I don't understand the purpose of breaking Sam's hand??? Sam had an opportunity to get out of his deal with the devil.. Why would God would not want that?? Why Steve would get his wings from doing that? I'm more confused than ever and the show is cancelled... it can't even explain itself next season... what an unsatisfying finale..

--push pause!
Is a spoiler warning asking too much? How about not spoiling it right in the bloody topic title then?
shareThe episode been on for how many days now?? How about watching it before coming to the bloody board???

Wooooow.
Explaining, condescendingly no less, about a computer, to someone who posted on an internet forum.
Perhaps if you didn't spend all your time being an ignoramus online for all to scoff you'd actually learn a thing or two (like what exactly qualifies a third world country... pretty sure if they have internet access they're at least semi settled and civilized.)
^^^^ What a GIANT arrogant douche this guy is.

Thank you, CrimsonFiend, for being about the only intelligent reply thus far. Wow, I'm seriously impressed by the blatant condescending, racist tone some of you people have. Seriously, you do your country proud.

There seems to be a lot of criticism of the ending to "Reaper" (on this forum anyway) but I think people don't comprehend the makers' intentions.
It seems to me that they gave us an open ending in the hope that the series would be renewed.
It's my hope too but, alas, not my expectation.

I was really disappointed by the last episode, but really just left feeling "that's it??".
My interpretation was that this was for the "greater good", but also like you say, so that the series could be continued. From all I read this seems highly doubtful, and in the hands of different writers and cast I think it would struggle to live up to it's obvious potential. My wife thinks that the show didn't really have anywhere to go though ...
I'm so depressed right now :(
Just finished watching the last episode...dammmnniitttttt
Stupid cancellation GRRRRR
When I saw this I was pissed too, but it wasn't confusing, it made perfect sense. Then again I've seen a *lot* of shows and movies about the war between Heaven and Hell.
Angels don't just do miracles and shine kind benevolence on everyone. Most of the time they treat humans as expendable pawns in a grand chess game, if they even acknowledge that we have any worth at all.
And throughout the series people talk in hushed whispers about Sam having some sort of "destiny." One way or the other, he's an important chess piece in the war between Heaven and Hell.
If Sam had won the contest and been freed from the Devil's influence, he would lose all strategic value. He would no longer be in a position to affect the war one way or the other, which is presumably his ultimate destiny. Without his link to the underworld, he's just another human.
It's impossible to say what his role was destined to be, but if I had to guess:
1) He was destined to be the Antichrist and Heaven couldn't allow that to change because under his leadership Hell was destined to lose the war. If he was let off the hook, there was a chance that whoever took his place would defeat Heaven.
2) He was destined to be a Savior, either betraying the underworld and enabling Heaven to win, or organizing a rebellion of demons like he tried and failed to do in one part of the series.
3) God slipped one past the radar and his mother was actually an angel, and so he's half-angel too or even the Messiah, and at some point he was going to become aware of that and have some angelic powers at his disposal.
