It seems funny that this episode was considered so "controversial" back in 1992, whereas nobody would think anything of it today. I guess that shows how far we've come in the past 21 years.

The funny thing about this episode was that I interpreted the whole thing to be a dream. After Sam has his "dance with the devil" he wakes up and he's at the bottom of the staircase again, where he...

Sorry, but the part where Sam is talking in the little boy voice totally cracked me up. He sounded like Stuart in the Mad TV skits. Not meaning to knock Bakula's acting - he's generally wonderful and...

I think this episode was a gamble that paid off. It was risky but well worth it after the very dramatic episode that preceded it (Raped). I can understand how a lot of fans would protest the idea and...
