I have now watched the finale of Good Omens aka GO3, 7 times.
Yeah, I know, God likes 7’s.
I also know, God is a bitch.
Writers of the finale of Good Omens in ANY capacity, this goes out to you;
Do you hate us that much? Do you completely despise us to the detriment even of profit?
David admitted he wasn’t happy because Crowley was “evaporated”. Michael used the phrase “annihilated”.
And we, WE are devastated.
We know NG stalked this site, so to think that he isn’t still doing that, I believe, is a wrong assumption.
If we have learned one thing about Neil, it’s all about control. (Call me Master) Control of the narrative. It’s his decisions, actions, words that hold the weight.
What follows isn’t by chance.
It’s because he has decided on how things will be.
When you look at what we know about his youth, being raised in Scientology, it isn’t hard to imagine how this has shaped his world. His ideals. His beliefs in right and wrong.
I never thought much about his writings as more than just fiction until I truly began to drill down into them. It was then i realized that these stories were an insight into the way Neil thought, and reacted to his world.
The Ocean at the End of the Lane - “My favorite response to this book is when people say “My childhood was nothing like this- and it was as if I was reading about me.”
If you have read this book you realize the trama the boy went through.
Sandman - “But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living…for the price of wisdom is above rubies.” Book of Job - Chapter 28, verses 12, 13, 18
The connection to Job in Neil’s work is interesting also. Who are you Neil? God or Job?
Corraline - The inference in this book are so sublime, but still there. A child that hates their life and their parents enough to wish for and receive change. Believing that change is good, only to find out you have walked into the wolves den.
As Garth told us long ago, “some of Gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.”
Scientology has formed the misogynistic rhetoric that Neil lives, writes, and believes deeply in.
Do I think Good Omens 3 would have ended the same way if the accusations had not occurred? If the pedestal remained upright, spit-polished, and revered?
Absolutely. Fucking. Not.
Because a cliffhanger ending on S3 (after a full 6 episodes) would have led to S4. There is no way Neil would have walked away from that.
I’m not talking about Neil wanting to please his “fans.” I’m talking about the millions, possibly billions of dollars in revenue he and major corporations have lost because of his actions. The possibilities were endless for merchandising this.
Asa and Anthony, I’m sure are lovely people that we all wish we could have in our lives…..but we don’t.
We have Our Ineffables. Our love for them is the messiest, silliest, most predictable thing in the Universe. And oh, how it makes Us smile.
These two would NEVER have voluntarily ended the others existence. Love always finds a way.
I have decided to channel my inner Aziraphale:
Why? Because I’m too old to carry a grudge. I’m too old to dwell on something I have absolutely no control over.
Serenity - Courage - Wisdom
They are Ours. They always were. They always will be.
