That is so cute it's not even funny.

And a Sam & Andi clip that I haven't seen... but I admit I don't like watching preview clips because I'd rather wait for the episodes themselves:

The Bret interview was great. I can't wait for the Sweet Science. I loved Eric Palladino on ER. I want to know why Ben is dating a demon. I expected Sock to do sonething like that.

Darn, try to put in a good day's work, and suddenly there are a million posts and links! The "Jana" promo was fun, the Sam and Andi one waaaay puzzling (though it did kind of clear up the mystery about the letter, the firing, and the eviction), and I agree, kathy, that Bret interview is darling. Love his giggle. But why did no-one warn me that it had Jason C., my sworn enemy? And OH I totally disagree that Morgan is the "better-looking brother." Bret is looking awesome, and I like that he looks a little older?

Thanks especially Blue and reapersite for all the awesome research, posting, and linking! It's only making my heart grow fonder for the show.

This is the best review of the premiere I've seen, but bewarned there are minor spoilers.

Cross-posted from the Bret thread:

Holy crap! Bret gives 2 interviews, and uh...gotta say, warning for episode spoilers. Beware.

The first is in interview format and is far more detail; the second not so much. In fact, the second article warns you that spoilers will follow.

[url=http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/index.ssf/2009/03/sepinwall_on_tv_reaper_season.html[/url]MAJOR review of the premiere by Alan Sepinwall[/url]. Very detailed. Of course this means be wary of spoilers. Will put this up though:

...and the entire sequence sums up "Reaper" in a nutshell. It's a series with a lot of potential, but its creative team constantly struggles to live up to the ambitious job before them -- and their plans work only in fits and starts. It's fun, but not nearly as good as it could be.

"Reaper" seemed poised to make the same leap forward in quality that NBC's similar "Chuck" (also about an underachiever at a big-box store with unwanted superpowers and evil-fighting responsibilities) has made so spectacularly this season. Instead, "Reaper" takes several steps back -- and a few steps sideways -- suggesting a drunken all-nighter may be in order, if it hasn't happened already.

"Reaper" was a long shot for renewal in the first place, and by scheduling it opposite "American Idol," the CW isn't exactly making its future look any brighter than Sam's. Whatever the show's fate, I just hope that it can get back to the quality level it had achieved last spring.

[Blue Sunflower]

Ha! Good short interview with Tyler (warning, spoilers). HOWEVER:

Is the devil, played by Ray Wise, really his father?

“We get into that right away,” said Labine. “It’s a tricky one to explain.”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.


More previews, warning spoilers:

Newsday

Chicago Tribune (extra warning: quite harsh. ouch)

IGN

[Blue Sunflower]

Bret talks to the Boston Herald about season two. There are no spoilers that the CW has not already released in its episode and show descriptions.

“Sam is always doing the right thing,” Harrison said. “He’s the hero you want to root for, but I am constantly trying to push him a little bit more toward the dark side and have him a little more flawed. Because I think it’s interesting to watch him go that way and give him a hole to crawl out of.”

“Weirdly enough, I think 13 is perfect,” he said. “The way it unravels and tells the whole season-two arc, I thought it was perfect. I always think less is more. We packed a lot in those 13 episodes, and in every episode there are huge reveals. A lot of things happen.”

And another ouchy premiere review that I can't comment on.

[pending]

Chicago Tribune (extra warning: quite harsh. ouch)

Hee hee, the Trib staff's just bitter because they knows what it's like to work for the Devil (and they're still paying his legal fees) so they don't want to watch a show about it.

I'm losing my fear for the bad reviews, because they all seem to be cribbing from the same sheet: "Look at Chuck! It totally stepped up its game 2nd season!" Well, that didn't improve its ratings, did it. None of you are mentioning that, or the fact that I already heard all I could about "Chuck and Reaper! Compare/Contrast!" LAST season, all season long. Enough already.

And another ouchy premiere review that I can't comment on.

Okay, I need to know: is there one guy who writes the review and everyone just modifies their version of it, or do they actually distribute a checklist of points for each reviewer to cover? "Hmm, mentioned Chuck.... Bad ratings... Ray Wise... Bitched about Sam/Andi... Just have to talk about how I'm sure the show will be cancelled soon and I'm done!"

I'm going with "both". But more on option A considering the 27,000 posts I'm going through!!!!

Hey, Oscar Wilde did say the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about, right?

[cko]

I admire you all for keeping up--and I'm personally intrigued by that Marxist reading--but I have decided to (new favorite word, I've been using it in reference to The Dating) eschew any more articles or reviews until after the premiere. It's starting to feel like the BSG TWoP boards (imagine!)--too much information.

*takes a relaxing sigh*

MWHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAHAHAH!!!! Both for 202 Dirty Sexy Mongol.

New promo trailer:



Annnnnnnnnnnd NEW CLIP!!!!!!!!!



You're welcome!

[pacejunkie]

Oh that clip was awesome! "NARC!!!" I'm really looking forward to this ep. And does anyone else think of South Park when they hear someone say "Mongolian!"?

Kristin has done an interview with Ray at E!Online. I haven't seen it, but I'm gonna presume there are a ton of spoilers. I also think there might be some for other shows at the beginning of the video as well.

Direct link: www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b103256_devil_made_me_do_it.html

I will edit this post when I get a better copy (hopefully on youtube).

ETA: This is a different interview with Ray, from KTLA. Again, I haven't seen it, so I don't know how spoilerific it is.

I wonder if that's baby Stevie. I also wonder if that storyline gives us the background for Sam's history, considering he was also adopted by a demon daddy.

[Blue Sunflower]

Do NOT read and/or watch if you don't want to know. Tyler gives out as much detailed info as Bret does. I did not think that was possible. Major mytharc info.

I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to this episode.

[Blue Sunflower]

Okay, Ben is rather awesome, and I think I might end up liking Nina:

[kathyk]

I'm in favor of any storyline that takes focus away from Sock and Kristin. I think Nina is more attractive than Kristin. Yeah Tony is back! I wonder if this experience will inspire him to adopt Stevie?

_{cko added spoiler tag.}

[cko]

Ha, I hope Nina will be a bit like Anya from Buffy, with her lack of understanding of human ways. It could be funny. I don't like her better than Kristen, though. Kristen has a cute Hello Kitty appeal that I don't mind, even though I don't like the storyline at all. However, I've been doing an informal poll among several non diehard fans who seem to like Kristen and find the Sock/stepsister subplot to be funny. So if it appeals to the casual fan (who we do need, after all) then I'm going to learn to live with it.

[Blue Sunflower]

I think I'm gonna like Nina more because she was actually hired to do something, as opposed to Kristen, whose only purpose is to prance around and act inappropriately with her "big brother". <gag>
