\\nMitch\\u2019s Musings:
\\n-This week Mitch teases what\'s to come in Buffy 4x04, "Fear, Itself," and Angel 1x04, "I Fall to Pieces."
\\n-Buffy - Someone is going to be really brave and maybe they will take on adapting The Lion King in a nightmare realm with spiders and heights.
\\n-Angel - We have another perfect chance for an Angel music video, and someone falls apart into dozens of pixels.
