Line 20:
** Actually they do explain it in the very first episode its established. The Devil is ''always'' hiding around the corner, listening to people's secrets so he knows exactly how to tempt them. As a circle has no corners for him to hide behind, he is rendered powerless to hear inside of one. This is ''not'' the same as being rendered unable to enter circles or exit them, nor does this mean he is powerless within one. We see him able to enter circles when the Demon Rebellion summons him and we see he can leave one when he teleports Sam and himself outside. He also brings the building down on top of the Rebellion, showing that inside of circles, his powers ''do'' work.
* Related to the above: Season two showed the characters constantly discussing their plans to break Sam free from the devil without circles. The devil could have teleported himself or Sam at any moment and heard this discussion and could have sabotaged everything.
* The entire goddamn premise of this series: the idea that the Devil can own a mortal's soul without them exercising their own free will and choosing to give it up. Excuse me? I thought one of the central tenets of Christianity is that every man is a free agent and that the Devil has to persuade you to sell your own soul for something you want via [[Deal
