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

Here's the promo for next week's episode of Buffy, entitled "Beneath You"

Narrator: Next Tuesday, it's an all-new Buffy the Guidance Counselor...

We open on a daylight shot of Buffy, Dawn, and Xander in Xander's car.

Xander: "A spankin' new Hellmouth High."

Flash cut to Buffy, in the principal's office, as she peers out through the window blinds. She turns to the principal, smiling.

Buffy: "Can I give detention?"

Cut to Principal Wood, who reacts with a raised eyebrow (cue goofy sound effect).

Narrator: You know, kids drop in...

Flash cut to a night shot, where we see a group of people (Dawn and her friends? Xander, Buffy, and Dawn? Who knows?) flying through the air over a chain-link fence, then land in a garbage bin.

Narrator: ...talk about whatever comes up.

Cut to Dawn (I think), standing in a standard Sunnydale alley at night, as something explodes out of the ground behind her.

Cut to a close up of the thing coming up from the ground. It looks like a relative of the Hellmouth spawn, being basically a worm with a square opening and teet at each of the four sides of the opening. As it opens its mouth wide, it resembles Audrey a bit.

Cut to a shot of a woman screaming.

Flash cut (intercut with glowing celtic cross symbols) to Dawn in the back seat of Xander's car, during the day, talking to those up front.

Dawn: "See, this is why I don't want you talking to my friends."

Cut to a reaction shot of Buffy, then back to Dawn.

Cut to a shot of somone walking their little dog down a Sunnydale sidewalk at night. We see the ground rise up in a path behind them, similar to when Bugs Bunny goes traveling.

Cut to a close up of the dog-walker, and we see that it's the woman we saw screaming earlier. The dog leash has been yanked and she looks as if she is being pulled by the leash.

Reverse to a shot behind the woman, as we see now that nothing is on the leash (insert burping noise here)

Narrator: An all-new Buffy.

Cut to Spike twirling a pole as he walks down an alleyway and talks towards the camera while walking away. He is twirling the pole similar to how he twirled the pool cue in "Fool For Love".

Spike: "Bring the wife and kiddies. Come and see the show."

Narrator: Next Tuesday, at 8, 7 central, on UPN.

Cue the Buffy logo.

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

Here is the breakdown of the promo for the next Firefly episode, "Our Mrs. Reynolds":

Narrator: Next Friday....

Open with a shot of Serenity blasting into space.

Cut to a shot of Mal walking around a large cargo bin in the hold.

Mal: "Aaaghh!"

Pan the camera through the hold until it settle on a very pretty red-headed girl (RHG).

Mal (OS): "Who the hell are you?"

Flash cut, then open on RHG lying on a bed in a cabin, presumably naked and covered with a sheet.

Narrator: A spaceship stowaway will heat things up...

Cut to a shot of Mal, looking on (presumably at the RHG).

Pan out to a wide shot, where we see that Mal and the RHG are, in fact, in Mal's cabin. Mal is standing at his doorway, while the RHG sits up in the bed, modestly covering herself with the sheet. She pats the space on the bed beside her.

RHG: "I made the bed warm for you."

Cut to a shot from behind the bed, towards Mal, then cut to a close up of him.

Mal: "It looks, uh, warm."

Cut to a shot of the ship flying through space.

Narrator: ...and turns the crew upside down....

Cut to a high shot down into the cargo bay. We see most of the crew standing and looking at the RHG, as she is standing in front of a large cargo bin. The RHG is opposite the camera placement. Mal is directly opposite her, standing a few feet away. Zoe is coming up on our left. Jayne towers over the RHG, standing to her left right next to her. Simon is behind and to the back of them, having just come down the stairs. Kaylee is standing almost directly opposite of Zoe, while I think Wash luks back way off to our right.

Cut to a close up of Simon, as he looks at the girl, then turns towards the camera.

Cut over to Mal, looking on.

Mal: "I don't know this girl!"

Cut to Jayne, delicately (for him) feeling the material of the girl's grament.

Jayne: "Can I know her?"

Flash cut, then cut to a close up of the RHG talking to Inara.

RHG: "I was curious about you, ever since I saw you."

Reverse angle from behind RHG towards Inara to get a reaction shot.

Cut bakc to an extreme close-up of the RHG.

Flash cut, then we see Inara in a darkened cabin, talking to others.

Inara: "She tried to seduce me too."

Reverse to a shot of the rest of the darkened cabin, where we see Mal, Simon, and Jayne (I think) reacting to Inara's statement.

Cut to a shot of Book, in a lighted cabin, talking to somebody off-screen.

Book: "Well, isn't that....special."

Flash cut, then cut back to the scene in Mal's cabin, only this time the RHG has walked up close to Mal, as if to kiss him. Oh, and she is naked.

Narrator: It's a wild, all-new Firefly...

Cut to a shot of Jayne cocking what looks like a large, autmatic weapon as he stands in the cargo hold. (No way I cannot make that sound porny).

Cut to Inara, wearing something different than in the other scenes, standing on deck and then passing out cold.

Cut to a shot of the RHG talking to Wash in a different part of the ship.

RHG: "Make this night what it should be."

Reverse to see a close up of the RHG, very close to Wash, as she looks up at him.

Reverse back to Wash, who has backed awasy from the RHG. His eyes are almost bugging out.

Wash: "Did it get very hot in here?"

Flash cut, the we see a quick shot of Book peering into a darkened corridor.

Narrator: "...with a twist you will never expect."

Cut to a shot of the RHG running across the screen. She appears to be on the second tier of the cargo bay.

Cut to a shot of some place on the ship with lots of display scopes and such, as the set explodes around Mal and Wash, I believe.

Cut to a reactio shot of Kaylee, as she appears to be startled by something and brings her hand up to her wide-open mouth.

Kaylee: "Huh!:

Cut the Serenity blasting into space.

Narrator: Next Friday on Fox.

Cut to a graphic WILLOW'S HOME!

Cut to a shot in someone's living room. In the center of the shot, seated and looking as though she is casting a spell, is someone who resembles, but I can't say for certain, Anya. She is wearing a blue sweater. Back behind her and to her left is Willow, brooding. She is wearing a tan sweater over a white blouse. In the foreground of the shot, seated below "Anya", is another girl with lighter hair than the others. It could be Buffy, it could be Dawn, it could be somebody else.

Cut to a reaction shot, where we see Willow (now seated on achair closer to "Anya") gets up and reacts to...

Cut to a shot where we see (presumably) Willow's feet stomping out a fire that has just arisen on a spell mat or something on the floor.

Here is the promo for the next Firefly episode, "Jaynestown" (I believe written by Ben Edlund):

Crowd: "To Jayne!"

Jayne reacts to this acclaimation:

Jayne: 'To me!"

and he downs his drink.

Cut to a close up of a seated Wash, talking to everyone around him.

Wash: "We gotta go to a crappy town where I"m a hero."

Narrator: But not everyone thinks he's the toast of the town.

Back to a daytime shot, as we see the people gathered in front of the statue and looking at Jayne. A gunshot rings out, and the crowd parts.

Cut to Jayne, standing in front of the statue, reacting to the gunshot.

Cut to a close up of the man wielding the gun. He has a long, dark beard, and the right side of his face is scarred extensively.

Bearded One: "Well hey there Jayne, you inbred dunghead."

Cut to a reaction shot of Jayne. Note that behind him at the edge of the clearing there appear to be four militia types standing around and holding guns as they look on.

Jayne: "YOu here to talk me to death buddy, is that the plan?"

Cut back to the Bearded One, as he raises his shotgun and pumps it, leveling it towards Jayne.

Bearded One: "This is the plan."

The scene fades out as we hear a gunshot.
