a shot from behind Angel, in the rainy alley, as he is faced with a chain-link fence. Angel holds his hands up to the fence, then turns to his right. We can see that the right side of his face is smeared with blood. The camera pivots around Angel as he scans around his location.

The series finale, next week on the WB Wednesday.

Cue the Angel logo, this time with the words THE WB SERIES FINALE. The backdrop of the logo is the shot of Angel striding through the rainy alley.

No Grr. Arrgh. (WE BETTER GET ONE NEXT WEEK).

"Don't think of yourself as an organic pain collector racing towards oblivion." Dogbert to Dilbert

Here it is! The breakdown of the trailer for Serenity, coming not soon enough to a theater near you:

We open with a shot of Serenity streaking through the outer edges of a planet's atmosphere. The camera pans forward to the front of the ship.

Fade to black, then fade in on Simon standing in a lab (on the ship or not, I can't tell), with the lights down low so that there is a blue glow. There is somone in the background at a terminal or lab bench.

Mal (OS - this goes on over the images that follow): "You all got on this boat for different reasons."

Cut to a shot of Zoe in an interior location, holding a shotgun in her right hand and looking to her left. Cabinets and two figurines can be seen behind her.

Cut to a shot of Inara, standing before some strange looking trees/plants.

Switch to a shot of River, peering around a beam as the camera comes around it.

We then see a shot of Jayne, standing up and moving in the cargo hold of the ship.

Mal (still OS): "But you all come to the same place.

We see a shot of most of the cast on the bridge. Wash is seated at the pilot's chair, with Zoe over his shoulder to his right. To his left and behind him stands Mal. Behind Mal to his right is Kaylee, to his left and behind is Inara. Further to the left and forward stands Simon. Farthest to Mal's left (our right in the shot) is Jayne, and it looks like he's got Vera in his hands. All of them are staring forward, then Jayne steps forward a bit.

The shot then cuts to a side shot of Serenity flying throught a planet's atmosphere, and it whizzes by, leaving a trail of plasma.

We now get a different shot of the bridge, as the camera has swung further to our left, and the people have moved. In the foreground, we still have Wash at the pilot's seat, concentrating. Zoe is now to his left with her hand on his shoulder. Directly behind Wash and up against the wall leans River, and Simon is standing next to him. Off to the left in the middle of the shot is Mal, and he looks to be talking to Inara, who is on his left. Jayne is leaning against the back wall behind them, with his right hand behind his head. Kaylee is standing all the way to our right and forward, with her arms crossed.

Mal (OS still): "So now I'm asking more of you, then I ever have before".

Cut to a shot of Serenity in space, flying through a field of debris, as it hurtles towards a blue, earth-like planet.

Mal (OS still): "Sure as I know anything, I know this..."

Cut to an interior shot, of the galley perhaps, with overhead, natural-type light filtering down. River is seated at the table, and Mal is standing off at the end of the table, looking at River. Kaylee is in the foreground right of the shot, with a frown on her face in the dark.

Switch to a close up of Serenity or another ship as it fires its laser guns.

Pull back to see an explosion on a larger ship as Serenity pulls away.

Cut to a shot of Mal, standing on the bridge, backlit by light pouring in from the windows.

Mal: "...I aim to misbehave."

Quick flash cut to the medical bay or a lab. Somone is seated in a medical chair (we can only see an arm), and a figure dressed in black plunges a dagger into the floor.

We get a close up of the dagger pommel. It is a globe surrounded by two rings, topped with an eagle.

Pull around to an angle from below the deck of the floor, as the person with the dagger plunged in the floor appears to be kneeling before the figure in the medical chair. Some kind of wave or explosion of blue light appears overhead, as the "globe" flies up from the dagger.

Switch to a shot from the Serenity's cockpit. Mal and Wash are there, and we are behind them, looking through the windows. Wash has his back to the windows as he works on a console. Mal is standing and looking forward, and the ship is rocked by a plasma explosion.

Cut to an exterior space shot as ship debris hurtles by, with a planet looming in the background.

We then see the (continued...)

The screen flickers again, then we see the words "BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER".

Another flicker, then we see "AND ANGEL".

One more flicker, then we get "COMES HIS UNIQUE VISION"

The screen flickers, then we see "OF THE FUTURE".

The screen flickers, then we cut to a shot of Serenity flying over a desert, with blue sky behind it.

Cut to a shot of flying through clouds, then we come upon some industrial looking structures built on mesas. The shot screams up to something that may be a ship or missle at a launch pad.

The words "A PASSENGER WITH A PAST" appears.

We get a shot of River laying on the metal grating of a deck on the ship, looking pensive.

Mal: "I'm taking your sister under my protection here."

Fade to black, with the words "SIX REBELS ON THE RUN" appearing.

Cut to a close up of booted legs jumping down onto the surface of a planet. A primitve town is seen in the background, with some kind of obelisk in the center of the shot.

Quick cut to a shot of River, on a planet, turning around towards the camera with a look of fear on her face.

Fade to black, then we see River standing in the ship.

River: "They're coming."

We switch back to the shot where Mal was talking to Simon while Zoe and Jayne looked on, except this time Mal seems to be reacting to something Simon said, and Zoe and Jayne both are grimacing and looking down.

Flash to a shot in space of ships leaving a planet.

Cut to a shot of Mal standing in a cave. The barrel of a gun is visible, as though he is holding a rifle upright on the ground.

Mal: "I think we better go."

Quick shot to an interior location (the cargo hold, perhaps). We see Mal standing and facing the camera, then a figure (perhaps a reaver) pops up behind him and screams. Mal turns around towards it.

We quickly reverse the shot to see Mal reaching down to pull his gun out of its holster. Behind him and seated in a vehicle inside the hold are River, Jayne, and Zoe. Jayne rises up with his gun drawn, and Mal fires a shot.

The screen flickers, then we (continued...)

We see the unknown guy through a circular window on a door. A blonde woman is reclining on a bed in the background.

Cut to a shot of a corridor, and the camera pans up to the ceiling, where we see River holding herself up there by using her legs against the sides of the corridor and her hand holding something on the ceiling. She is dressed in a blue and white leotard.

The camera switches angles to be even with the ceiling as we see River holding her position.

Unknown person plaved by David Krumholtz (OS): "You'll know what it is you're carrying."

The next shot is from behind River as she removes her coat/cload and drops it to the floor. The scene appears to be in a bar of some kind.

The camera cuts to Rivers booted feet as the coat falls to the floor and she walks forward.

The angle pulls out so that we see River standing in the middle of the room, walking slowly. People get up to attack her and she starts her kung-fu.

The camera switches angles as we see River kick a person in the face, then she spins and kicks with the other leg some other person jumping up to attack her. A third guy rushes towards her and gets kicked in the gut.

Cut to a shot of Mal, seated at a table in the bar, as he pulls a fan or shade up and looks out to see what is happening. He has a look of consternation on his face. Jayne is seated next to him, but he hasn't noticed anything yet.
