I Believe In Good Omens @gypsi-kat01 - Tumblr Blog

The biggest problem finale is how badly this written (P2)

But in my opinion, the script s3 treats Aziraphale even worse than some takes after s2.

He receives no catharsis. No genuine moment of self-reflection.

By the end of the story he is still portrayed as vain, slightly condescending, and almost completely lacking empathy toward Crowley—even though that portrayal directly contradicts the character development he went through over the previous two seasons.

As a result, it feels as though all of this exists for one reason only: to make him accept Crowley’s destructive plan out of guilt rather than conviction.

That may be the strangest writing decision of all.

First, make a character behave terribly toward the person he loves.

Then suggest that the proper way to make up for it is to agree to mutual self-destruction.

Am I missing something?

My problem isn’t that they choose a universe where neither of them exists anymore.

Although, honestly, I also find the entire “reset everything” idea deeply disturbing.

Because it means they would both have to knowingly accept Crowley falling again and suffering through everything that followed.

Or Aziraphale would have to trade places with him.

Or they would conclude that they should both remain angels.

But in that case, the “us” we’ve spent six years following would never exist.

Personally, I wanted to see them actually argue about this.

I wanted them to discuss the consequences openly and acknowledge that perhaps a world without God, Satan, angels, or demons is simply the least terrible option available.

They didn’t have to agree.

They just needed to have that conversation.

Instead, it never happens.

And that is exactly why the ending feels emotionally hollow.

There is another aspect that disappointed me deeply, particularly regarding Aziraphale.

I wanted him to experience a genuine “fall”—not literally, but as a piece of character writing.

To be left alone with his own crisis.

To lose faith in the ideals that had defined him for so long.

The problem is that the script first invents those ideals for him.

Because Aziraphale was never truly naive.

There is simply no believable version of him that honestly thinks Heaven is made up of “the good guys.”

After everything he witnessed, that makes no sense.

That optimistic image was always a coping mechanism.

It allowed him to survive, avoid conflict, and outmaneuver people by pretending to be harmless, polite, and slightly absent-minded while actually being extraordinarily intelligent.

That is who Aziraphale has always been.

When he spends the beginning of the season quietly sabotaging the Second Coming through endless bureaucracy, that is perfectly in character.

But then the script suddenly asks us to believe that he sincerely thought he could reform the entire system from within.

To me, that isn’t character tragedy.

It’s character betrayal.

The finale almost seems to resent both of them.

Aziraphale is reduced to a fool and a kind of naivety he never possessed.

…

And Crowley…

What happens to Crowley feels less like character development and more like a whump fantasy.

A charismatic, resourceful, brilliantly independent demon is transformed into someone who can barely function without Aziraphale.

Yes, Crowley has always been traumatized.

Yes, he has always been vulnerable.

Yes, emotional dependence has always existed between them.

But none of that ever made him incapable of acting.

I would have found it far more believable if losing his miracles had driven him into panic or forced him to run away.

That would have been entirely consistent with his character.

His avoidance has always come from fear, despair, and a desperate instinct to survive.

Instead, he simply stays where he is and slowly destroys himself.

Not because that is the logical next step for his character.

But because the plot requires it.

Which is why the ending feels less like the conclusion of a carefully written story and more like a fetishized codependency fanfiction.

Ironically, even many whump fanfics allow their characters to communicate, care for one another, and actually grow.

This finale barely lets them do any of those things.

This is why, to me, it doesn’t feel like an honest exploration of depression or a respectful portrayal of the trauma Crowley has endured.

It feels far more like the fetishization of suffering.

His pain doesn’t seem to exist to deepen his character or allow him to grow. Instead, it becomes an aesthetic—something the story uses to make itself feel darker or to make its nihilistic ending easier to justify.

His depression never develops into an actual narrative.

It is never meaningfully explored.

It is never allowed to lead anywhere.

It simply exists.

And that is what hurts the most.

Because it feels disrespectful not only to Crowley as a character, but also to the people who have seen themselves in him for years—people who recognized their own anxiety, fear, despair, and struggle in his story.

When mental illness is reduced to a convenient patch for a poorly constructed tragic and cynical ending. It becomes nothing more than a narrative device.

Crowley deserved far better than this

I don’t have a problem with the ending itself. Even if it’s bad ending, even with main characters death, and even with word-destruction.

The problem is that the script stops making sense.

The characters say things that contradict their previous motivations. They make choices that don’t grow naturally out of their development. The central conflicts never receive meaningful catharsis, and the most important emotional moments aren’t properly earned.

It feels as though the writers decided on the ending first, kept a handful of scenes they considered essential, and then rushed to connect everything in between.

That’s why the ending itself isn’t what disappoints me.

Alright, here we go!

@addledmongoose @isadibus (who wanted to be tagged, but I somehow can't tag them... sorry!) @knifeforkspooncup @yowlthinks

I'll be reblogging this post for my commentary. Again, infrequent reblogs, under the tag "go3 live". Block it if you're not interested.

Let's see how much headway I'll make into the bottle of rosé I just opened. Don't worry, I have a bottle of water and a lot of snacks, as well. I do not know my alcohol limits, because I've never gone close to them and I don’t plan to tonight, either.

Maybe I'll do a drinking game, like taking a sip everytime something annoys me? Let me know if you have ideas, this is going to take a while, what with all the typing I'll be doing in between, so there will be plenty of opportunity to implement whatever you come up with.

And without much further ado - into the fray!

haemey

First of all - my rosé is really good, yay!

But now - why is there a previously on? There was none on season 2? Also: "If Gabriel and Beelzebub could do it, then we could have been - us" is evil

War in Heaven. "The war in Heaven, at the centre of the universe, pitted angel against angel, the rebels finally fell." That's a stupid ass sentence. It should have been two. Just put a period after "angel against angel". Why make it one? This is, quite literally, bad writing.

I do like the gothic aesthetic, and the kind of abstract universe backdropnis pretty.

Alright, and we're at the Weathertop! Let's see what happens...

Genuinely didn't notice Angel!Crowley on my first watchthrough. Or rather, noticed him, but didn’t clock him as Crowley. I had *no idea* he was there. Nice to know he was.

LEGOZIRAPHALE LET'S GOOOOOOO god I hate that wig so much. The costumes in this scene are so weird. Michael and Uriel are both wearing armor. Quite sinilar armor, too, though not exactly the same. Why isn't General Aziraphale? Why is he wearing a kilt and a trenchcoat? I mean, we know he never killed anything, but he's a general, isn't he? He's bound to be on the battlefield sometimes? Shouldn't he be wearing some kind of protective gear as well, besides that weird studded leather belt across his torso? What even is that? Are we playing DnD? Belts and studs everywhere? Is that his sword belt? Why isn't he just wearing one around the hips? This seems unnecessary and cumbersome. Sorry, but I have Opinions on the costumes in this scene. They upset me.

Who is Michael speeching to? Aziraphale and Uriel? This is a motivational speech, but there are no troops to motivate? Also, "they lost"? In S1, Gabriel says "nothing was decided". So... who lost, exactly?

The set is very pretty, though. I like the stone ornaments (although you can tell they were cheaply made, unfortunately), and the flame in the middle of the water.

Aziraphale pulling out his sword, only for the flame to spark and go out, while he looks defeated... is that him actively extinguishing it, knowing the war is over? Is it him losing his will to fight? Interesting detail that I haven't yet seen anyone talk about. But also, why is he even taking it out in the first place?

And here's Crowley! I hate his wig as well, especially in the BTS photos. It looks fine here. I wonder why he had his wings out in that first shot, but now they're gone? Also, why is he there at all, was he hiding? Was he planning an ambush? Why even ambush Aziraphale at all? He could just have stayed hidden. Also, his wings were still grey/white, but he's already wearing black. Very interesting. Did Lucifer's followers all don black to set themselves apart?

The way he just falls over when his wound acts up, after jumping Aziraphale like that. So undignified. Snort

Oh dear, only 4 min in? This *is* going to take a while, isn’t it?

"I spent the war smiting rebel angels, but I've never done this before." Looks at Crowley, face softens. Cue anime bubbles and "waah" soundeffect.

"Should I say thank you?" "Better not." "Thank you for the bandage" what did he just say? Also, that's not a bandage. You didn't bandage shit. At best, it's a compression bandage. At worst, you just put a piece of fabric around his leg several inchs away from the wound. Considering you tied it in a neat little bow and didn't use anything to tighten it (like adding things underneath, using a stick to twist it tight)... yeah. Also, Crowley is still an angel. Shouldn't he be able to heal himself somewhat? He wasn't bleeding, by the looks of it, either. Yes, it's a nasty cut, I assume since I couldn’t actually see it, even when the camera was pointed right at it, but... eh. My last fird aid class was 15 years ago, so what do I know. I should really get a refresher. Also, I don’t know where people got the idea that that was Crowley's tie but... no. Crowley’s tie a) only appears in 2008, b) is a glittery grey knit fabric. This isn't that.

Opening credits! First sin: Aziraphale helps Crowley up off the ground in the alleyway. Also, what's up with the Chinese dragons? I remember there being Chinese lanterns in the first teaser, but they ever actually do anything with those? Whelp, I'll see.

There are so many details and I can’t make out half of them. I'll leave the credits analysis to someone else.

I'm upset by the music though. They're skipping like half of the theme! Ew! What? There are supposed to be repeats there, why are they missing?! Did they think I wouldn’t notice? I'm a musician, of course I notice! The whole structure is wrong! The pacing is off! It defies all preestablished principles! And it veers off so far from what we knew from bef- oh.

On an unrelated note, I just took off my bra and tried to throw it in the direction of my closet from whrre I'm sitting - it landed in the trash. Brb.

Ah yes, the "he didn’t write the script so he's credited twice on one screen" part of the credits.

The 3 knocking off the 2 on the title is cute. I don’t know why we needed it, most of us can count to three, but it's cute.

Ooooh they blew all of their budget for extras on the first ten seconds of present day London! That's why it feels so empty for the rest of the time! Also there's like... six.

I like the rat. It's cute and squeaky and bad CGI. Also, it clearly is tring to communicate with Crowley. Poor thing.

Ew, corporate Aziraphale. But also, oh, more extras! Why are they using them up in these scenes?

Why is everyone so surprised about the Peace On Earth thing? I thought Aziraphale was quite clear on that before? Did he not communicate that with anyone?

Joshua's introduction is so sad. Why is no one with him? Why is he left to wander Heaven alone, after just being resurrected and clearly confused and upset? I know Aziraphale is a bit bumbling from time to time, but he *is* kind and empathetic. This should not be happening on his watch. And the way he treats him afterwards? "Oh yeah, everyone you know is dead. Anyway, here's the angel who hates me most and who I hate most, have fun!"

What is that gambling scene? "Oh you won!" Great. Talks about designing star systems and probability. "Another win." *how?* he didn’t do anything!

I have an idea on how to get the Bentley back! If he wins so easily every time, he just needs to gamble and gamble until he's bankrupted Mafia Dude. Easy. He had however long to do it, he could have made it by now. 100k in one sitting? Crowley has his Bentley *and a flat* back in a month and Mrs Sandwich is a millionaire!

Is there a reason the Find The Lady cards have to be bent? Genuine question.

That entire scene is mostly uncomfortable with how drunk he is, but Crowley walking into the door had me laugh out loud. What a dork.

You had budget for ten seconds of Derek Jacobi. And that's how you choose to spend it?

Ok, there are more extras here.

I feel so sorry for Mutt's spouse. They didn’t even get a name, and they don't even show up in the X-ray. All they get is a dead husband who they think killed himself. They were such a delight in S2.

Look, I do like Joshua working his kindness magic on everyone. I do not like how naive he is, or at least comes off. I get that he doesn't know anything about the modern world, that's fine. I get that he is a fanfic version of Jesus. But Biblical Jesus was an adult man in his mid 30s, who could be quite vicious when he wanted to be. Someone who told men to gouge out their own eyes if the sight of women distracted them so much. Someone who destroyed the market in the Temple because he was upset by the merchants commodifying religion, inside the Temple no less. Who is this kid?

*pokes Crowley in the head* ehehe.

I've never been pass-out drunk before. Is that kind of incoherency a thing? Genuine question.

"Bye-bye. Hfnsjfb. Night-night." Ehehehe

Hmmmmmm Michael has the Book of Life brooch when they find out that it's missing, which makes sense. Now I need to go back and check if she had it before. Gimme a sec.

She does not. In other words, Aziraphale really didn’t communicate with anyone about not ending the world, she only learned about it in the Joshua scene, and promptly decided to just erase everything? What? Why? And why start with the Metatron? If anything, he would be on her side, right? He's the most powerful entity in all of Heaven, apart from God. If Michael has a problem with Aziraphale, the Metatron would be the one to go to. Why the Book? Why not try to talk to the Metatron first, then decide whether to erase him? I get that she's acting irrationally later on, once she's absorbed so much knowledge it makes her go insane. But right off the bat?

How does Dagon know Jesus has been lost? And why does his name not hurt Crowley?

Also, controversial opinion (maybe, I don’t know), I like drunk depressed rock bottom Crowley. He's still funny, and let's face it, he has every reason to be drunk, depressed, and rock bottom. Except, obviously, he doesn't need to be rock bottom, because, as previously established, he could have just emptied the casino and gotten himself a new flat. But he's a drama queen, so whatever.

"Your friend... friend" oh Muriel, you sweetheart. They did you so dirty in this.

Now I need to read a fic where Muriel does everything in their power to bring Aziracrow back together. If anyone has recs, please let me know.

"I can’t possibly go to see Crowley!" Beam me down, me!

Does anyone know the significance of the gears on the construction site barriers two doors down from the bookshop? Also, I get the construction site from a technical standpoint. It's an easy and clean way to transition to CGI behind that. It just makes the world feel so small and restricted. You can tell the set is smaller. Even on my first time watching it, I felt kind of claustrophobic. The world is so tiny. London doesn't exist, there's just this one corner of Whickber street, and it's gone to shit.

CG rat is back! I love CG rat. I wonder if the rats are still communicating with Crowley on some level. It feels like it's trying to show Aziraphale what has happened to his street.

That conversation with Mrs Sandwich... I'm not sure what to mske of it. I get where she's coming from. On some level, even if they don't remember the night of the WSTA meeting, the residents probably know Aziraphale is guarding them somehow. He's a literal and figurative cornerstone of the community. And then he's gone, and it all goes down the drain. Also, Crowley probably came to her to cry a lot in the early days after Aziraphale was gone, so she drew her conclusions from that. But "you never cared for him"? That's just deliberately cruel of her. Well. Maybe that's what she's like. As a prostitute/madam, you probably need some claws to scratch people with. Humans say deliberately cruel things all the time. But still.

Aziraphale's eyes darting around as he says "I love Whickber Street". Yes darling. We all know what you’re thinking.

God, I hate the graffiti in this movie. It's so clean. I've never seen graffiti like that. It's either high art or some smears. This is trained artists pretending to make something that looks natural and missing by a mile. But has anyone noticed all the arrows in this scene?

Not Crowley having arranged the trashcans so neatly in a half circle and then lying down like an Egyptian mummy 😂 god what a drama queen. Do you think he heard Aziraphale and Mrs Sandwich talking and went "oh shit, how do I want him to find me? Quick quick, make it pretty!"

God, Crowley’s coice is so soft when he says "I'm fine down here, thanks." I really, really love what DT does with Crowley’s voice. He has so many colours in there. He rarely goes soft, but when he does, it's usually because he's emotional in some way. Usually grief. He's pushing up his glasses to make sure Aziraphale doesn't see, flips him off for good measure, but he can't keep it out of his voice. Give this man his Bafta already!

Ew, Aziraphale is so callous throughout this entire movie. First Jesus, now "I know you're upset with me, but I'm willing to overlook that." What? That's just gross. And that's *after* Mrs Sandwich just told him "you're a taker, you never really cared". Gagging noises

"Oh we're way beyond little dances, angel." And this is the first time Aziraphale actually looks even remotely upset. We used to call him Michael "acting choices" Sheen, and gush about his microexpressions. He could have easily saved this scene. A great actor like him should be able to make something even out of the shit he was given here. But he just... didn't. He and Rachel Talalay made the choice to keep him callous and unempathetic. And I don’t understand why. I can’t imagine four years in Heaven have undon everything Aziraphale was before.

Ok, there are Chinese lanterns in Whickber Street. Does that tell us it's set around Lunar New Year? So, February 17th? And Mutt's widow/er is walking around sleeveless? Sure. You know, that's a detail that upset me even in S1. It's the height of August iirc, and, as Newt puts it, Tadfield has hot summers. And yet, everyone is walking around like it's October, all bundled up.

"You'd expect rats, wouldn’t you?" Crowley is the lord of the rats. He talks to CG rat. As long as he decides there are no rats in the shop, CG rat will do his bidding.

"I wasn’t gonna lose this place, as well." "Oh." What do you mean, "oh"? Did you not think Crowley would be upset about the bookshop going to ruin? Did you think the shop meant nothing to him? Did you only just realise? You're the one who went on about "we both got plenty of use out of it"! Ughh. Oblivious angel is oblivious. I do love the tone of that "oh" though. There's the MS I know.

"You know what they say about the road to Hell? Needs repaving." Is such a good line. At face value, it's just silly. But - is that Crowley telling Aziraphale to go to Hell? It's so subtle, I didn’t even catch it the first time around.

And yes, I get where Aziraphale is coming from. This is bigger than the two of them, and quite urgent. But... take five minutes to sit down with him. Have a conversation that isn't just sarcasm. I'm not saying to confess to each other or anything, but how is he exoecting the two of them to cooperate when Crowley can barely look at him without snapping? They used to be so in tune. I know miscommunication is a popular trope with them, but really, they used to be quite good at it. Most of their communication *works.* There is no reason for them to talk past each other like this, unless it's intentional. Aziraphale is intentionally ignoring how upset Crowley is, and Crowley is too upset to not block him off. They used to be able to talk about things. Think of the conversation on the cliff in the Job minisode. Flood. Golgatha. "Your bookshop burned down, remember?". They rarely ever had a straight, clear, explicit conversation about feelings and other delicate things like that, but they used to be able to talk about them in their own, roundabout way. What happened? Why have they just randomly lost that? Why has Aziraphale randomly lost the ability, or the will, to relate to Crowley?

Terry Pratchett's hat and scarf are still there. Sobs

Brian Cameron. Such a good character. Shame he wasn’t used for anything. Shame the boys (gn) are just going to leave him to die later on. Shame he is of no consequence. I for sure thought he was working for Hell. Nope. Just a human gangster who... exists. I for sure thought he would have bearing on the plot later in the movie. Nope. He takes the car, he loses the car, that's it. It doesn't even really bring Aziraphale and Crowley closer together. What a useless plotpoint, stretched out for no reason, taking up precious run time that could have gone to, idk, pacing. Fleshing out Jesus and giving him a satisfying ending, instead of lampshading him like that.

Btw I'm at 31 minutes and I've been going for two hours. Oops. I'll finish this scene and hit post. The tumblr app is being annoying.

Also, Crowley in a turtleneck again. Nice. Why is he wearing a button up/henley later, if he has no money and no miracle budget?

Yesterday, in my TTRPG party, we were talking about playing mean characters. I mentioned that I had meant to play my wizardess way meaner and darker, but I'm really bad at that. I just can't play mean characters. Another player said "I'm sorry but... yeah. You can’t." The fact of the matter is, I can’t even play Monopoly properly. Last time I did, I was winning against my sister and BIL. And I felt so bad I allowed them to fuse and bankrupt me. I am highly suspicious of people who are good at Monopoly.

I do want Heaven and Hell themed Monopoly though, that looks fun.

Why does the Heaven card make a chicken noise? It's probably meant to be a party hooter sound, but it just sounds like a chicken to me.

Celestial Detour - move back 3 spaces then forward 4. Which does... nothing? It moves you forward 1? Why is Crowley losing money over that? Have the CG people ever played Monopoly?

Playing Monopoly with two people sucks, btw.

Why does Brian Cameron have Heaven themed Monopoly, btw?

Right. One glass of wine and half an hour in. Send post.

haemey

I've switched to my notes app, instead of typing on tumblr. The app keeps jumping between paragraphs and it annoys the hell out of me. Also, at some point, I'll stop correcting my typos. Because it's funny. Maybe sometime through the second glass of wine.

Can I just say how upset I am that everyone calls Joshua Jesus? His first line is literally "I'm Joshua, son of Joseph." And then everyone proceeds to call him Jesus. That's not his name! As someone who has a Jesus OC, I feel very strongly about this.

Crowley is so funny. "I'm not helping you. And I have no way to get my Bentley back." Immediately goes to steal the Bentley. Nevermind that he fails. He's still so eager to please his angel, it's frankly adorable.

"Who're you?" "I'm a retired bookseller!" Ok I laughed out loud at that. That was pretty funny.

Also why does Brian Cameron have random mirrors halfway up the walls in his dilapidated garage? Also I hate his glasses. They're ugly. His suit is nice, though. I like teal. It's my favourite colour besides violet/warm purple.

"I've come to get my friend back." Your friend is fine. He's annoyed at you, but fine. "And our ca- his car." Oh, honey.

Aziraphale really thinks he's intimidating. Crowley is so embarrassed.

"I'm rescuing you." He's so proud of himself. Oh, this would have made for such a wonderful full episode. As one of six episodes, this whole arc would have made sense. As part of a 90-min movie... it's too much. It takes up too much space and significance. For nothing.

Aziraphale is such a little shit. "You're the second best player of games of skill and chance in all of London. Well done." I love it. He got another laugh out of me.

"Competitive crossword solving!" With the same expression as "... and investigate!" I cackled. This is such a good scene. It's so good. This feels like Good Omens! This is funny! The acting is on point, the writing is decent, and Aziraphale, patron saint of malicious compliance, is really coming into his own. God, I wish we had more of this calibre in this movie.

Why is Aziraphale reading everything out loud? That's hella annoying. He's going to break BC's concentration, that's not fair. If it's Crowley, yes, he's using every dirty trick at his disposal. Aziraphale though? I feel like his own pride wouldn't allow him to do something like that. I get that it's for our benefit as the audience, but it irks me.

Ah. The pedometer. Wow. Not that I would have gotten it, but... wow. What a thing to highlight. I'm almost annoyed. Mostly because that was NG's tease and now I'm mad at the word. I do love how happy Aziraphale sounds when he says it though.

Why are some of the lines pinker than others? Did our angel have to strike something through? Did he have to correct? Did he allow his pen to bleed? Shakes head

I asked this back when I watched this for the first time, I'm asking it again: how does Aziraphale know David Bowie? It's just Bebop. Unless he secretly listens to and collects trivia about pop music, and just is a bastard about it to annoy Crowley. Which would be 100% in character. But since this is the only piece of evidence we have... how does Aziraphale know David Bowie?

At least Crowley seems to wonder the same thing, judging by his expression.

Ok so, BC raises a gun and immediately has a heart attack. Did Aziraphale give him a heart attack to stop him from shooting? Does he not know what a heart attack looks like after 6000 years amongst humans and thus is able to play it off? Also why is BC so upset? I get that he wanted the Bentley, but... why is it that important to him? What does the Bentley mean to him? This bit really upsets me.

Anyway, we have a Bentley, she's cleaner than she's been since Crowley bought her, and we have Queen-like music. Awesome.

"A deal's a deal." Oh piss off, Aziraphale. Would it kill you to treat Crowley with kindness for once in this film? He clearly wants to make up with you on a genuine level, and you make it transactional. Argh.

It's raining irl, btw. It's loud enough that I can hear it even with my headphones. And I'm inside, with a glass of wine and a blanket. This is awesome.

Back to Good Omens.

"Otherwise, I [...] wouldn't need you!" "You wouldn’t need me. Right. Nice." Again, I know what Aziraphale is trying to say but... ouch. They really did him dirty in this. This is probably the most upsetting thing in the first 75 minutes of this whole thing. Callous, cold, uncaring Aziraphale. What did he do to my cinnamon roll?

Investigating Muriel is adorable. I hate that everyone calls them dim. They deserved better. They deserved more kindness from everyone. Aziraphale said he needed someone nice up there, right? And then, later, when we get to that scene, he just... brushes them off, when they come to him with their findings?

I think maybe that's what's missing. That's what makes this whole thing feel so... off. So hollow. It's the kindness. Good Omens was always kind to its characters. And now, suddenly, it's so cold.

Saraqael just reversing their hoverchair when Muriel asks their questions is extremely funny though. I laughed again. Liz Carr is great. That facial expression cracks me up.

Does Mrs Sandwich run the café? Or does the owner just act as agent for her? Either way, that's a strange business venture.

Does Justine run the café? What happened to Marguérite's? Did she have to give up her bistro to take over Give me coffee? Is that more lucrative? Then why did Nina leave? Weird.

Again, naive Jesus. I get that he needs to talk to Harry the Fish for plot reasons. I get that he's seen the advert and is asking for the lady because of that. But again, real Jesus was very well aware of prostitutes. He would have known what that advert was advertising. And he would probably have been able to clock that sitting at a random stranger's table was a little weird. He may still have done it, mind you. But not out of naiveté.

As a non native speaker - what does "work the Monte" mean?

The "how about some music" scene weirds me out. Aziraphale is trying to get a rise out of Crowley, and Crowley is wholly unresponsive. Both are understandable. And then, out of nowhere "stop flustering me, I can’t think straight!" Huh? What? How is he flustering you? You haven't been flustered by him this entire time! If you had, you'd have treated him differently. Am I too aro? What am I missing here?

"You leave me to sort out Heaven, and you make it even more of a mess than it was already!" Ok, now this is on Crowley. He's being mean. And I don't think he's in any place to talk. He messed up Warlock and Adam!

Also, hear that? "You leave me"? Since... since when are we talking about that? Since when is Crowley in a place where he's able to openly address that? That's another thing that weirds me out about their communication in this. On one hand, they keep talking past each other in ways they wouldn't have earlier. On the other, they, especially Crowley, just... openly say things they would have danced around before. What is happening? Is he just so over everything that he can just... say that?

And then Aziraphale just... goes along? "How could we have been happy [on Alpha Centauri]?" Since when does he say things?!?

I mean, at least they're somewhat talking somewhat honestly. Proud of them.

"So that everybody can have a chance including us!" 😭 and Crowley, who used to be so proud of how strong his angel was, just responds with sarcasm.

If there was a chance for them to repair their relationship, this would be it. Aziraphale going "look, I understand I hurt you, and I am sorry. But can't you see I had to try?" And/or Crowley going "you failed, shit sucks. But I get that you had to try." Ugh. That's a subject for a fix-it I refuse to write.

Lol the "corridor in the space between" is such a plothole. What do you mean you can just walk from Heaven to Hell via a single hallway? Why is no one using that? This is such a funny concept. I have to use that at some point. Angels and demons meeting up there for a metaphorical smoke before going back to their respective offices. I love this useless thing. Again, so much pitential for twists. Nothing done with it.

I still don't understand why Michael has to face the person she's erasing. Sadism? Does the Book not work at a distance? Does she need to see that it works? Also... why not just burn the entire thing in one go? Did she have a different plan in the beginning, but it veered off when she went insane?

Also, why do they get turned into graffiti on the walls? Wait, is that why the graffiti is so weird?

Also, why not show us reality catching up? Crowley later says it takes a while, but why not show us that? It's just lazy writing. There is such potential for horror and tension there. But "eh, it takes a while, so no need to show any of that"? That's bad writing.

Crowley eats his ice cream. The first time we see him eat. Yay!

Walks behind Aziraphale. "Come on!" Lol

Yeet!

And now, Crowley is tagging along. Grumpily, but he is. I take back what I said about their communication issues, clearly it still works. Crowley grumps, Aziraphale enthused, good times are had by all.

That gold waistcoat. Oh, how I loathe it. In a weirdly endeared way. It's so shiny. In the book, Crowley tells Aziraphale that "Heaven has no taste," and clearly, he's right. The white streaks in his hair, as well. Why.

Oooh, Michael that snake-slaying snake. "Muriel is perfect for the job, your assistance is not required." I was wondering why she was being so nice to Muriel the first time around. Now I just hate how patronising she is towards them. Makes me want to shred something.

Bastard Aziraphale my beloved. "Complaint duly noted and registered." Fuck off you little shit 😂

And Saraqael is still one of my favourites. "Will it make a difference?" "Oh no." That face of "whelp. I tried." I giggled. Liz Carr, you wonderful person.

Again. The moment of theft was erased from reality (meaning it never happened, so the Book should still be there?), and reality accepted that. But everyone still remembers the Metatron. "Soon enough, you'll forget all about them." And then they never do!

"I can take a look [in Hell]" with that tongue in cheek again. His investigating face. Investiface.

"You're not a demon" says the demon who simply put on a beige tracksuit to fool Heaven. Shut up. Tell Aziraphale about that, by the way. My angel died, never knowing about the beige tracksuit and swimming pool sandals. The greatest tragedy of all.

"I'm a master of disguiiiisseeee!" Makes a weird noise as he shows off his teeth "No your no-oh, that's actually really good" NO IT'S NOT IT'S BAD WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING HIM

I am cackling again. Good job. Doesn't change the fact that it's dumb. And not a good disguise. I mean, Slorch will be. This? Is not.

Also, the first time I watched it, I genuinely thought my screen had frozen because Aziraphale holds so still as he shows off his teeth. Is that a weird editing thing? Is it a weird Michael Sheen thing? What is that?

And there's that weird noise again as Slorch. Oh how I loathe that nose. How does no one notice the nose? Do demons just sometimes have noses that look ready to fall off?

Also demon Muriel is so adorable. That BAD on their cheek is the cutest thing.

Secretary Eric. Oh sweety. That lipstick is not your colour. I'm giggling.

Aaaand the teeth again. He's so proud of those! You did a good job, yes you did. Nice teeth. Didn't know Hell had dental.

And Dagon just... buys it. You'd think they'd know the All The Way Downstairs People. Right?

Oh. They don't. Ehehe.

They do.

The way Slorch hisses at Dagon is so funny. He's so happy playing dress-up!

Jehoshua and Harry are wonderful together. I love them.

Aziraphale, you're not fooling anyone by refusing food. We all know you're just wanting Crowley to tempt you a bit more. Don't pretend otherwise.

Aaaand here we go again. "Choosing Heaven instead of me?" "I chose Heaven because of you." We've had this argument. We've had it before, and it actually let them cooperate. And now we're back at it. At least Crowley is willing to hear Aziraphale out this time.

I love the colour framing though. Aziraphale with warm beiges and yellows, and Crowley with cool greys and bright red. Very nice.

I want to know why Crowley knows so much about the Book? More than anyone else? He didn't even know the Book/erasing someone from it was real until Beelzebub told him about the threat. Where is all of this coming from?

Aaand there is Misty. And Muriel. And everyone is acting weird again. In a very gomensy-ungomensy way. How does Aziraphale not care he sent a man to the hospital? Why is everyone mean to Muriel? Why is Muriel in their Insoector Constable uniform again?

"I'm the useful idiot!" Yes. That's what Michael uses you for. And it's good you worked that out. But I hate the way it's constabtly framed like they are an idiot.

"Hell is not mocked!" "How about some gentle ribbing?" Snort

Misty is getting on my nerves. She would make sense in this scene if anyone cared about BC. No one does. She's just a walking interruption. Which makes me sad for her. It's not even comic relief, even if she's meant as that. Her dad is in hospital, and these two people are at fault, and they don't even care. This whole thing genuinely sucks for her. She deserved better.

Aziraphale could have done his "you should be by his side" thing earlier and saved us from this. Then again, I am biased. Maybe it's funny if you're not.

Anyway, whooooaaaa whaaaaat empathetic Aziraphale? Whooooaaaaa! What a concept! My flabbers are ghasted!

I like that Misty's gasoline guy sits down to eat the leftover dim sum. You go, gasoline guy. No food waste here!

Ugh, cartoon villain Michael. "Just the one item for Aziraphale: not existing anymore." Then why not just unexist him?!? "The Second Coming must happen as was foretold." The Second Coming of Christ. Which, famously, involves Christ. And you unexist him. Destruction, yes. After Christ has done his job! Urgh.

"Would you like to know how I did it?" Stop monologuing. Why? Why the monologue? Why the Bond Villain thing?

And that's my second glass of wine gone. I'm still feeling mostly fine. I'll stretch my legs for a second, then come back.

haemey

Last round, last of the wine. Here we go.

Btw, right now, I barely feel tips, because I've eaten while watching, and also, it's been two glasses ober five hours. I'll try to make the last 40 minutes of the movie not last three hours.

Meaning: less spellcheck! (It me. I'm spellcheck.)

Michael just wrnt from Cattoon Bond Villain Monilogue to book-ripping mania in literally ten seconds flat. That's what we in the business call character development, I guess.

"We just lost Canada." Lol

Now I need a fic about the Heavenly significance if Canada. Or a meta. Is it because Canadians are so nice? Is it because they apologise for everything? Saraqael sounds so distraught.

"Nonononono, it's impossible, it won't let you destroy it." And how do you know, Crowley? Hm? How do you know? I'm so serious. How do you know? Why are you rhe exoert on Book of Lifeology?

Also, ehy is he back in disguise? No one cares. It's not like there's an automstic defense thingy that incinerates everyone who wears black, is there?

I only just noticed how short his sleeves are. His shirt is a proper length, but the jacket sleeves are *so short.* And that waistcoat is *so shiny.* And those trousers are *so tight.* I miss the horrid beige tracksuit.

I am having questions about those trousers that I do not want to be asking.

Why is .ichael even thinkikg about if she should destroy Australia? Why is she thinking at all? If she wants to destroy everything, why not toss the whole book?

Big bouncing rats is funny though.

N'aw. They almostvhugged. That is, Aziraphale pulls Crowley over to cover the screen so that we don’t have to have an awkward CG transition from the yellow ice cream truck to the Bentley. Btw, Crowley didn’t even complain about it this time! That's weirda

Oi! One shot, the emblem is an ice cream cone, next one it's the Bentley B! And without a miracke sound! What gives? Ixm upset! *cue Cinema Sins ding sound*.

"On Earth ablut 150. Up there, a whole lot faster than light." Takes off, leaving a glowing trail, definitely going faster than 150, while on Earth. *ding*

Don't Stop Me Now starts playing. Which is fitting. But... they do know that the "I'm a shooting star" line is about orgasm, right? They do know that, right? I can’t unhear it. "I'm in love with my car" indeed.

Ok that tiny friving sequence was fun.

And back to boring old Soho, where Jesus awkwardly does card tricks. Oh Jehoshua, you deserved better.

This scene is genuinely sweet.

Oh look, extras!

"Looking back, this is precisely the thing that got me into trouble last time." No. Uhm. You got in trouble because you were stirring up masses thatvwere getting dangerous for the establishment, and you were upsetting the religious leaders with your teachings. Telling people they're going to be fine and you'll comfort them? Not what killed you.

"Always wanted to put my foot all the way down" *screams* why is Crowley screaming? One moment, he's talking normall,, next he's screaming. Why? It's not even a rollercoaster whoop. Look at this face and tell me he's having a grand old time. In over our heads are qe?

The miraculous multiplication of pizza. Ahem. Elaborate bread and cheese. I love it. It's sonsweet. It's exactly what I would want from a modern Jesus figure. And him indeed comforting everyone. This Jesus genuinely could have made a difference. He could have made the world better this time around. And he could have saved so many souls.

Again.

What a waste.

And now Hell is declaring war! How dramatic! I sure hope that's not going to cause any problems down the line!

Did... did Michael just erase the concept of Armageddon? What was that? Why did she whisper "Armageddon" to the Eternal Flame?

Also, does anyone else have Atomic Kittens playing in their mind everytime that term comes up?

Oh nooo, Hell is gone! Whoops.

"You know, you weren't completely dim." "Oh. I was." FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF NO THEY WEREN'T THEY’RE NAIVE AND GULLIBLE BECAUSE THEY WERE NEVER TAUGHT HOW TO FUNCTION OUTSIDE OF BEING A SCRIVENER AAAAAAAHHHH THIS MAKES ME SO MAD

And there go the humans. I sure hope Jesus will be alright!

Oh nooooo, how could this happen?

*sigh*

"I never really seemed to get much of a go." It's alright. It's not your fault. You did everything you were supposed to. But you're right. You didn’t.

*sigh*

And Crowley is sitting *right next to Michael* and he just lets her burn everything.

And now she's gone off the rails. Which would make so much sense if we had spent five minutes less on BC and five minutes more on her.

And Crowley just lets her burn stuff.

"There's only ever one way to fix things. I'm going to forgive you." Hnnnnngh

As someone who has so many people she will never forgive, and who is still quite happy - screw that. Again. *Again,* I get what he's saying. BUT! First of all, forgiving her won't fix anything. It won't bring anything back. Secondly,

I forgot my second point. Ah well. That's the wine.

Anyway. Everything is gone. How lucky that Crowley, Aziraphale, and Michael herself weren't in the Book, right? Hahahaha. I wonder what will happen to her when they return to the bookshop. If Aziraphale truly forgives her, they should have taken her with them. Instead, they just leave her to disintegrate.

Oh wait she's just gone? Oh that's fun! I hadn't even noticed the first time, oops!

And she can’t forgive herself? What's that about? So she knows she's doing something bad? What can she not forgive herself for? Destroying everything? That makes *no sense!* unless it's a Judas situation. Where Judas was always meant to betray Jesus, maybe even sent by him to set things in motion (depending on the version), but even though he technically did the right thing, he couldn't forgive himself and hanged himself. Is Michael taking on a Judas role here? Knowing/thinking she's technically doing the right thing, but unable to forgive herself for the harm she's doing in that?

Did she nlt want to end everything? Wasn’t that the original goal of the Second Coming? This is so interesting.

And obviously, Crowley knows how to travel by Book.

"There's one more thing that needs fixing." "What?" "I need you to forgive me." AAAAAAHHHGHHHHGG It's not genuine forgiveness if you have to coerce it out of someone. Also, that's not what needs fixing! What needs fixing is "us", or "our relationship," or something like that. Crowley's feelings (his lack of forgiveness) is not what needs fixing! Hrk!

"I need to hear you say it." 😑 you know, if ever there was an argument to be made for abusive Aziraphale, this is it. "You have to forgive me now!" That's not how it works. Forgiveness comes from the person giving it. You can’t demand it! This makes me so angry. You can ask for it. You can explain and justify yourself, in hopes of obtaining it. But you can't just demand it!

Crowley's answer is appropriately un-genuine. It feels like he's only saying what Aziraphale wants to hear, not because he really feels it. And that's just... so bad. On so many levels.

This hurts. For anyone who has ever fought with anyone - you cannot *expect* forgiveness. It is not your decision to make.

My anger, my lack of forgiveness, is literally what kept me alive at some points. If my high school bullies stood in front of me and demanded forgiveness from me, I would punch them. If I had an ex who, idk, cheated on me, or left me for someone else, or something like that, and they stood before me and demanded forgiveness, *I would punch them!* This is some bullshit.

Obviously, yes, this is Crowley and Aziraphale, and pbviously Crowley has already forgiven him and is just reluctant to say it, and Aziraphale knows and is just coaxing it out of him. But... it still feels disingenuous. On both sides.

It feels too easy. And too hard, at the same time.

Crowley is very obviously still upset. Aziraphale is very obviously just... exoecting them to be fine.

That's not how it works.

Ok, but the little "thank you" from Aziraphale and the tiny almost-smile from Crowley are adorable.

"Hundred thousand blank books, but one with all the answers in them." Pastor's child me is trying very hard not to be obnoxious right now. It would be thematic, ok?

And where is Satan coming from, now? No seriously, where did he come from? Where was he?

"Even the Dickens." What's up with the Dickens? Why are they special? Why wouldn’t they be blank? Is there something about Dickens? Is he not human? Did Aziraphale write the Dickens? I NEED ANSWERS

"I know you." You could have just said he's Satan, you know. I'd exoect you've met him before. In fact, "oh lookie here, it's Lucifer and the guys!" you have. No need to be all mysterious.

"Last time you saw me, I was a thousand feet high. [...] arguing with my son." More like... ten, from the waist up. Twenty at most. And Benedict Cumberbatch. But who cares about those details.

"Oh, we were never friends." You sure?

"I don’t give answers." Ok. Well then. Guess we'll just... be silent at each other for the rest of eternity.

Diabolus ex machina. Hngk.

"You were just doing your job." Are you going to tell us what that job was? That the Fall was predetermined? That Lucifer was, idk, commissioned to make half the angels rebel for some reason?

I like that Crowley doesn't look away from Satan for a single second. I wouldn’t either. And I'm pretty sure if Crowley were to poke around the shop, Aziraphale would keep a close eye on him, too.

And Crowley writes into Bleak House. I have never read Bleak House. I know it's a Dickens, which is, unfortunately, blank. As are all the Dickens. Which, for some reason, is significant.

Can someone tell me what Bleak House is about?

Oh Crowley, ever the tempter. "D'ypu want to write it?" "Give me the pen!" In the same tone as "give me the facts!" Aziraphale's enjoying himself way too much.

Also, I just realised - no music. Since the Book was burned - no music.

Also, the way Crowley moves to shield Aziraphale from Satan, still not letting him leave his sight. Augh, my heart.

The grandfather clock says 9:20, if I am reading it correctly. Wasn’t the world made at 9:15? Now, that's interesting.

And the music starts up again the moment Aziraphale writes God into the shop. Which makes sense. But also... ugh. So on the nose.

Right, Imma empty my glass real quick. That's the last of the whole bottle of rosé. I feel a bit queasy, more from the volume of liquid I have dunk than from the alcohol. Let's see how hard it hits by the end.

Satan is standing under the W for West, by the way. Probably significant. What with Aziraphale being the guardian of the Eastern gate. And there's probably something about God and East, too. I can’t think of it though.

Oooh, there's the wine. Hello! (Siad in Crowley's tone when talking to Mr Brown)

"So, Crrrrowley, what's your question?" Ehehe

Aziraphale encouraging Crowley to ask his question is so sweet ❤️

Crowley not getting and answer is not. I mean, he kind of answers his own question? But not really. And they never circle back to it. And that makes me so angry.

"You say that as if it negates me wanting to do the right thing." You tell him!

"You were the first amgel to lie to me." Pans over to Crowley, looking suspicious. Did he not know? He had to have known, right? He almost looks jelaous. "What? First to lie to you? What about me?" Lol

That's the wine talking, I think

"You were lazy. Gluttonous. Prideful." "Quite true!" Yes, Aziraphale, own it!

"I was also the second best angel you ever had." Aaaaaaand there it is. Ew. Gross. Hrk. You didn't even know Angel!Crowley. You don’t knwo what he was liek, besides entgusiastic about stars. Look. I'm fine with him praising Angel!Crowley (even though it doesn't make sense), as long as he acknowledges that Demon!Crowley exists and is better and right. Which he doesnt. So. Ew.

My fingers are getting wobbly. I can feel the alcohol creeping into my brain. I have never drunk am entire bottle of wine on my own before. And I know why. I haven’t even changed into my pajamas yet. Should have done before I finished my glass. Whelp. I'll figure it out.

Anyway.

"I was a terrible angel." Do you even temember, Mr Selective Memory? Gone all bashful, have we? What about "the angel you knew os not me", hm? What about "I'm a demon"? This is so not Crowley. I mean, it's the end of everything. Maybe he's come to accept his past. After all, what else are you going to do? Vut still. It feels wrong for Crowley to just accept this "compliment." I don’t think I need to tell anyone this. We all know. But it bears repeating.

"Ou wete the best of us." YOU DON’T K OW THAT

OG god I just sat ups traight. Bad idea.

NOOOOOONONONONOKONO NOT THE MUSIC! It's the romantic guitarctheme! Not that! Not at this moment! Fuck off!

In case you don't know what I mean - in S1, it was, electric guitar? Piano? Something like that, and it meant action, plan, doing. In S2, it became soft acoustic guitar, and it was dtill action and plan, but also romantic. I think it's wheen Aziraphale summons the chandelier? Not sure. But it is romantic. Now, it's slowed down, right when Aziraphale tells Crowley what a wonderful angel he was.

NOP. EW. GROSS. NO.

That is *not* the theme I want to hear here! Nuh-uh!

I'm going to cry.

Also, I need to pee. Wish me luck pn my way to the bathroom - I'm a bit dizzy.

(Crowley voice) I'm back. Took the opportunity to brish my teeth and chancge into my pajamas. Am jappy to report Ixm surprisingly fine. I can even stand on one leg with my eyes closef. I am ver tired though. It's almosz 3:30 am. I've been eatching since 8pm, meaning for seven hours. This thing is 90 min long. Holy shit.

I'll have to do a word count tomorrow.

I am quite drunk though, too. Good think I have a bottle of water next to the bed. Where I cureebtly already am, since Ixm watching from my bed. Very convenient. Just have to turn off my beamerr via remot, turn off the light, and go to sleep.

Anyway. Where were we? Ah yes. In the pit of despair.

Oh good nees about the music, it was just the first motif, not the entire thing. Dies that make it better? No.

"You were an artist." Sure. But I am German and I can think of a few not so good artists. Not in twrms of art. In terms of good.

"I'm nobody's character" fuck off Satan, this is the first time Aziraphale has showed genuine emption all day. Don't ruin it

Urgh, that satisfied smile from both God and Satan when Aziraphale talks about how much of a tidy ending it is. I met a politician with that exact smile recebtly. We were at a protest, because theatres in German are struggling to survive, and they don't get enough money to pay the legally binding wages. He was smiling like it was an event to his honour. It was disgusting.

Anyway.

"The cosmic game of chess is over. You've really just been a stand-in in a cos.ic game of solitaire." Now - I understand what he means. But I do not understand what he's saying. What's a stand-in in solitaire? How does that even work? I AM TOO ND FOR THIS SHIT

ok so people are saying Crowley barely reacts when Aziraphale asks his "why give me Crowley and thentake imhim away" question. Je doesn't. He observes, and then moves towards Aziraphale.

He doesn't have a big reaction to the confession because he already knows. They both already knew. Their love for each other was never a secret. It"s not a shock for Crowley to learn.

Aaaand now I'm crying.

I didn’t cry the first time.

"Because you were able to value what most people don't even know they have." That's not an answer. That's the answer of "why give me Crowley", but not "and then take him away."

God doesn't asnwer shit. Crowley was right.

Also, again, Crowley is reacting. Just not in a bog way.

Go ahead, tell me he's unaffected.

"You still haven't answrted the firsz questiona" you tell her, Crowley!

No wirter in their right mind would ever say "a story doesn't have to go beyonf the last page of ot's book." Not a one. Because a good story goes on beyond the last page. If it ends with the paper, you did something wrong. A *good* story continues in the mind of the reader. "And they lived happily ever after." Or, in German, "if they haven't died, they're still alive today." Even fairy tales follow that rule. Storied are *meant* to continue beyong their last page.

I can’t believe an accompisjed storyteller like NG wrote that.

Yeah, yeah, Crowley doesnxt accept that. But I am the god of the worlds I create. And as such, I am aware fo this. God needs to be aware of that.

This is, maybe, the most egregious bit. I'm all for deities being proven wrong in stories. ButShe shouldn't have to be proben wrong. She should know better. She created a universe full of stories. She created a universe of storytellers. Because that's what humans are. Humans have told stories ever since language existed (btw, did you know there's a theory that usic is older tjan language? Fascinating stuff). And God would know about that. I refuse to accept a God that doesnknow how stories work. Even within a story.

Ugh that mocking tone. "Do youbwant me to put everything back the way it was?" Yes. Pleade. And then kindly fuck off.

The Bookshop of Eden. How cute.

Why tgough?

"I only want one thing. And that's not what this is about anymore." It could be tgough? Crowley specifically asked cwhy me?" As in "what aboutcwhat you want?" If Aziraphale took this moment to say "I want a world where we can be together, free, and happy" Crowley would have gone along with it, liekly.

Aaaand Ixm crying.

Why lesve this decision to Crowley alone? They both can choose. God gave zjem both a choice.

"You know what I wabt." Does he? *does he?* have you given any indication of what you want? I think not. Up until ten minutes ago, you were frantically trying to save the world, and the humans therein. And now you've just... stopped. Why?

God litwrally gave you the option to get it back. Why not take it?

Look at this angel and tell me he's on board with this. He's accepting Crowley’s choice, because it's what Crowley wants. But you cantell me he's ok with it.

Aaaand there is the music from the F15. Fuck off. Ixm already sobbing.

First watchthrough made me laugh incredulously. This one just makes me sad and angry, because I'm taking the time to think about it.

"I want Free Will to be a real thing." And it wasn't? When the book explicitly stated that it was Crowley who wasn't supposed to have Free Will, but picked it up from zhe humans? What's that about?

Like... from a S2 perspective, I get it. This is the former angel who Fell for wanting his stars to have a chance to develop and and evolve. He would want the same for humans. From a book and S1 perspective? This is some bullshit.

"No us. Ever again." Aaaand that's why Fellony doesnwork.

How can Aziraphale go along with that? It's the opposite of what he wants. The literal opposite! Why isn't he putting up even any token resistance? Wjy isn't he saying anything? No, I guess Crowle didn't say the *wrong* thing. But Aziraphale just agrees to something so dismetrically opposed to anything he wants, without even the slightest discussopn. He just accepts it. Rolls over. That's what hurts even more than Crowley wanting a new universe. Because that, I can somehwat understand. Aziraphale, egotistic, hedonistic Aziraphale not reaching for what he wants? No. That doesn't make sense.

This isn't a temptation, wher ehe wants to be taken in that direction anyway and goes willingly.

You can see his heart breaking while Crowley is still talking.

Maybe that's it. Crowley has given up, and Aziraphale doesn't see a future for them anymore, not like that. Not if Crowley is willing to let it all be destroyed. Not if Crowley isn’t willing to put a fight anymore.

It's the only explanation I have, besides Aziraphale fonally growing some empathy and indulging in that way too much, maybe to make up for his past callousness.

Either way it"s heartbreaking.

"I believe we've come to a decision." No. Crowley has said what he wants. You've decided that you're not worth fighting for.

Ok I need to knwo what "ket's not and say we did" is about. Who is Satan talking about?

"Neither of you could ever exist in such a universe." And that's why Fellony doesn't work.

"Eventually there'll be humans" so... there is a plan, am I hearing correctly? You're planning the universe in a way to steer evolution towards humans? That's not a godless universe. That's not an un-ineffable universe.

That's a mockery.

And the finger kiss - where is that music from? Is that the chandelier? I donrecall. It is a rearrangement of a previosu music, though.

Also, "in Europe, that finger kiss means-" nope. Ixm European and it doesn. Maybe in a different part of Europe. Vut not where I'm from. Pleade be more specific. It is a gesture used when interacting with holy relics, though, implemented so people don't slobber all over the bones of the Saints. But I don't know about any significance for interpersonal interaction.

God disintegrated too, though. That's nice.

Big bang hweee!

And why is Derek called Derek? Nina and Maggie were weird enough. Why Derek?

"We've had this for years" poor Anthony

Ok they are cute. "It's my lucky day!" "Mine too! Because I have a book you want." "Fair enough." That is adorable.

I do not accept them as a continuation of Corlwey and Aziraphale. But they are cute on theirbown.

"Definitely shouldn't have mentioned that." Do you mean yourself, Anthony, or do you mean Asa blurting out that nonone wants to buy your book?

Btw, I'm bad at fashion history. What decade are we in? Because I struggle to accept that Derek is just cool with Asa being gay, and telling him to go after a random prof of astrophysics who has given no indication (to my aroace eyes) to being attracted to Asa beyond basic friendliness? Unless we're in present day, and I donthink we are. And even then.

To all the people saying, well this is our ubiverse now - no. This is not present day this is the past. This would not be as easy as all that. Homophobia is ra.pant today, it was worse in the past. Even if we accept the meet-cute, them being openly on a date at a pub later tells me this is ver, much not our universe.

And again the znnaturally clean graffiti.

It is cute how the demon thingy is pointing its arrow at Anthony's heart.

Proving that humanity has still developed religion, even without God involved.

Why oh why is *everyone* wearing a sweater vest?

Look, I find cocktail mixin Michael as cute as the next gal. But why have we ended upnin sweater vest universe? *shudder*

Nope, definitely not ours. I have never worn a sweater vest and I vow never to wear one, unless it's part of a costume on stage.

Aww, Muriel and Eric!

.... Mutt's widow/er and Uriel? What?

Who is the other person at the bar? Agnes? I don’t recognise her.

Good to know Justine is still French. As can be assumed from the stripey top and baret.

Oooh, Dagon. Not Agnes. Gotcha.

Aww, and Jehoshua and Adam (who I didn’t recognise the first time because he's all grown up)

Aww, and Mr Arnold and Mrs Sandwich!

Aren't they all cute together? I sure am glad no plan went into this universe! Nothing ineffable going on at all! Nope! Nothing to see here!

I do like the portrait of PTerry.

I do not buy Time afzer Time though.

Oh, wpuld you look at this totally real apple tree! This does not look like a (ver, cheap) movie set at all!

*both look at the sky* "maybe we should, uh, look at them together?" No shit?

Further proof that it's not Crowley and Aziraphale: their voices are wrong. Aziraphale pitches his voice up, Crowley pitche shis voice down. Asa's voice is deeper than Anhhony's, though.
