the art department decided to take an element from all major weapons and put them together--so it has parts of a scythe, a knife, an axe, a mace, etc.
When did the art dept. design it? The Fray axe has been around for what? A year now?
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
A .little info about the Scythe--Jane told me they had always called it a scythe and thought of it as such, but the art department decided to take an element from all major weapons and put them together--so it has parts of a scythe, a knife, an axe, a mace, etc.
Sounds like the art department may have seen a few too many Leatherman Multi-Tool ads. Still, I like the idea, and I think the whole "Scythe" thing is meant to tie into "The Harvest", the Grim Reaper, etc., etc.

Don't know when, Jon. I think the scythe part is the handle.

Also wondering what the Grr Argh monster will have to say.
I would love it to be "Bye-bye."
Though I guess it's not bye for ME...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not even thinking about the Grr. Arrgh. guy. The previouslies alone are going to kill me.

yeah--I meant that the designers used a scythe handle, um, snath, in their design. BTW--I love that word. snath snath snath.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Snath? This is why I love my Buffistas.
Cindy, I see your point about re-watching--but I'm kind of saving the rewatching as my consolation for no new episodes after the finale. One fan was contemplating watching an episode a week, from the beginning all through, so she could do retrospective reviews, and I like that idea too.

Snath is a great word. I assumed that the Buffy art dept. just copied the design from the comic book. If the comic artist copied the design from the art dept. then that means that Joss had them design something for episodes that wouldn't be filmed for over a year. If that's true, I'm impressed!
