The demonic neighbors revelations to Sam are really interesting, and I'm still intrigued about Sam's dad burning that one page. And the whole contract thing is particularly interesting in Ben's almost-throwaway comment in the first episode that no-one can sell your soul for you - you have to do that yourself. My thought is that the contract is really a contingency clause and Dad has some kind of bet with the Devil over Sam's soul; if the Devil can corrupt Sam, then Dad gets to keep his - well, his upper middle class lifestyle. That would make vastly more sense if they were super wealthy, though.The Devil is obviously trying to corrupt Sam but at the same time, just as the neighbors seems to say, he's holding back. Given the Devil's behavior with others, he probably should have turned Sam inside-out by now if he truly 'belonged' to him. I'm thinking it has to be tied to the contract for some reason, but I can't imagine what. The neighbors comment about Sam being important somehow could mean that Sam is the son of the Devil, and by corrupting him, he gets a family. But again with the contract. Why is it there?So far the most outlandish theory I've come up with is that Sam is the Second Coming and if the Devil can corrupt him, Sam becomes the antichrist. Oh well. From what I remember, the show is not coming back in the Fall so unless they close it up in the episodes they have left, we'll never know. It's a cute show and funny, I make a point of watching it, but I won't exactly be pining for the fjords when it's gone.</blockquote>
