aziraphale: you can't kill me! there will be paperwork!

Because the current state of the Good Omens fandom makes me really sad, I promised myself I would try to refrain from posting my negative thoughts about the finale...

But you know what? I just saw pictures of angelCrowley and 'Anthony' back to back, and maybe this is me being stupid and in denial, but I’m only realizing now that this 'Anthony' is, in fact, a "reincarnation" or whatever of angelCrowley and NOT demonCrowley, the being we spent the story with, the being he became after millennia of experience on Earth - I mean THE Crowley, our Crowley, Aziraphale’s Crowley, and I just...

It makes me even more furious than I already am. They erased nearly everything that was making this character interesting. After showing us time and again how terrible Heaven was, how free will is important, and why labels shouldn’t matter as long as you stay true to who you are deep down ("just a little bit a good person", "just enough of a bastard", "just an angel/a demon who goes along with Heaven/Hell as far as he can"), they told us that a fallen angel was a bad thing, that it shouldn’t exist after all. They ended with two 'angels' falling for each other.

I wonder, what happened to shades of grey?

I fell in love with those two because they were are far more complex than what it says on the tin. I don’t give a damn about the purest of angels. I care about characters who ask questions, who doubt, who evolve, who fight for what they believe in, who love unconditionally, despite the odds.

And to think about all the other narrative decisions made in that finale...

What a shame that ending was. What a terrible, terrible shame.

I can't tell anyone what to like or not like, but as far as the season 3 "finale" being something Sir Terry would have written or endorsed -- a position I've actually seen expressed more than once -- I offer the last paragraphs of Good Omens, The Book.

If you want to imagine the future, imagine a boy and his dog and his friends. And a summer that never ends. And if you want to imagine the future, imagine a boot... no, imagine a sneaker, laces trailing, kicking a pebble; imagine a stick, to poke at interesting things, and throw for a dog that may or may not decide to retrieve it; imagine a tuneless whistle, pounding some luckless popular song into insensibility; imagine a figure, half angel, half devil, all human... Slouching hopefully towards Tadfield. ...for ever.

I submit humbly that that ending is not the voice of a writer (the interview in the illustrated tie-in edition specifies that "the kids mostly originated with Terry") who would ultimately be down with annihilation as the Only Solution To The Problems Of The World.

Bonus reminder: I'm betting this passage is Terry's ("vanload of hippies on a blotterful of Owsley's Old Original" has that ring to it). I ask you, does it describe a character who would only a few years later in story time -- after sixty centuries of ups and downs -- (1) wallow indefinitely in a drunken sulk, and then (2) tell God to finish erasing the world, including himself and his best friend, and start over?

Because, underneath it all, Crowley was an optimist. If there was one rock-hard certainty that had sustained him through the bad times -- he thought briefly of the fourteenth century -- then it was utter surety that he would come out on top; that the universe would look after him. Okay, so Hell was down on him. So the world was ending. So the Cold War was over and the Great War was starting for real. So the odds against him were higher than a vanload of hippies on a blotterful of Owsley's Old Original. There was still a chance.

That is all.

they were just some guys. the whole point was that they were just some guys. they met in Eden. Aziraphale didn't like Crowley because he met him as an angel and saw the good in him. he met him as a demon on a random day that was the most important day in the beginning of the world because they both made it that way. they met and they quite simply hit it off. they kept meeting again and again because they sought each other out, not because some red string of fate twirled by god forced them together. two like-minded emissaries on earth. they liked each other from the start and neither felt bad about it at all. they both recognized that angels and demons were the same. they were equals. they challenged each other and grew together but also they were lazy bastards who didn't care about humans all that much. they cared about their earthly pleasures, like driving irresponsibly fast and hoarding treasures. they wanted to save the earth mostly for egoistical reasons, though humanity as a whole and as a concept had also grown dear to them. they were never more important than anyone else. they were not god's best or specialest little angels or grim-dark generals or leaders of armies or people called upon to make decisions on behalf of anyone. they weren't even good at what they were supposed to do, often consciously so. one was not better or smarter or more right than the other. they were some guys and they didn't give a fuck and they gave all the fucks and cared so much and they were truly, absolutely bastards worth knowing. their friendship and love story was so grand because it was not grand. they were supposed to be just some guys.

Today's vent:

"we didn't get a new wing scene" but we did. their chairs are their wings. they're a set, hence only one pair of wings instead of two. and the chairs forming a heart is just the icing on the cake. they're each other's heart and all the other will ever need.

There's been a lot of talk about why there should or shouldn't have been a kiss in the finale, not just now but all through, both by us afterwards and by Rachel and DT and MS during filming and all. Talk about whether it would've been bigger than or lessened by the S2 kiss, and so on. Won't rehash it all here.

Honestly, it's not that there wasn't another kiss that bothers me, though I definitely would've liked one. It's that we didn't get a hug. That's what I wanted even more than a kiss. I'm fine with leaving the kissing (and any questions of sex beyond that) to fanfic. But it hurts that we didn't get an embrace. They've never had one. They've held hands a few times, touched each other's backs, small things. But during the s2 kiss, Crowley grabbed Aziraphale by the lapels and drew him in, Aziraphale's was clearly struggling with wanting to pull him in and feeling he ought to push him away.

There never was a hug. That's what I wanted most. The two of them just holding each other for a quiet moment, standing together, embracing. Nothing but the hold and the you're here, it's you, with me.

I wish they'd gotten to have that. I wish we'd gotten to have that. I think I'd be a lot more okay with all the rest if we'd at least had that much.

[fellshish]

can we talk about the CONTRAST between these two pls s2 heaven crowley is playful he’s in on the joke he’s on top of things s3 crowley is grey haired sadder dressed in business aziraphale cream

A post I saw, but couldn’t repost. But I am so thankful I have found it…🩷

Please read it…for me, it is the biggest Easter egg there ever was in GO…they are sitting in the Garden of Eden, surrounded by the new universes, with Champagne in their glasses (to the world - to our world/worlds), with the apple still intact and without wings…they did it. They gave them their ending as an „us“…hidden, but there. And I love it…🥹
