All of this is a bit obvious to state, we all know it, but I'm gonna say it anyway.
Though it absolutely ruined me and I haven't gotten rid of my stomach ache since watching it, the finale of season 2 was absolutely beautiful.
There is no music, none at all, I feel like the presence of silence behind a characters words in an emotional scene adds a sense of emptiness and loneliness to the emotions the characters are portraying. The sound of the grandfather clock ticking, the lack of sound you hear as Crowley is trying to collect himself, it feels more genuine and intimate.
And David's performance during Crowley's confession is heartbreaking, "And I would like to spend..." was literally the most I've ever related to a character in an emotional scene, that feeling when you're trying to let your words flow but the tears are trying to come in, gulping down the painful feeling in your throat as you try to say what you need to say. I felt it so hard, I knew exactly what he was feeling in that moment, maybe not completely on the emotional side, but physically, I knew exactly what that pain felt like. The sense of defeat on his face, the hurt in his heart, I could feel it.
Not even to mention Aziraphale's side of things, I mean, I wrote a whole long analysis on him and his feelings, I sobbed when I heard him talk and defend heaven, and yet again, I felt it.
Absolutely stunningly done, from Michael's famous micro expressions to the lack of music, to David's tears just barely forming in his eyes. It breaks my heart but I love it with my very being.
