Here is the promo breakdown for the next Buffy episode, "First Date" :

Narrator: Acuvue-cam presents a preview of next week's all-new Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

We open with a shot of Buffy walking through the upstairs hall, in daytime, and Spike comes into the hall in front of her. Buffy stops short.

Reverse to an angle from behind Spike, as we see that Buffy, dressed in a slip, appears to be just stepping out of the bathroom and looks a little startled.

Reverse back to an angle from behind Buffy, as Spike talks to her.

Spike: "Heard you got a date."

Cut to a shot of Anya standing in the living room, as she tosses her head in exasperation.

Anya: "Everybody has a date."

Cut to a shot of Principal Wood, standing in front of a cabinet, as he turns his face towards the camera and has a sinister look to his expression.

Fade to s shot of Principal Wood opening the cabinet, as we see that behind the cabinet door there are a bunch of knives and other sharp weapons arranged on the wall.

Narrator: With an extra-hot, extra-twisted Valentine just for you.

The scene fades to a new one with a flash of fire in a heart shape (get it? Valentine's?), as we see Buffy in a restaurant. She is leaning forward as Principal Wood feeds her something from his fork. Buffy opens her mouth wide to eat whatever it is.

Quick reverse angle to focus on Principal Wood, noticebly dressed down for the occasion (sweater, no suit).

Cut back to Buffy, reacting to the food she just tasted.

Buffy (laughing): "That might be the best thing I've ever had in my mouth."

Cut to a shot at a construction site, where we see Ashanti talking to Xander. The shot is from behind Xander's shoulder.

Reverse angle to see Xander shake his head at something Ashanti says.

Narrator: R&B diva Ashanti guest stars...

Cut back to a close up of Ashanti, grinning a little wickedly, as "ASHANTI" is posted on the screen.

Cut to a shot at the Summers' house. In a shot from behind Buffy, we see Willow talking to Xander.

Willow: "Is she evil?"

Pull back to include Xander in the wide shot. We see that Buffy is seated on the couch, Willow is standing next to her, and Xander is standing on the end closest to the door. Buffy turns towards Xander to hear his reply.

Reverse angle to focus on Xander.

Xander: "Well, she's interested in me, so there's a good chance, but I'm hoping for the best." (Xander pumps his fist in hope.)

We get the "heart-shaped fire" again and cut to a scene where we see Ashanti, in a dark room, tugging on a rope dangling from above.

Narrator: ...as Xander's freaky date from hell.

We pull back to reveal that this is the basement of the school, and that the seal of Danzilthar has been uncovered. Ashanti is pulling on the ropes to move the wheel mechanism that was used to suspend Spike while he was bled, only this time, Xander is strapped into the contraption.

Cut to a close up of Ashanti.

Ashanti: "Do the ropes hurt?"

Cut to a close up of the bound Xander.

Xander: "Yes."

Return back to Ashanti.

Ashanti: "Good!"

Cut the Acuvue logo, rather than the Buffy logo.

Narrator: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, brought to you in part by Acuvue contact lenses.

Here is the breakdown of the promo for next week's Angel episode, "Calvary" :

Narrator: Next week on the WB Wednesday...

We open with a shot of Angelus in his cage, grinning and twitching.

Cut to a shot of Cordelia in the Hyperion lobby, talking to someone of camera.

Cordelia: "Do you know what Angelus would do if we let him out?"

Cut to a close up of Wesley, looking pensive.

Narrator: Angel has now been lost to the dark side.

We flash to a series of scenes, shown in a sepia tone.

We see Angelus in the cage, grabbing Cordelia and shaking her violently.

Cut to a close up of Cordelia as her hair flys around due to the shaking.

We then see Cordelia fall down to the cage floor.

Cut to a shot of Angelus leaping down to the Hyperion lobby from the second floor.

We then see Angelus rushing towards the weapon cabinet.

Cut to see Angelus grab something from the weapon cabinet and throw it back out towards something off-carera. (End of sepia tone).

Return to full color as we see a shot of Gunn standing in the lobby, then turning to glare at something.

Flash cut to a shot of Angelus in the cage.

Cut to a shot of the camera swooping in for a close up of Angelus standing in front of the Hyperion door.

We see a shot of Angelus sitting on the floor of his cage, hinding in the shadows.

Angelus; "I'll give you a ten second start."

We see a slow-motion blurry shot of Fred, standing at the desk in the office, as she turns towards the camera.

Cut to see Gunn standing behind the lobby desk, as he turns and runs for something.

Switch angles to see that Gunn is rushing to pick up a rifle that is resting on the chair next to the end of the lobby desk.

Cut to a shot of Gunn in the basement in front of the cage, as he lets loose with a flame-thrower.

Narrator: Before it's over someone will die, and there's an ending you can't miss.

We return to the sepia-toned shots. The first shot if of Wesley.

Fade to a shot of Fred standing in front of the desk.

Lapse to a shot of Gunn, glaring at something.

We end the sepia tone with a shot of Cordelia.

Fade to black, then cut to a shot of the sun obscured by the magic.

Cut to an outdoors shot, in a wooded area, where we see two figures digging a hole in the ground in the distance. To me, it looks as if the ones digging the hole are Connor and Gunn.

Cue the ANGELUS logo.

Narrator: An all-new Angel, next week on the WB Wednesday night.

Grr. Arrgh.

Here is the promo breakdown for the next Buffy episode, "Get It Done" :

Narrator: Acuvue-Cam presents a preview of next week's all-new Buffy...

We open up with a shot, in sepia tone, of Buffy, wearing a jean jacket and white top, in a cave-like setting as she looks around her environment with a shocked look on her face.

Cut to a scene in the Summers' living room. This shot is also in a sepia tone. We see in the center of the room a portal or dimensional gate, sitting in mid-air, as it closes. Buffy dives head first into the closing gate. Other members of the gang are standing behind Buffy, next to the far wall of the room. Furthest to Buffy's left is Dawn, holding open a large book. Standing next to her is Willow. Closest to the camera, and to Buffy's back and right, is Xander.

Narrator: She's trapped in another dimension when all hell breaks loose. Now the world depends on Buffy's next move.

We cut to a shot, panning from low to high, of a very muscular demon. This shot is also in the sepia tone.

Switch to normal color as we see the demon crashing through the set of glass doors that separate one room from another.

Cut to a shot of the living room, where we see the demon crouching in the middle as Dawn comes charging straight at it (and the camera) with an axe high above her head as she prepares to chop.

We see a scene in the kitchen or dining room. This is a night shot. Standing closest to the camera is a figure clad in white and apparently floating in the middle of the room (only and arm and hand can be seen of the figure). Facing the figure, standing just in front of the doorway, from right to left, are Buffy, Kennedy, and Dawn. Kennedy reacts to the figure by bringing her right hand up to her mouth. Rona then walks in behind them, but the scene cuts before we can see how she reacts.

Back to sepia tone, as we see someone lighting a candle.

Still in sepia tone, we see a shot of the living room. In the center of the room is a fire. Xander is walking away from it. Arranged in a semi-cirlce at a distance from it are, from right to left, Dawn (holding open a large bood), Willow, Kennedy, Anya, and perhaps Spike in the left corner. Shadows are swirling aroung and projecting against the wall.

Still in sepia tone, we cut to a close up of Dawn with the large, open book. Shadows swirl on the wall behind her.

Cut to a shot of Buffy, standing next to the light switch and the glass doors with a surprised look on her face. Shadows swirl on the wall.

Cut to a close up of the fire. Small figures can be seen circling around the fire.

Cut to another shot of Dawn with the open book. She turns and looks at the shadows being projectend on the wall behind her. A "jack-o-lantern" shadow can be seen forming behind her in the direction she isn't looking.

Cut to a shot of Dawn (with the book), Willow, and Kennedy. All three seem to recoil from a shadow figure.

Cut to a shot of Xander recoiling from something in the swirling shadows.

We then see Dawn and Kennedy get hit by a big flash of light.

Pull back from that scene to reveal that the flash of light is coming from a figure seated in the center of the room. The figure is probably Willow, seated facing the camera, but she turns to look behind her as the flash of light hits Kennedy and Dawn. Xander is standing furthest to our right, and Anya is standing furthest to our left, so that they don't get hit by the energy blast. This is the last "sepia tone" shot of this stretch.

As we switch back to normal color, a song begins to play over a montage of scenes.

'Cause I'm just a little girl, you see

We see a shot of the SIT's working out in the back yard during the day. Buffy is standing on the back porch with Prinicpal Wood. Kennedy seems to be leading the Potentials in an exercise regimen. There are many more SIT's together in one place than we have seen this season.

Cut to another shot of the Potentials exercising. In this side shot, we can see that Rona is one of the Potentials present.

Cut to a shot of Spike being thrown through the basement ceiling to a room on the first floor by some kind of demon.

Don't ever underestimate what I can do

Cut back to another training shot, again focusing on Rona.

We see Spike, in vamp-face, standing in front of a brick wall. He screams and charges at something off-camera.

Back in sepia tone, we see Buffy standing in the upstairs corridor. Some figure graps her and throws her down the staircase.

Still in sepia tone, we see Buffy tumble down the staircase.

Cut to Buffy landing at the bottom of the staircase, and a figure pounces on top of her.

Reverse angle to reveal that the First Slayer is the one that attacked Buffy. She snarls for the camera.

In normal color, we cut to another shot of the exercises for the SIT's. Again, Rona is a focus of the shot.

Cut to an interior shot of Xander being thrown on to a table that collapses under him.

Back in sepia tone, we see Buffy standing in the middle of a strange location. She appears to be held down by chains that are strapped to her wrists and bolted to the floor of the cave-like location.

Still in sepia tone, we cut to a shot of an older black woman wearing something like a turban and holding a staff of some kind, as though she were a shaman or priestess.

Still in the sepia tone, we cut to a shot from above the weird location. The priestess is standing to the left. A figure is standing in the center, and on the floor are many concenctric circles. Another figure is standing to the right. At the top/far end of the shot, I think Buffy is standing. If one looks at the shot long enough, they may be convinced that Principal Wood is the figure to the right, and Spike is the figure in the center of the rings.

(Continued in next post)

(Continued from previous post)

Don't ever tell me how I'm meant to be (tell me how I'm meant to be.)

Cut to a shot of the Potentials training, this time showing the entire gang in one shot. The shot is from behind Kennedy, who is facing the rest of the group. By my count, their are four files of Potentials, with two files of three SIT's and two files of four, leaving a total of 15 Potentials (including Kennedy).

Cut to a close up of Willow screaming as her hair whips around her as though there is a strong wind blowing, event though the shot is in the living room. Willow's eyes aren't black, but her irises have changed to the darker color. The shot is very similar to her scream at the beginning of "Villains" or her "Canary cry" during "Two to Go".

Back in sepia tone, we see a close up of a chain, bolted to the ground, as it is being tugged on.

Pull back to reveal that Buffy is the one tugging on the chain, as she stands in front of a strange cave or rock formation, restrained by chains strapped to both of her wrists.

Back to normal color, we see Principal Wood in an interior setting, showing some fighting moves as it appears that he has something akin to brass knuckles attached to his left hand, but one can see spikes potruding from the knuckles instead of a flat surface.

Cut to another shot of the Potentials training. this shot comes from the side.

We see one more shot of the training montage, this time from behind Kennedy again, showing the entire gang.

Cut to a shot that starts in sepia tone, but fades in to normal color, as we see Buffy standing in front of the rock formation and talking to the priestess.

Buffy: "Tell me something I don't know."

Narrator: An all-new Buffy event, brought to you in part by Acuvue brand contact lenses.

Here is the promo for the next Buffy episode, "Storyteller" :

Narrator: UPN Next Tuesday on an all-new Buffy...

We open with a shot of Buffy patrolling a cemetary at night. We start with a shot of her doing a back flip off of a tombstone.

Cut to a shot of Andrew in the cemetary, holding a camcorder in front of him as he slowly walks towards some action (presumably Buffy's fight).

Cut to a shot of Buffy fighting some human-looking monster or vampire, with the shot from behind the vampire towards Buffy. Buffy turns and delivers a spin-kick.

Pull out to a medium shot from the side where we see Buffy "kick" her opponent.

Narrator: You know what's wrong with all those home video shows?

We see a shot that appears to be the monitor of the camcorder, with a smaller field of view surrounded by brackets. At the bottom of the screen is a title - SLAYER CAM. The monitor dissolves from a snowy picture to resolve into a shot of Buffy standing befoer the Chapman tombstone.

Cut to an interior shot, focusing on Andrew. We see him holding up the camcorder and focusing on the monitor. One of the SIT's is visible behind him. This is probably in the living room.

Cut to a SLAYER CAM shot. This is in the basement, and is directly focused on Spike. (Spike is wearing the duster). He looks angry and yells at Andrew while he flicks his cigarette at him.

Spike: "Sod off!"

We now switch to a shot in the kitchen, where Andrew is recording the action. Xander is leaning up agains one of the cabinets and is eating cereal straight from the box while Andrew focuses in on him. Willow is seen standing next to them.

Switch to SLAYER CAM mode, where we pass by Willow and then see Xander chomping on the cereal.

Narrator: Nobody actually dies.

Cut to a shot in the living room, where the gang is assembled. Buffy is seated in front of Andrew, holding his camera. Willow is standing to her left, holding some glowing object. I think it might be Spike standing to her right.

Buffy: "Stop it, or I'm going to smash this camera over your head."

Reverse the shot to see Andrew seated on the couch, looking up at Willow.

Cut to a SLAYER CAM shot, this time perhaps an imaginary one of Buffy pouring some "Wheatflakes" cereal in a bowl while she winks at the camera as her hair blows dramatically back.

Cut to a different SLAYER CAM shot, this time apparently in the basement of the school where the Seal of Danzilthar is. We see Andrew(?) is holding Buffy's arms from behind while Dawn rushes towards her. Buffy brings up her foot and kicks Dawn, sending her backwards. Kennedy rushes forward to help.

Narrator: Not on Buffy. She's making America's deadliest home video.

Switch to a shot of Andrew holding his camcorder as he stands in front of the school basement wall. Light is coming from a source in front of him (behind our camera angle) as he focuses the camera on the scene.

Reverse to s SLAYER CAM shot, where we see Buffy standing in front of the basement wall as she pulls out a knife from behind her back and brings it up menacingly.

Cut to a shot of Andrew talking to Buffy. This shot is focused on Andrew and is from behind Buffy.

Andrew: "Please don't kill me."

Reverse the shot to show Buffy moving to her right and grabbing Andrew by the left shoulder, then reverse back to see Buffy spin Andrew around so that she is behind his back.

Cut to a shot of Buffy holding Andrew as he leans forward, perhaps over the Seal. Buffy has the knige out and looks as if she is ready to stab Andrew.

Zoom to a close up of Buffy.

Buffy: "It might save the world."

Pull back to see the same shot of Buffy holding a leaning Andrew, but this time the area is all dark, then a bright light comes on from a source in front of them. Andrew has a look of terror on his face as though he is screaming.

Narrator: An all-new Buffy, UPN next Tuesday at 8, 7 Central.

Cue the Buffy logo, only as if the logo were caught on video.

Grr. Arrgh.

A graphic appears on the screen: 10 ALL NEW EPISODES.

Cut to a shot of Faith dancing wildly. This may be a shot from "Five by Five".

Switch to a long angle, where we see Faith running across the screen. This looks like an exterior setting She runs in front of a large, hand-made banner that says "Welcome Faith"

Intercut that scene with the dancing scene again.

Back to Faith running in front of the banner. It looks as if she is carrying a sword or small bow in her hand as she runs.

Cut to a shot of the shrouded sun. Cracks appear in the black mass covering it up, and it appears that sunlight is breaking through it. The scene flashes to a white screen, then fades to black.

Cut to a shot of Faith, this time in the Hyperion office. She is turning towards the camera as though she is about to launch an attack on somebody off-screen.

Cut back to the location with the scaffolding. We see, from behind Angelus, Faith land a right cross to Angelus' cheek.

Reverse angle to behind Faith as we see Angelus reel from Fath's punch.

Flash to white, and fade in to reveal Angelus holding a shotgun in front of him and pointing it downwards.

Reverse to an angle behind Angelus, where we see Faith laid out on the floor in front of him, as she tries to scurry back away from the shotgun.

Here is the promo breakdown for next week's Angel epsiode, "Orpheus" :

Narrator: Next Wednesday on the WB...

We open with a shot of Faith, lying down on a bed in the Hyperion. The shot is from the side, and her eyes are closed. Her brow is furrowed (but not in a vampire way). To be honest, it looks as if she is having a bad dream.

Overlap this shot with a shot of Faith, in the building where she fought Angelus, collapsing to the ground,.

Narrator: As one Slayer's soul departs, a new champion enters.

Cut to a shot of Angelus, standing in the Hyperion lobby, just in front of the door to the street. It is dark outside. The camera moves in for a close up as Angelus stares at something off-screen.

Fade to white, then fade in on a shot of Fred, seated at the lobby desk, holding one open book in her hands while she looks at another open book on the desk. She hears something and looks up and to her right, towards the weapons cabinet and the garden doors. The camera follows the direction of her gaze.

Overlap that shot with a shot of Willow standing inside the lobby, just in front of the garden doors.

Willow: "I think you need a witch."

The shot of Willow jumps closer to focus on her face as a slight smile appears.

Wesely (OS): "Willow!?!"

Cut to a shot of Willow holding out her left arm and hand as though casting a spell or creating some magical force. She is standing in the middle of the lobby, while Fred and Connor stand close to her, to her left. Willow's hair blows back a little from the magical power, and the whole scene starts to shake.

Narrator: Alyson Hannigan returns to the WB.

Pull back and up to show the lobby from above. We see Willow standing in the middle, holding her arms downward, as though drawing power from the ground. Connor and Fred are standing next to the circular couch thing, just to the left and behind Willow. Directly behind Willow, but just a bit further back, is Weseley. The ground shakes and the lights flicker on and off.

Zoom back down to see Willow, Fred, and Connor staring upwards as the light show continues..

Cut to a shot of Evil!Cordy in her bedroom. This is a close up of her looking pissed off.

Evil!Cordy: "You wanna go Glinda..."

Cut to a shot of Faith getting up from her bed, startled at something. Someone is standing next to the bed.

Cut to a shot of Angelus looking down on something, then raise his eyes towards the camera in a very evil glint.

Here is the promo breakdown for next week's Buffy episode, "Lies My Parents Told Me" :

Narrator: The countdown has begun...

We open with a shot of Buffy walking around the room where the seal of Dazalthar is, from the scene where she threatened Andrew in "Storyteller". An orangeish, fiery glow colors the scene. Superimposed over the shot are the words THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN. Also superimposed over the shot is a pocket watch used as a pendulum.

Narrator: ...to Buffy's final hour.

The first words fade out, and then a shot of Buffy in a black leather coat and a long sword fades in. This looks as if it's from "Selfless", when Buffy was going to take on Anya. The pendulum/pocket watch is still superimposed over the shot, and the words BUFFY'S FINAL HOUR are superimposed over the shot.

We get a very brief flash of three ghostly images of a face, in deep shadows. The images glow in kind of a greenish light and looks to consist of three identical faces lined up next to each other. The shot then flashes to its negative image, then back to the "normal" shot before disappearing.

Narrator: Next Tuesday, on an all-new Buffy...

We cut to a shot of Spike, apparently seated, with his head hung down as he brings it up towards the camera, looking very intense. He is wearing a black t-shirt. Superimposed over this is the UPN logo and the words NEXT TUESDAY.

Cut to a shot of Buffy standing in a cemetary at night. She is talking to someone standing near the camera position. She is wearing a black turtleneck sweater.

Buffy (emphatically): "He has a soul."

Cut to a shot of Xander leaning over a seated Spike. This is apparently in the basement, and Spike is seated on his cot. Xander looks to be locking the manacles to Spike's wrist and checking to see that they are secure.

Narrator: If no lock can stop him...

We see the hands of Robin Wood either locking, or most probably unlocking, a padlock that secures a set of wooden cabinet (maybe) doors. Robin has some tape over the knuckles of his left hand.

Narrator: ...no chains can hold him..

We see a shot of Spike, in vamp face, struggling to break free of the chains. These shots are blurred out.

Zoom in on Spike as he shouts and looks as though he breaks free.

Cut to a shot of Spike throwing his cot towards Giles as Giles scrambles out of the way.

Fade over that shot with a shot of Buffy, seated or standing next to Spike in the basement. Spike is in vampface and reaches his right hand out and grabs Buffy by the throat. Buffy reaches up to take his hand off her.

Narrator: ...then the evil in Spike must be destroyed.

Cut to a shot (in black and white) of a wall of crosses, or more properly, a lattice-work of crosses.

Cut to a close up of Spike (in vamp face) lunging at somebody.

Pull back to from behind Spike as we see him fighting Robin Wood. Behind him we can see that the walls are covered with crosses. Robin slams a two-fisted blow into Spike's face.

Reverse to behind Robin as we see Spike staggger from the blow and fall. The wall o'crosses appears to be around the entire room.

Cut to a shot of Robin prying a cross that is nailed to one of the walls. This cross has a bottom that is sharpened into a stake.

Cut to a shot of Spike lying on the floor, in vamp face, but motionless.

Cut to s ahot of Robin bringing the cross/stake downwards towards Spike.

We then see Spike raise his hands up to prevent the cross/stake from stabbing him.

Narrator: An all-new Buffy, UPN next Tuesday at 8, 7 Central.

We end up back with the orangeish shot, this time of Buffy holding a stake. We see the Buffy logo, but underneath it are the words THE FINAL HOURS. Beneath the logo can be seen a clock face and the pocket watch/pendulum.

ELAPSED TIME - 0:20

Here is the promo for next week's Angel episode, "Players" :

Narrator: Next week...

We open with a shot of Cordelia walking down a catwalk that sits above the floor of a warehouse. The place is very gloomy, with very little lighting. It looks similar to the catwalk that Angel and Buffy were watching the Judge and company in BtVS S2 episode "Surprise".

Narrator: ...the deception continues.

Cut to a close up of high-heels coming down some narrow steps in the warehouse.

Cut to a shot from behind somebody, directed towards Cordelia as she approaches. She is holding a stake in her right hand and has it poised to strike.

Narrator: But for how long?

Cut to a close up of Wesley's face. He appears to be in the Hyperion lobby.

Cut to a shot of Fred, standing in front of the office bookcase, as she twirls around to face whatever is at the camera position.

Cut to a shot of Angel, leaning over the second-floor railing, looking down into the lobby of the Hyperion. He is holding a book as he turns towards the direction of the camera.

Cordelia (whispering): "Everything happens for a reason."

Cut the Angel logo.
