Yes, I see where you're coming from. He's had a Reaper ready to take him twice. And while he might not have *actually* died all those times in "Mystery Spot" (and it really depends on how you interpret the ep), still, to Sam it feels like he's died umpteen bajillion (actual number) times. For us the audience, maybe not, since it was supposed to be a really morbid running joke.
But by the time we got to NRftW? I was expecting it. Still trying to talk ways around it, but was expecting it. Which for me, lessens the impact.
