Fast Eddie: Pulled too-wide picture. Please see Administrative Policy.

alliterator: Ah. Sorry. Went a little picture crazy there. Luckily, I 'shopped the one for The Sarah Connor Chronicles down to a manageable size.


The Grim Sleeper: I think this article is way to affectionate toward the show. A particular thorn in my eye is the Magnificent Bastard tag for this particular The Devil. I haven't seen every episode but he seem to rarely manifests his evil on screen, and the one rather poor example (Even I could do that!) on the page is pretty much the only one I've seen in the whole run. Compared to demons in lesser parts in other media, he's a Smug Snake at most. Mind you, to no fault of Ray Wise. It's more of a plot-problem, I feel.

The Grim Sleeper: Ok, his final deal with "Super-cop" was pretty good. There are a handfull cases where he does bad things to innocent bystanders, but that's more bullying than real magnificence. But 1 episode does not a Magnificent Bastard make.
  • The manipulation of things like near misses with truck crashes, and the Devil intentionally putting the Love Interest in the path of a murderous soul. A bit more magnificent? I think it's a step up from Smug Snake, but not quite there, myself. But let the majority decide.
