The story isn't over just because the book ends.

Some thoughts I've had since my last post. It was kind of a revelation that I've had in a couple of places over the course of a few days.

Firstly, the problem of the Final Fifteen left us in limbo for nearly three years, wanting to know what would happen between Crowley and Aziraphale. Nobody was worried about that pesky end of the world bit at the end. Just three years of a romantic cliffhanger.

I'm not speaking for anybody here, I'm not accusing anyone of necessarily believing what I'm about to say over what their actual feelings are on the finale, it's just my opinion... But the show was never about Crowley and Aziraphale's love for one another. Yeah, it became that, but it was originally about their love of humanity.

Season 2 was a big ol' distraction from that, and a broken-hearted angel and demon became the main concern. I'm not denying that I am right there with those people. But the thing that made Crowley and Aziraphale different from the rest of their sides was their love of humanity.

I will say I've been having issues with people complaining that their decision was out of character. I wholeheartedly disagree with that. And besides, like Aziraphale said, they both wanted to be together, but it was about more than that.

As for alternative endings where they simply start up where they left off, minus heaven or hell, with everyone's memories intact, would never work. Humanity had already been poked and prodded into what it was. You can't just pull that rug out from under everything and act like that would suddenly work. The knowledge of the Plan is still being affected by it. In order for them to truly take advantage of a universe with true free will, they needed to be human and have human experiences for it to truly mean anything.

I don't think Crowley and Aziraphale just vanished, and oop, they never existed, they were never real. They have existed in many different ways over many different lifetimes.

I've had people argue about Anthony and Asa not being *them* but that's the thing. They are. They're not the same, but the building blocks are the same. Their love always draws them together, and they both got to be with the one they love.

Can I talk about Good Omens 3 yet? Or are we still doing spoilers? Because I really want to talk about the weird anachronisms in s1 and s2 and how they weren't just little quirks but actual clues to an alternate timeline.

We see Crowley and Aziraphale in suits of armor about 900 years before they were actually in use.

The Bastille is still standing, even though it should have been torn down.

Hamlet being a dud.

Jane Austen running diamond heists.

Technically even Whickber Street being an alternative to Berwick Street, which is where Asa's bookshop is located.
