Souls I’d Like to See on Reaper

Bret Harrison is giddy with glee over the soul ideas! Photo: Newscom.
We’ve had the slimy soul, the dusty soul, the retro souls, the invisible soul, and the fiery soul. We haven’t seen the big names in the soul guest stars, yet. Though I’d hate to see Reaper do anything that would indicate jumping the shark, […]

Reaper Discussion: 1.17 The Leak

There’s only one more episode of Reaper, this season. I keep saying this, I know, but the writing has been so much better, since they’ve been able to explore new territory. The Leak is definitely another good episode, with plenty of interesting reveals.
This is sort of spoilery, so, if you’re

Although they got Andrew Airlie […]

Reaper Writers Step It Up in Post-Strike Episodes

Reaper fans worried a bit, early on, that the episodes were tending to cover terra a little too cognita. During the first several episodes, the network put the pressure on the writers to make each episode accessible for new viewers. So, we tended to see the same information exposed for the first few weeks. By […]

Reaper Discussion: Episode 1.15 - Coming to Grips

Another great Reaper episode. Here are some discussion points to bring up at the water cooler. Feel free to leave comments with your thoughts on this episode.

So, now we know why Ben is the only one who hasn’t had a girlfriend.

Reaper Discussion: 1.14 - Rebellion

I liked tonight’s episode. What did you think? Here are just a few discussion points?
Avert your eyes, if you haven’t watched yet, and aren’t a big spoiler fan.

Tic Tacs?
Will we see too many ploys to keep Sam and Andi together, despite his inability to tell her about the contract?
Where is this darn contract and Sam’s […]

Reaper and the Current Geek Phenomenon

Guardian (U.K.) writer, Stephen Armstrong, takes a look at the new crop of American shows hitting the UK’s somewhat less sunny shores, the Pacific Northwest notwithstanding. In fact, he concentrates on the intriguing observation that some of the most successful new scripted shows from the U.S. feature nerds –Chuch, Pushing Daisies, Big Bang Theory, and […]

Reaper: Sam Oliver Rising

The other night’s episode of Reaper, Acid Queen, hit some very high notes for the CW’s hit show. The new repertoire for our boys in pursuit of the Devil’s missing children may be the thing to help this show see a sophomore season, and not just a sophomoric one.
First, Steve and Tony, played by Michael […]

Reaper Discussion: Episode 1.13 - Acid Queen

This was another enjoyable story. I love the Steve and Tony arc. This is funny stuff, with the quirkiness that Reaper fans love. Sock is extending outside of his “slob friend” mode again, too!
Okay, a little discussion to see what you thought, and what you think is coming up:

Why is Sam so special?
What will Steve […]

Reaper Discussion Points: 1.12 - Unseen

Unseen seems to have opened some more doors for new future plot branches.

What is up with Cady? Did the glasses prove that she’s not evil?
Is Cady really not evil, or “tainted” somehow?
If Cady’s not “of the Devil”, why do weird, and unfortunate, things happen around her?
What’s up with replacing their collective parents with the gay […]
