So, I’ve been obsessed with Pratchett since I was 15. That’s 23 years for those keeping count. I just finished GO3 and these are my initial thoughts:
Crowley and Aziraphale becoming human: I don’t love, but you could argue that that was what he planned, and I would buy it. It does follow some of his themes.
But there is a knife’s edge that Pratchett balanced between fury and compassion. He absolutely loved humanity, but he also hated what humans did to each other out of malice, spite, or even laziness. Good Omens the novel was filled to bursting with that.
The end here lacked all of that somehow. God in S1 is unknowable, but God is S3 is just a capricious bitch who seems to have it out for Crowley specifically and through him Aziraphale. The viewer certainly gets angry at God, but the narrative seems to be that, while cold, she is doing the right thing and giving them their happy ending. And while Crowley expresses compassion for humanity, it falls on such deaf ears that the narrative doesn’t actually support that.
The closing sentiment seems to be that we can make their lives better by just erasing all their trauma and baggage. No. Sam Vimes did not pull himself out of the gutter and bodily hold himself out of it every day to be told that actually amnesia would be best. If you wanted to make them human: make them keep their memories. That would have been fine.
Terry would have Crowley and Aziraphale say “fuck you” to God and protect the earth as it was. The way they protected Job’s children. The way they did at Tadfield Airbase. Here they just throw in the towel and start a new universe. They accept their failure so quickly as to be farcical.
And you will never ever convince me that TERRY PRATCHETT would have allowed the words “a story shouldn’t live past its ending” to be spoken without the speaker being immediately eaten by a banshee.
The thing about South Downs that gets me is that it was the promise of them being retired. Good Omens started as a comedy about beings (celestial, human, and occult) who are bad at their jobs, and none more so than Aziraphale and Crowley. The two of them invent the entire Arrangement as a way to skive off work and have more time to hang out together! They mouth the party line, but neither one of them more than one-quarter believes it. They always just wanted to quit and hang out and day drink and putter around and goggle at the things humans get up to and occasionally get mixed up in them. The mistake everyone around them made was assuming that being an angel and a demon said something about their nature, but really it was just their job description. And it would have been such a fitting character arc, and perfect send-off, if the ending had gotten things to where they could have said "we are not those jobs anymore, we are just us" and gotten to spend the rest of eternity being themselves. And not working. Which they are very bad at anyway.
Just saw this snippet of a Terry Pratchett interview about the reversal of the deaths in Good Omens and it floored me.
This convinces me more than anything that the ending we got is not what he would have wanted.
By the way, it is SO fucked-up that, like, through Aziraphale’s entire relationship with Crowley, he was struggling with this precipice between self-indulgence and self-denial. Like, Aziraphale is already a very indulgent person who enjoys a lot of things that a Good Angel is not supposed to care about, and he’s not immune to feeling shame and insecurity about it when Heaven points that out…
But he could still convince himself that eating at London’s best restaurants every day is not only harmless, but actually Important to his job of blending in with and inspiring humanity. But then there was Crowley….
And on some level he always knew that being with Crowley and loving Crowley were the things that made him the happiest, but he also ‘knew’ that this was wrong, bad, evil. Crowley is supposedly his ‘hereditary enemy’ and Ontologically Evil. But as always, Aziraphale can’t keep himself away from temptation and joy, but it’s just that sense of guilt manifests as the self-righteous moralizing and the emotional distance he still put between them.
And then he finally got the reaffirmation that the supposedly ‘selfish’ and ‘unheavenly’ things he wanted, Crowley and also all of the earthly delights of the world and avoiding the War, were actually the real Good Things all along. And now he can live with Crowley in a… not exactly the Happily Ever After they 100% wanted deep down, but definitely the happiest and closest mutual co-existence they ever had.
There was still tensions, Aziraphale’s desire to do good still sometimes clashes with Crowley, the end of the world was coming up again and neither of them had a good idea for stopping it, and while Aziraphale’s indulgent selfishness is not as inherently bad as he always believed it was, it did have a dark side that was making him take Crowley for granted and ‘take’ too much in their relationship. But… it didn’t seem like anything they couldn’t resolve between each other eventually.
… Until the Metatron comes in with the temptation of a lifetime, what if instead of unlearning your shame and your indoctrination and needing to balance the Greater Good with your desire to be with Crowley Happily Ever After, you really could just have it all? What if you could make Crowley the Thing You’re Not Ashamed of Loving and the two of you could fix Heaven and save the world together? Maybe even make the world a Better Place? But by taking that bait, he just hurt Crowley and drove him away from him. But he still chose Heaven, over his actual happiness with Crowley, because he convinced himself that was actually the good, selfless thing to do.
He sacrificed everything that actually made him happy, again.
I think Aziraphale's GO1 Storyline makes for a perfect narrative all on his own. Unlearning guilt and embracing 'selfishness' only to realize your supposed selfish desires are aren't only okay, but are actually way more Good than the thing you were trying to 'selflessly' sacrifice for in the first place, is a very good throughline for this story about satirizing Christianity and embracing moral grayness and Queer Love.
But since GO2 really tried to make a Thing about the idea the amount of self-sacrifice in the relationship was unbalanced... I really wish Aziraphale’s arc could conclude with him being able to lean balance, some actual shades of gray, between the importance and beauty of his ‘selfish’ love for Crowley and also not expecting him to be the one who sacrifices everything in the relationship. Instead, by the time he finally embraces the fact that nothing makes happier than simply being with Crowley and learns to not take him for granted and actually give him something to show his love… apparently the one thing Crowley wanted, the actual ‘Greater Good’, not only requires them to not be together, but for neither of them to even exist.
And Aziraphale ends this arc of his basically at the same place where he started, believing that his happiness with Crowley is antithetical to Doing the Right Thing and that he should sacrifice it all. Only this time there's nothing stopping him from actually going through with this...

No but seriously what the fuck did Merlin and Arthur talk about on the way home from the Labyrinth of Gedref. Did the two of them just ride back to Camelot in dead silence waiting for the other to bring up that they're now seemingly prepared to to die for each other no questions asked ???
Finale got us so collectively fucked that no one is even acknowledging it's (TV) Good Omens's 7 year anniversary.
Anyways here's to a show that gave us one of the most heartfelt, moving, complicated, humanly flawed and hopeful queer love stories of the century. Here's to a show that brought so many people together. Here's to a show that motivated artists and writers to create some of the most beautiful works of art ever known to man. Here's to a show that celebrated being human. Here's to a show that so many queer folks saw themselves in and affirmed for them that being themselves is the most powerful act one can do. Here's to a show that taught us that our world is messy and complicated and awful and wonderful and worth saving and most of all that it can and should be saved. Here's to a show that taught us people are rarely good or bad but just people, and even though we make mistakes along the way we still deserve the opportunity to decide for ourselves who we will be. Here's to a show that at its core is about love and hope being the things that bind us together.
Here's to you all and all of us who are not going anywhere. Here's to the world.

This is a post formed off the top of my head, but I don't like to think Asa and Anthony are meant to be the 'replacement' Aziraphale and Crowley. Their relationship is what we end the show with because it's a way to show the culmination of their plot arc - them finding each other an immesurable amount of times throughout the course of human history. They're not a perfect, or even similar, reincarnation of Aziraphale and Crowley because they're not meant to be. And it's sad! They are not the characters we knew, and they never will be again, but whoever they are they do get the chance to be genuinely in love and experience lives as new people and creatures, and they are allowed to change and be transmutative in a way they never could as angels and demons. Asa and Anthony may only get eighty years alive and forty together, but whatever part of their souls that contains their love - which is an allegory for love for humanity itself - is going to reincarnate and change and morph and exist again. However imperfect and awkward the season three ending feels, if you put aside the fact that Crowley and Aziraphale didn't get their thematically aligned 'happy ending,' it is beautiful and it is very, very human.
And what if I never needed their souls to be 'intertwined by fate'? What if all that I needed is for them to love each other because they have known and understood and shaped each other for so long? And what if I never cared about them ‘finding each other in every universe?’ What if all that I wanted is for them, in this universe where the odds were so stacked against them, to choose each other?
I never got over anything. I miss everyone and everything. nostalgia and grief kill me every day. oh and I also love going on walks.
The thing is, if the magic reveal had happened at a calmer time, or if Arthur had lived longer afterwards to properly process and reflect on what that meant, im pretty convinced he would have spent at least a week absolutely fuming about the fact that the "most powerful warlock ever" hasn't properly cleaned his room even one (1) singular time in the last decade. Bitch can do FUCKING MAGIC and command actual dragons to do his whims and cant properly fold a shirt, I'd be pissed
It was a nice day…
