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 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?

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.

SGA's been renewed for a fifth season. Woot!

I am not too worried about Sam's friends: Ben & Sock because they willingly put themselves in harm's way every day. So it is probably appropriate they are in danger (from Satan) because they directly are in danger anyway.

Sam's brother doesn't know shit - but I wonder when that is going to change.

Finally, I am with sumi, Sam's situation suddenly became very interesting to me now knowing that the father has a whole lot to hide.

I don't like the keeping Andi in the dark, not on any philosophical level, but because I'm annoyed by the stupid situations. Why doesn't he come up with someting like "I got a part time job working for this rich guy, and sometimes he calls me on short notice, so I have to bail on plans or whatever" or does that make too much sense?

seriously. or...maybe he should just flat out realize that maybe since he is a henchman for the devil that a relationship might not be the greatest idea.

I think that he realizes that, but he can't quite let it go.
