Continue to part 2 :).

I've been studying the gos2 opening credits/title sequence. Is there a place where people are dissecting it? If you know, please share, because I can't find it! And the sequence is a rabbit hole. Seriously, WHY all the rabbits??!? In space, in the audience, raining down on Jesus(?) and someone wearing a traffic cone hat(?), like you do. And who's the dancing person with blue hair and jacket? And the Aziraphale lookalike with headphones(?) over his hair? Plus so many more not in these particular rabbit photos. I have SO MANY QUESTIONS.

In the top photos with the red herring, I think I also see Elspeth AND Wee Morag, Furfur, dancing blue peacock (?) person, Jesus, Gabriel, Shax, plus a few others. It's so strangely detailed!

In s1, after the bookshop fire, when Crowley is drunkenly rambling about Lucifer and the guys showing up one day, I feel like he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Perhaps he had already been asking The Metatron questions--things that The Metatron realized would threaten his own standing in heaven.

Maybe Crowley discovered something terrible about The Metatron, but either had that part of his memory wiped after he fell, or didn't know how bad the "terrible thing" was so he hasn't yet connected those dots.

What if The Metatron was the one who originally wanted to take over heaven? What if he's patiently biding his time, disguised as the benevolent voice of God, shaping heaven into what HE wants it to be? What if he framed Crowley, Lucifer, and everyone who "rebelled"??

Consider. By the time Crowley shows up with Lucifer and friends, The Metatron is supremely pissed that his plan might be in jeopardy due to a few nosy angels. But if those angels and other free-thinkers like them were no longer around, The Metatron could relax and continue to direct his puppets as he pleased--all under the guise of doing God's will, of course.

Crowley just wants to ask some questions and make some suggestions. Next thing he knows he's fighting angels because The Metatron sounded the alarm. "Renegade angels are challenging the authority of God!" That's all that needed to be said for all hell to break loose. There's so much confusion. Halos are flying all over the place, weapons are clashing, and through it all I feel like Crowley would be... stunned. He can't see Aziraphale, but his pals Lucifer, Furfur, and others are there so he defends them. In doing so, he's chosen his side, so he's cast out with them.

But he was never on their side to begin with.

The Metatron didn't care. All those damn fool questions got Crowley in trouble. Serves him right. If you watch ep6, you'll see The Metatron clearly has a hatred of Crowley. Did you notice the look he gives Crowley before he has the coffee talk with Aziraphale? That was a pure death glare, with menacing music and all. Watch it again.

The Metatron knows Crowley would never come back to heaven because Crowley thinks God abandoned and rejected him for asking a few questions. The Metatron knows Aziraphale still believes in goodness, in the system the Metatron has crafted, making Aziraphale the perfect angel to manipulate.

Here's a hopeful meta for all my fellow celestial brainrot sufferers out there. Cheers! :)

This idea started as a dead end, trying to track the movements of Crowley’s sideburns/tattoo because I thought time travel shenanigans were afoot. I had to abandon that theory when it was pointed out that David was simultaneously filming as the sideburns-having Fourteenth Doctor, and in-universe Crowley can do whatever he wants with his facial hair whenever he feels like it. But hey - null findings are still findings!

On the bright side, pausing the show to make notations in a spreadsheet forced me to slow down and notice other changes I'd overlooked the first time around: acting choices, costuming choices, references to book lore. And possibly a few surreptitious flicks of the wrist, in places where we’re meant to be focused on the magician’s other hand.

@amuseoffyre and @ineffablefood had a great exchange recently about romance and “the significance of misdirection and three-in-one (magic) tricks” throughout the show. I suspect Neil has done something brilliant with the audience’s long-standing expectations (since the 1990s, really) for the love story between Crowley and Aziraphale to develop. And while it is a wonderful story indeed, playing to this expectation lets Neil distract his audience from the blink-and-you'll-miss-them seeds he's planting for the final chapter.

Continued below the cut...

A demon asks an angel for holy water, and is shot down. The angel sees the danger in this, and cannot be convinced that handing over a loaded gun, a pill, a small vial of laudanum would be safe for the demon. He does not trust what Crowley would do with it, despite his promises. They walk away from each other. The crumpled note floats on a body of water yet it combusts. Time passes. They are both alone.

During the blitz, at the church. We see Crowley eyeing up the holy water as if thinking of stealing it. After the books are saved from burning and they’re driving away—bathed in orange firelight and speeding through the blitzed city—Aziraphale asks if there’s anything he can do for Crowley. Neither of them mention holy water. If they had, that bubble would have burst like the bottles of liquor in the back and that fragile thing they were eking out would have spilled, quite dangerously for the demon, all over the two of them. Instead, hours later, the demon has a gun leveled at the angel’s head and is asked to trust him, to pull the trigger with the knowledge that it won’t hurt him. There is a bullet in this gun but be not afraid i will not let it hurt me. You need to trust in that, trust in me, trust in us. The trigger is pulled. Time passes.

An angel sits in the passenger seat of a demon’s car, much in the same way as he did decades prior. The car is not moving but there is an orange glow about the street they’re parked on, illuminated signs advertising love or an approximation of. He hands the demon a thermos—a silly object, one that is as sturdy as it is branded with Aziraphale’s colors, personalized, a reminder of who it came from. This one, at least, can’t shatter. He loads the tartan bullet into the gun and hands it over to Crowley, apologizing in his obfuscated way for taking so long to trust him with it. Apologizing for not keeping up. Blaming Crowley for going too fast. The car is not moving as he exits the Bentley. Crowley has no way to test if it's real holy water, other than trust. Time continues to pass.

An angel and a demon save each other’s lives by taking a bullet for each other—one spilled out and splashing in a bathtub, the other standing still in a pillar of orange flame. This time, neither of them shot the gun. They committed to robbing the grave knowing it would be rigged to shoot. Time passes but they run alongside it, doing their best to carve out some peace together after everything. Time passes but they pass it together.

Time stands still. An angel and a demon are facing off in a bookshop, flanked by a looming unticking clock and the lack of birdsong. They are both looking down the barrels of their trust in each other. The demon fires first, but lands somewhere off to the side of the angel’s head. That had been the plan once, but not anymore.
