I can agree with the rest, but not with this. The axe has been set up for so long in Fray that it was a TOTAL geek-out moment for me when I saw it.
For those of us who don't read Fray, it was an asspull. (or would that be axepull?)
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
One hour, but with a better show-to-commercial ratio than normal, thanks to all of that Acuvue sponsorship.
Has there been any "official" confirmation of this? Several people here have been saying it but giving no cites.
(not that I don't trust the buffista hive mind, but I'm..... skeptical)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I didn't mind the axe. I did mind the seemingly pointless and content free Sister Galadriel Natter Guardian. A weapon I can buy -- a whole guild/organization/girl scout troop/whatev dedicated to looking after the slayers that haven't done jack in 7 seasons and don't have any actual advice to give before they get their neck snapped? NSM.
Besides, the axe is KEWL and it sings. I like a singing weapon, meself. Makes slaying cheerier somehow.
not going to bother straightening out my unclear and inaccurate pronouns there. so sue me in buffista grammar court.

"Go that way really fast, if something gets in your way turn!"
It's all about misdirection. Besides didn't she say something about hiding because of the Watchers or was I not listening to closely at that point?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Gotta agree with this.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I'm into the idea of the scythe, it's just that Fray and Buffy are two very different media. Even xovers between AtS and BtVS require some bit of explanation in the receiving show, unless the character originated there. Yeah, lots of devoted Buffy fans read Fray, but ME can't assume that they do.
As for the ending scene, right now the only way I can think of that would make it better would be if Spike's next words were, "Away from my man, bitch! See, 5 words or less!"

A-yup.
And, if the Slayers were created by the Shadow Men who became the Watchers, but the Order of Annoying Exposition Talky Meat Redshirts came FIRST, how did the FREAKING ORDER KNOW WHEN WHO HOW WHERE WHAT AND WHY? If the "Last Pure Demon" was slaughtered there, WHAT ABOUT THE EVIDENCE OF PREVIOUS ASCENDY THINGYS, LEADING TO THE VULCAN SLAUGHTHER??? Hmm, hmm????
ARGH!
Sister Galadriel Natter Guardian was the ass pull, not the axe. For the love of Mike, someone shoulda handed them a CONTINUITY BIBLE.
