** I think you're confusing bad writing and ShowTheirWork. The idea that evil can travel through corners is a superstition that goes back centuries, and is part of the reason that circles are used in summoning and protection spells. Admitedly it doesn't make the idea any less ridiculous, but at least it wasn't the writer's.

* The Sock and his Step-Sister subplot. There just is no reason for it within the show. Yes, Sock was lecherous during the first season, but not to this extent. It's just annoying and [[{{Squick}} squicktastic]] to watch, and the sooner it's over, the sooner {{CanonDiscontinuity}} can kick in. Though on the other hand, Ben and Nina are adorable.

** This point is actually addressed in the show a couple of times; first in the pilot when Ben is trying to persuade Sam that the Devil is lying because Sam isn't the one who sold his soul to the Devil, and then later in Season 1 when Andi asks Tony if he knows a way to get Sam out of his deal. Tony initially declines, saying that one selling their soul is a done deal, at which point Andi brings up the fact that Sam ''didn't'' sell his soul to the Devil; his parents did. Tony has a look of "What? That's not right" and he then agrees to take a look at the Contract to see exactly what it says. So the nature of Sam's deal is acknowledged as irregular within the show, which in turn raises a further point; the Devil mostly keeps Sam in the dark about the particulars and generally obfuscates his attempts to learn more [[note]] it takes Sam quite a long time to even ask for a copy of his Contract in the first place, and when he finally receives one it's written in Latin, forcing him to rely on outside forces like his father and Tony to translate for him [[/note]]. Given all this, it's not hard to imagine that the Devil is playing on Sam's ignorance of the situation, and even possible that the Devil ''doesn't'' own Sam's soul at all and the end of Series 2 was a KansasCityShuffle on his part.
