Cut to a head shot of Angel, standing in an office (lobby?). He is looking downward, then his eyes grow wider as a glow grows stronger. The camera is doing that shaky thing like it is an earthquake or something.

Cut back to Spike in the lobby, only this time he is bent over, as in pain.

Here is the promo that aired for the season premiere of Angel on the WB this Wednesday night:

Narrator: 2 Weeks from tonight.

We open with part of the power shot from "Fool For Love"/"Darla", where we see Angel and Spike (Darla is behind them, but out of focus), strolling through the Chinese streets during the Boxer rebellion.

Narrator: Theirs was a brotherhood stained in blood.

Switch to a close up of Angel in vamp-face (and period wig (shudder)).

Spike (VO): aka William the Bloody.

Cut to a shot of Spike standing in the gypsy family's wagon just after he massacred them.

Fade into a shot of sunrise over Los Angeles.

Cut to a shot of Angel from the power shot in "Darla".

Narrator: Now, centuries later...

Cut to a shot of the sun quickly setting.

Cut to an aerial shot of LA at night.

Angel (VO): What do you want from me?

Cut to a shot of Spike walking through an office lobby. He is wearing his duster.

Narrator: ...Angel has found salvation in the living.

Cut to a shot of Angle walking into an office (at Wolfram & Hart), during daytime. There are many, many windows in the office and there are no curtains visible, but the view of other buildings is.

Cut to a shot of someone (presumably Angel) swinging from a rope towards another building. He is at what appears to be at a high distance from the ground. The shot is at night (and looks very cool, from this transcriber's point of view).

Cut to a shot of Angel leaning against his desk in his office. A weapons cache is visible behind him as he rubs his chin and talks.

Angel: "We're going to change things."

Cut to Angle (dressed in the business attire) entering a darkened room where many people are standing and talking, like a cocktail party. Spike is standing next to Angel.

Cut to a shot of a brightly-lit corridor of some institution, where many (I count 6) soldier types with rifles are running around to set up an attack or something.

We then see a shot of Angel and Spike talking to each other in a lab of some kind.

Spike: "Another vampire with a soul."

Inside the lab, we see Angel (I think) do some kind of Matrix-y maneuver where he runs towards and up a wall, then spins and kicks some soldier-type in the face.

Narrator: The other is lost somewhere in between.

We see a shot of Spike standing in the doorway of an office, peering over the threshold to see if the coast is clear as the camera zooms in on him.

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

Here is part 1 of the promo for next week's Angel premiere, "Conviction" :

The whole promo is backed by a driving rock guitar soundtrack.

We open on an aerial shot of LA at dusk as the camera quickly zooms around the central business district.

Cut to a shot of the sun quickly setting in the west.

Flash to an aerial shot of LA at night. Amongst the buildings, a bright light is visible in the sky.

Narrator: In the City of Angels...

Cut to a shot of Angel on a rooftop at night. He is looking down on the streets, and then turns his head over his right shoulder back towards the camera.

Switch to a shot of a seedy-looking guy talking to a blonde girl in an alley.

Narrator: no good deed...

Pull out to a shot from above the buildings, as we see a figure leap from the top of one building, across the alley, to another building. The figure is silouhetted against another building that is lit from below.

Cut to a close up of the seedy man and the wonam in the alley. The woman looks worried, like she is about to scream (or laugh?).

Narrator: ...goes unnoticed.

Cut to a shot from the ground, looking up at an angle towards a building around the alley. We can see a darkly clad figure swinging on a rope or cable down towards the ground (and the camera location). The figure casts a shadow on the wall next to him.

The seedy man appears to be attacking the woman. The swinging figure hurtles into the scene, plowing into the guy and causing him to flip over. The woman is huddled against the wall of the nearest building.

Switch to a shot from behind the seedy guy, as we see Angel (facing the camera) rear back to throw a punch. He clobbers the guy with a right cross.

Flash to a negative of the next shot, then it resolves into a shot of a guy in a suit pointing towards the left of the scene, while another guy is taking pictures with a professional flash camera. This appears to be in the alley.

Reverse to a shot of Angel standing in the alley (dressed in black suti coat and black shirt). He is blinking from the camera flash.

Pull back to see Angel standing and turning towards his right and back. The cameraman walks in the direction that Angel is looking, while a third guy is standing past Angel and looking in the same place.

Switch to a shot of Angel standing in the alley, talking to the blond girl and looking at a book or newspaper. A dark-haired girl is standing next to the blonde girl.

Blonde woman: "You did this for publicity?"

Quick cut to a shot of Angel kicking down a door to a warehouse or office.

Cut back to Angel talking to the blonde woman.

Angel: "I help the helpless."

Switch to a shot of the main lobby of Wolfram and Hart. Angel is walking towards the camera location, with a file folder in his hand. He is reading it while he is walking, then closes it. To the left and in front of him is Wesley. Wesley is wearing his ordinary shirt. Behind him is Gunn, looking sharp in a very nice suit.

Switch to a shot of Angel, standing in his office and drinking coffe as a blonde woman stands in front of him, looking on.

Narrator: So it's a good thing that Angel's well connected

Cut to a shot of an office lobby, where we see Spike un-dissolving from dust. He is holding his right arm up and he is screaming. One could theorize that he is in a similar position as when he was dissolving to dust near the end of "Chosen".

Cut to a shot of an office or hallway. Angle is closest, looking in the direction of the camera. He looks might pissed off. Wesley (sporting a tan leather jacket, perhaps) is behind him and looks on with concern.

Angel : "Spike."

Cut to a shot of Spike in the office, hunched over in pain.

Switch to (presumably) Spike's view of the office. We see ablurry image of Angel looking on, then the scene swings to the left to Wesley, then skips over and clears up on a shot of Fred. Somebody's right shoulder in a dark pinstripe coat is standing to Fred's left. The anlge swings around again and gets blurry, with another shot of Wesley appearing, then we swing back in the other direction blurrily to Fred, then we see that Gunn is the person next to Fred in the pinstripes, where it focuses again.

Narrator: It's a partnership made in-

We then see Harmony come charging into the office.

Harmony: "-hell are you doing here?"

Switch back to a shot of Spike, hunched over and reeling from the experience.

Flash a very quick arieal shot of LA in the daytime, then cut to an office scene. Angel is sitting or leaning on a desk and is looking towards Gunn, who is standing at the camera location and is talking to Angel.

Angel: "I'm in a meeting."

Cut to a shot of Spike, standing in front of some interior office windows.

Spike: "Oh I'm sorry,"

The shot stretches to a funhouse tall and skinny view, then snaps back to normal.

Spike; "I didn't care."

This next shot is a bit complicated to describe. In the office lobby, near the elevator doors, we see Angel grabbing another guy by the neck while the guy is standing behind him. Angel has actually run up the wall between the elevators, and does a complete flip while still holding on the the guy behind him. Angel ends up landing behind the guy and taking him down. Visible in the background as this is happening, we see people in suits on the ground floor looking on from office doorways, while we also can see that a second floor has a view of the lobby and people are standing next to the railing, looking down at the action.

Spike (VO): "I bet you're loving this."

Cut to ashot of an office or a classroom, where some guy wearing a woolen ski mask is attacking Angel, but he does the "run up the wall, turn, and kick the guy in the face" move that was in the previous promo.

Cut to a shot of Angel seated in his office chair.

Angel: "A dream come true.

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

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

Narrator: Next week, on the WB Wednesday...

After seeing the WB Wednesday logo, we open on Spike, in Angel's office, hunched over in pain after he re-materialized.

Gunn: "This is Spike?"

We cut to a shot from Spike's point of view as he whirls around, looking at the MoG in the office.

Wesley: "He's a vampire,..."

Spike first looks at Fred (with Gunn's right shoulder to her left), then the shot cuts back to Spike, still in pain and looking very puzzled. The shot switches back to his point of view as we see Lorne looking on.

The shot focuses back on Spike, as he straightens up and looks pissed off as he stares at somebody off-camera.

Wesley: "...second only to-"

A close up of Angel appears. He looks a bit angry himself.

Angel: "-me."

Flash, then cut to Angel (in the driver's seat) and Spike sitting in a car. The shot is from the passenger side, closest to Spike. He is leaning back in the seat and talking to Angel, who is looking straight ahead and has yet another pissed-off look on his face.

Spike: "This'll be fun, eh? You and me together again."

Cut to a shot of Angel standing in what looks to be an office lobby of some kind, wiht red leather chairs in the background. Angel is waving his arms and hunching his shoulders in an almost "I give up" pose.

Cut to a shot of Spike standing in front of the interior windows of an office, as he leans against the wall and looks on with his eyebrows raised.

Switch to a shot of Angel kicking the doors of an office down.

Cut to another shot of Angel pummeling some guy in an office.

Cut to a reaction shot of Spike, looking on in indifference.

Narrator: There's a new dream team.

We see Angel and Spike walking down a corridor at Wolfram & Hart, with Angel out in front and Spike a bit further back.

Cut to a shot of Angel's office, as we see Angel in the foreground, with Gunn a little behind and to his right, and Wesley standing next to Gunn, directly behind Angel. Angel is talking to somebody off-camera.

Angel: "Out of my chair!"

Reverse to a shot of Spike seated in Angel's chair behind his desk. Three metal buckets are on the desk in front of him. There buckets look like the interior has been smeared with blood.

Spike: "Make me."

Cut to a shot of Angel and Spike standing together, apparently in somebody's home, in the foyer.

Angel: "I'm from Wolfram & Hart."

Reverse to a shot of a formally dressed man in a bow tie (perhaps a butler) as he wrinkles his brow. The sound stops for a beat.

Reverse back to Angel and Spike.

Spike: "I'm his date."

Angle rolls his eyes at this.

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

Cue the new Angel logo.

Grr. Arrgh.
