The Sycthe

[dragonyphoenix]

I've been watching S7 - for the second time ever and the first time since 2009 - to get a better understanding of the Scythe arc and I just realized something.  The First has the Scythe, doesn't he? Damn. That is so lame.

And by lame I mean: There's no interesting arc I can work for my story. Although tht does mean I can make up pretty much any backstory for how they find it that I want.

Apparently it first appeared in the comic, Fray, which is generations after the end of BtVS. In Buffy the Scythe shows up and is used pretty quickly. I expected more of a leadup. We first see it three episodes from the end and even then only at the very end of the episode.
