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 […]

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: 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 […]

Reaper Discussion: Episode 1.11 - Hungry for Fame

Like I said in the episode recap, I liked this episode. I thought it steered clear of the usual quagmires that a new type of show, especially a comedy sub-sub-genre, can fall into: mainly a lot of repetition, the same sight gags every week, the same near-miss love stories (okay, it steers close to that […]
