Reaper

[SenseiofCheese]

It isn't getting shown here in Iceland. Yet, at least. So I'm watching it...by other means.

*Whistles*

Reaper may just get renewed, if the above story is to be believed. They cite CW's desire to have a companion show for Supernatural once Smallville ends.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't know it was close to getting canceled. That kind of sucks. It's gotten a lot better lately.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

It seems the whole freak-of-the-week genre is slowly fading away.

 

[cerealkiller182]

But the freak is rarely a focal point like it is in other freak of the week shows

 

[SenseiofCheese]

I know, but to someone who's looking in from the outside it could seem like any other freak of the week show.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Fewer freak-of-the-week shows could only be an improvement. Reaper may have a different villain every week, but its focus is definitely the characters and Sam's interaction with the devil. I wouldn't really count it as a FotW show.

 

[SenseiofCheese]

I think it definitely started out in that vein, but was quick to become something different entirely.

On an unrelated note, I get so pissed off every time Sam turns the Devil down for beer, ice cream or whatever. Man, I would love to hang out with that dude. Especially if I was going to hell for all eternity when I died, it wouldn't hurt having friends in high places when I got there.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, for real. Quit pissing off the guy who's in charge of your afterlife for all eternity.

lol
right,
i think i'd take the beer or ice cream or whatnot just to try to pick that demonic f***er's brain yknow? see what makes that jackass tick lol

cool episode.

I forgot he had that card. That must have hurt the devil. It was borderline martyrdom. The worst kind for the devil, totally humble. Sam prolly wont tell anyone about it. He rarely talks about the specifics when it comes to the devil

I thought the serial killer could be a cool supervillain. I think thats what the show needs. A rival bounty hunter or something. A recurring villain other than the devil.

 

[KenK]

I'm not the only one who has naughty thoughts about the chick from Shaun of the Dead that Ben married so she could get a greencard, am I?

 

[cerealkiller182]

She looks like she gained a lot of weight. Did she get pregnant? I thought i remembered hearing she got hitched recently. She was definitely a cutie in both Shaun of the Dead and Studio 60

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I have never found her attractive. A friend of mine saw the British version of The Office the other day and was like, "Damn, the American version moved way up on the receptionist chick." It was kind of mean, but I couldn't disagree.

 

[LadyVader]

What I wanna know is what the heck is Duala doing in Reaper!? I never pegged her for the comedic type.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She didn't do anything comedic in the episode. She was just there to be the object of Ben's desire.

 

[Sawyer]

I certainly enjoyed seeing Dualla.

Anyone else think that the Devil may have lost his rights to Sam's soul last night ?

He looked worry when Sam used the card to save Greg's ass. When that scene played out I immediately thought of Constantine. Where the devil is about to take Constantine back to hell with him. But because Constantine sacrificed himself to save another. Heaven opened it's door to Constantine.

Nice. I hadnt even thought of that.

Well, in Constantine he sins his way to hell not sell his soul. I think its more about losing his grasp on Sam. The devil tempts Sam to the verge of sin constantly. Plus since the good deeds plan worked I think its more like that. Its like the biggest act of kindness ever.

If the devil lost his rights, the show would be over

 

[LadyVader]

I think that's why the Devil likes Sam. He's special because he's a challenge.

 

[Bastila]

This show is good, over here we just saw the episode with the Devil stopped the rebals from taking over, and well he gots his ice cream as well hehe kind of.....

And looks like Tom might try and kill Sam....


So any news on a season 2? I hope so this is one of the best new shows I've seen I love it.

I agree, I think the devil was just dismayed because Sam is learning how to play his game and avoid corrupting himself. That's the whole point of this episode: Sam is tempted, falters, regains his moral righteousness, and comes out better for it.

 

[frayzr]

Are they gonna bring Cady back into it? or is that storyline done? I think the whole story of her perhaps being devils daughter definitly had legs. Also the scene way back when Sam's dad is ripping pages out of the contract hasnt be readdressed yet.

Huge fan of the show and hope the standard remains.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She's "finding herself" or whatever. I bet she does eventually come back, and when she learns that Sam is with Andi, she goes ****ing crazy.
