Media Mentions: Giving The Devil His Due

[Blue Sunflower]

The Legend of Inkymae again. She's the one trying to write a Reaper script. This time, she talks about the structure of the show itself, and it's an interesting read.

[Blue Sunflower]

Aw, I'd love to get this teacher here.

[Blue Sunflower]

A nice write-up of the show.

Popsense's review of Reaper.

Love that Dutch fansite that evilalex linked. Check it out. You almost feel like you can understand what they're saying. Cool that Reaper is so international!

Guess which Reaper couple made the 'Top Supernatural Romances of TV and Film' list at Zap2it. www.zap2it.com/news/custom/photogallery/specialsections/zap-photogallery-topsupernaturalromances,0,6970790.photogallery?index=19

Can't find the original article, but it looks like Ray was listed on Entertainment Weekly's list of Top 15 Devils (he came in at #12).

Also, Does anyone know the name of the Wii game Sam, Sock, and Ben were playing in Cash Out?

'K, you got exalted for that, lostinflight.

I'm going to cynically guess that it's Grand Non-Copywrite Enfringement: Seattle Streets.

Sock and Josie?

WBNX:

Stars of the show clearly have respect for each other’s talents, with the eerily-jovial devil himself—Ray Wise—saying Bret Harrison (Sam) reminds him of a young Jimmy Stewart, the Oscar-winning Hollywood legend. Bret suspects that’s only because his voice cracks when he talks. “Well, that’s true,” Wise chuckles to PopDose. “That’s what first made me draw that comparison. But as we’ve gone on, he just comes off so squeaky clean. He’s like an all-American kid, and that was Jimmy Stewart.

Aww.

Thanks cko! I linked this site on there too.

Some pretty good info, including one Q&A that is spoilery. If you want to avoid spoilers, stop reading when you get to Bret's knees in that Reaper Red pic -- does that sound strange? -- and here's what's below the spoiler question.

BOOSH: The cast seems to have a great time together on screen, is that just for show?

BRET: [Laugh] Not at all. It's a great time. We shoot in Vancouver and we're really into 5 pin bowling. The whole crew went out last weekend and played. It's like chucking a baseball at a bunch of bottles.

Ken Marino and Michael Ian Black play a awesomely gay couple that lives next door. They're great to hang out with. Ken has a karaoke room in his house. I didn't think I would ever really get into it, but I went one time and it was a lot of fun. Ken's favorite is Michael McDonald.

BOOSH: You're in a band with Adam Brody, Big Japan – but I see there hasn't been much updating on that page. Is that still going on?

BRET: I always get hit up on that. I feel like such a nerd, it's something we never took too seriously. We've jammed around, but acting/writing is my first priority. I'm in Vancouver, so the band is on hold. But it was certainly something I got to have for myself. Do something on the side and not worry if I'm gonna get paid.

(The second season of Reaper is set for a mid-season release later this Spring, but if you need to catch up on the action first time around Reaper: Season One is now available on DVD. You can get all the insider info here at CWTV.com)

Warning, the article is really badly written and edited.

[pacejunkie]

stop reading when you get to Bret's knees in that Reaper Red pic -- does that sound strange?

It sounds mildly suggestive actually.

...And I should have listened to you because I can't believe how much he gave away. Damn. I like this nonspoilery part though:

The first drafts are 10 times darker than what ends up on TV. I wish they could make the cut. Because there's an inherent talking about religion, the writers have to make Sam such a good guy or it might be seen as pissing on religion.

Interesting. I'd love to see one of those darker scripts. So that's why Sam's an angel.

[cko]

It sounds mildly suggestive actually.

...And I should have listened to you because I can't believe how much he gave away.

You were the one I was thinking of in both cases! And yes, RE: the darker scripts. I wonder if that deleted scene was one he was referring to.

[novium]

argh, 'later this spring'. By that point, i will have seen so many spoilers it'll feel like watching reruns. And yet I can't stop.

[cko]

Hahaha! I know, novium. Well there's always the fun of seeing how they actually play out. And it's true, we're just here to enable you.

[pacejunkie]

Of course you could go cold turkey on the spoilers. Ah, sweet mystery of life.

[novium]

ah yes, because that works out so well for every other type of addict out there.

[onyourmark]

Bret did an interview with online men's magazine bullz-eye.com, which you can read here. But wait, there's more.

BE: Yeah, actually, there’s a site called Reaper DMV that has more spoilers than you can shake a stick at. Of course, probably only a third of them will end up being accurate, but…

BH: Oh, really? What is it called?

BE: Reaper DMV.

BH: No way. And it’s got all of these fake spoilers?

BE: Well, I mean, for all I know, they may be working with 100 percent accuracy, but I just can’t imagine statistically that they’re all on the money.

BH: Oh, I’ve got to check that out. That is so funny.

... uh, nobody panic? (Lookin' at you, Blue.)

Holy crap.

[cko]

Holy crap is exactly what I said when someone told me about that.

Now I'm the one who's panicking.

And, though this is in the category of "and how did you like the show, Mrs. Lincoln?"--that's one of the better interviews with Bret that I've read.

[pacejunkie]

Oh yes. Oh yesyesyesyesyesyesyes. He even included a link to us. And now we've been outed as the best spoiler source. Best publicity ever.

I think I'll send Bret an e-mail and invite him here personally. I did in fact send an e-mail to Will Harris thanking him. Here's what I said on behalf of us all:

Will,

As one of the admins and founders of ReaperDMV I wanted to thank you for your terrific interview with the great Bret Harrison as well as your shout out to our forum. We're proud to know that Reaper DMV has become one of the top Reaper fansites and spoiler sources on the web and it was a kick to read that Bret now knows about us and may check us out. Thanks again for your support of both the forum and of Reaper, we wish you continued success and welcome you to visit Reaper DMV any time.

Sincerely,
(pacejunkie), Reaper DMV Administrator

[cko]

Fantastic, pace, great thinking and nicely said. Let us know what Bret says to you. :-)

[pacejunkie]

Message sent to Bret with a link to us so he can visit easily if he wants to.

[stinger97]

That's absolutely awesome! I'm just hoping Bret doesn't come here, see my avatar, and get freaked out. D:

[pacejunkie]

Heh. I think he'd be flattered. He's cool like that.

If he emails you back, try and see if he'll do an interview with ReaperCast.
