well ... this is kind of a good news/bad news time for me. Bad news - my Pilates classes have been discontinued. Good news - I'll be home in time to watch Pushing Daisies.

Boxed Set, Vol. IV: It's always suicide-mission this, save-the-planet that.
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I'll be in Wednesday night classes until next July! Thank goodness for TiVos, Media Center PCs and less legit ways of getting to see the episodes....

Reaper: really curious about Sam's dad burning pages of the contract. I mean, does he just want Sam to not read them? Does he think that if they're not in the contract that somehow they won't apply?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I like Reaper, but I'm getting seriously annoyed at the whole "yeah, let's keep the GIRL in the dark (nevermind Sam's two doofus friends have been in on it from the start)" shtick.

I thought that the Devil strongly suggested that Ben and Sock were in as much danger as Sam's family.

I think that the dad didn't tell Sam everything, and that's why he was so desparate to talk to the devil. There's more to the contract that meets the eye, I think. He burned the page because he didn't want Sam to know, not because he thought it would invalidate the contract.

And that was a very interesting thing for him to do - - it's about time that they broke their formula.
Fun to see Aaron Douglas and Jill Teed in this.

Vonnie is me on this. I stopped watching* about halfway through, when Sam promised he'd pick up Andi at seven. I had a very strong suspicion that something would happen to prevent the meeting and Sam would once again be forced to lie. It seems my suspicions were confirmed.
I don't buy that as a form of narrative tension or humor. I'm just not feeling any attachment to the characters at this point. I adore watching Ray Wise, but that may not be enough to keep me watching the show unless things change.
* I have it on tape. I may go back and watch later, depending.
