Yes, I know. I'm doing it wrong.

This is what I actually think.

Because look at Season 2! something like 80% of that was pure filler. gaiman's wrist starting cramping coming up with filler so he even farmed it out to other writers! (nowadays it would be chatgpt).

There probably was a meandering, ultimately pointless 1941 part 3 featuring Aziraphale shooting some zombies and then being made to do the sadistic I am Wrong dance. There probably was some cowboy nonsense where Aziraphale is stupid and falls off a horse and Crowley sneers at him.

I don't give a shit. It's going to be filler. Because if there was anything in those scripts that wasn't filler, they would have filmed it. There was filler in the finished movie, even.

There is NOTHING that could have been written that explains why it's good to coerce a crying person who wants to live to kill themselves. Shakespeare couldn't have done it.

None of the actually big issues with this season have to do with things being cut. Because the big issues are that the show forgot what genre it was and that it was deliberately written to go against the expectations of the only people who wanted to see it.

I remember thinking that maybe cutting it down wouldn't be such a bad thing because of how stretched and flabby s2 was. What I didn't count on was the core plot being a lazy, incompetent mess that answered absolutely nothing from s2 and negated the entire point of s1.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the You Were Right dance is deeply fucked up, coming as I suspect it does from the domestic life of a massive creep. If someone admits they were wrong take it like an adult. Don't humiliate them further.

So as most of you likely know by now I was not a fan of the Good Omens finale in the slightest. When the prompt “salt” came up for a guess the author game in an anti-season 3 server, I saw a fun opportunity to rant about this horrid trope used in two series I love. Then after publishing I became aware of this quote.

Uh oh! Daddy's younger boss yelled at him today. GO BACK 3 SPACES.

Just a little meme I made cuz fuckery is abounding in fandom spaces again.

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.
