I am rewatching the series premiere of Reaper, and it was the father that was dying. So, I'm sticking to the theory that the Devil's fun twist on "don't let me die" was to make the father immortal in some way.

Hmm, I wonder if the pages his dad destroyed in the contract were just references to this, or also included some clause for how Sam could get his soul back that would be detrimental to his father. If this turns out to be the case (which looks likely).

That makes sense. Maybe if dad forfeits his immortality, Sam goes free. Although, I don't think Sam would let him do that. In the premiere Sam refuses to forfeit his mother's life in exchange for not having to do the devil's bidding, despite his mother saying it was ok.

I don't think so, his dad seems to care about him, and that's not parent behavior. I think that maybe the price for Dad's (unasked for) immortality was that Mom had to carry the Devil's child.
also, thanks Jon.

I really don't want Sam to be the devil's son.

I agree with Vortex. The dad seems to care too much about Sam for his behavior to be purely selfish. There's got to be more to it, and I'll be disappointed if there isn't.

No BSG thoughts? I'm dying to hear what you all have to say about this one.
Awwwww, Adama is going after the woman he loves, and finally admits it.
Things will hit the fan when he finds out he left a Cylon in charge of the fleet. And did Tigh really impregnate Six or was it Baltar? If it's Tigh then isn't that the first actual Cylon-Cylon baby?
Just can't get my head around NewApollo being president and OldApollo being VP. Lee has done nothing to deserve this, seems like a cop out to bring something to end, altough I don't know what.

She's dying anyway... when did he suddenly believe in miracles
Lee has done nothing to deserve this
And wasn't it incredibly transparent what they were leading up to.
