Michael crying in the behind the scenes of Good Omens 3.

CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE AREN'T IN THE BOOK OF LIFE

Michael burns the entire book. Crowley saves a *single* page. Yet Aziraphale and Crowley persist. Even when God "makes a universe" without them in it.... They still are. They persist. Aziraphale and Crowley are as foundational to creation as God and Satan themzelves (you'll notice Satan also didn't have a page)

God, voiced by Frances McDormand, has not been heard from since season 1. The God who appears in the bookshop at the end of season 3 was summoned by Aziraphale writing in the new Book of Life. She is the embodiment of Aziraphale's hopes and fears about what God really is, and she does everything exactly as Aziraphale would hope -- she obeys Crowley's command to pause in destroying them. She answers their questions sincerely, not in riddles. She allows them true choice. And she honors their wishes.

Aziraphale brings here there, and she does as Aziraphale wills, for once. One interpretation could be that this is not actually God (the God who was shuffling the cards in season 1) but Aziraphale's manifestation of God.

Season 1, as an adaptation of the book, resolves the problems of season 1 and the book, and does so in a way that really doesn't need a sequel. Season 2 reopens all of the same problems, and creates an ever-recurring repetion of these same problems, within the system it creates. As long as Heaven and Hell exist, the same crisis will repeat. The finale ends the cycle of crisis by ending the system of Heaven and Hell, at Az & Crowley's choice.

Aziraphale and Crowley end up together, on their own side. They end up with Aziraphale being ready to give up the earth to just be with Crowley -- you can see the disappointment on his face when Crowley says the opposite, until he realizes Crowley is right. And Crowley is finally willing to sacrifice being with Aziraphale, for humanity, which is what Aziraphale was trying to do at the end of season 2. They both come around to seeing each other's point of view, together. That is their happy ending. They're finally on the same side. For real. For good.

I don't think you understand how important this kiss is.

Doing this in front of God too.
