    I still like this show a lot, and will continue to watch it, but I must say, that it seems to me like it's getting to be really obvious what is going to happen in these episodes. It is just the same that happens: Sam still wants to get out of the deal with the devil, his parents are still acting weird, Sam still has problems with Andi, and so on... It's still hilarious, but I wish something new would happen. I hope that is what the final scene meant, where Sam's dad rips a page out of the contract, only to burn it. What big secret doesn't he want Sam to know? I really hope this is going to be a developing storyline...moreless

    So far I've enjoyed watching Reaper, it's silly, lightweight and full of cliches! But this episode takes it all a step too far.

    I'm sick of Sam trying to get out of the Devil's contract, every episode it is the same! Seriously dude, accept it!

    The villian in this episode seemed like a cross between an old Scooby Doo fairground ghoul and a 1970s Doctor Who creature: big green slimy people! Honestly, which dim witted person thought of this?!!? Yes, I know it was meant to be a parody but it didn't come across as one, you wanted to laugh at it not with it.

    This episode is definetly below average and if it weren't for the intriguing final scene I'd proabably give up on this show.moreless

  • Sock: All right, let's talk consistency here. We're talking about a dude made from slime. What is it, snot-like? Spit? Household slime? What?

    Sam is delivered a copy of the contract his parents signed, but it is thousands of pages long - and in Latin - so his dad offers to help translate it. Meanwhile, Sam finds he can't stop slipping and falling when he walks and realizes it is connected to the latest demon. With Josie's help, the trio discover the escaped soul is the former head of a chemical company that dumped toxic waste. Well Reaper is just a great show to watch, relax and enjoy and the last couple of episodes have been great, it is great to watch, I like this show and it is building up to be one of my favourites.moreless

    An awesome episode, like always! And an exciting one at that!!

    Sock: All right, listen to me. I'm not advocating violence here, but if you need to, uh..take care of Greg, I know some people.
    Sam: Yeah? I know the Devil. I think that trumps your people. That kills me every time!

    I love the sweater! Poor Ben. Attacked by a giant slime ball and freed by used Kitty Litter.

    What the Hell does Sam's dad thinking?! Ripping out pieces of his son's contract! Things are not going to be pretty when the Devil finds out...

    Boy, can Andi fool Ted. The hit your car thing...priceless.moreless

    • Vessel: a sweater Edit
    • The contract that Sam gets from the demon at the start of the episode shows that the contract itself is quite large. Far too large to ever fit in his locker at work, where it is shown later. Edit
    • When Sam exits the sewers where the Devil showed him the victims of the latest demon, he is shown moving the manhole cover with one hand barely touching it, trying to avoid all the slime. Those manhole covers weigh around 40-45 pounds and would be difficult to move with both hands. Edit
