Line 61:
* [[Beyond Temptation]]: Demons who abandoned Lucifer during his [[Rage Against the Heavens]] are imprisoned in boxes. Their only chance for freedom is to tempt enough souls.
* Subverted in [http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2009/12/30/how-to-confound-your-alien-captor-rerun.html this] very funny ''[[Basic Instructions]]'' comic:
{{quote| '''Alien Captor:''' I plan to study you by giving you everything you desire and watching your reactions.<br />
'''Scott:''' Fine by me.<br />
'''Alien Captor:''' You'll have everything but freedom.<br />
'''Scott:''' I've had freedom. I'd like to try having the things I desire for a change. }}
* So far, ''[[Last Res0rt]]'' looks like it's playing this straight, for the criminal contestants. They've all been offered their freedom, if they survive (and, one assumes, ''win'') the games. Cypress Vaeo, one of the people behind the show's creation and their 'face', has this to say to critics:
{{quote| '''Cypress''': "I know critics will say that our new show is cruel and unusual, but we're doing everyone a favor here! Death row is far more cruel. Half our players haven't seen starlight in the past ten years! We're following every law and code on the books, and if anyone else has a problem, I have four words...''speak with my lawyer''."<br />
'''Lawyer''': (very rapidly) "By asking me a question, you hereby acknowledge that any answer you recieve will be sufficient insomuch as that if you disagree with the answer, I am not obligated to provide you with a better one..." }}
