Not enough people talk about this. Marc Burrows is an author of the biography The Magic of Terry Pratchett.
There was supposed to be a lot of the late Terry Pratchett in Good Omens 3, the finale to Amazon’s successful apocalyptic series based on th
"I very strongly believe he wouldn't have destroyed the whole universe and all the characters therein to make his point"
☝️
Is anyone else hugely confused by David's comments? "Crowley didn't get what he wanted" but "it's the perfect ending for Crowley"? Like... the perfect ending for Crowley is... not getting what he wanted? What??
OK, so I saw the episode of Bad Omens. Anyone know when the finale of Good Omens will air?
Okay so with there being no actual evidence this specific ending was planned by Terry Pratchett (known freak and liar Neil Gaiman just saying shit doesn’t count)—with a Pratchett biographer saying TP and NG never actually sat down and wrote anything for a sequel plot, pointing out that the TP estate has no writing credits for the finale, suggesting executive producer Rob Wilkins disliked the finale, and saying he believed the cottage ending was planned by Pratchett but NOT for them to be different people, plus the finale literally erasing the entire book and rendering it pointless, everyone dying contradicting attitudes from Pratchett himself about reversing deaths in gomens, and David Tennant outright saying the ending wasn’t everything he wanted, I think we can all disregard that finale as bad fan fiction and stick to the canonical ending of the book/s1 instead lol. I’ve been saying this for a couple weeks now, but it helps that it seems like everyone involved but Gaiman hated this
Yes. Season 1 / the book ending is the only real canon ending. Everything after that is a suggestion, like canon divergence.
Q: In the end did Crowley get everything he wanted?
DT: No, he evaporated.
Sounds like David knows what Crowley really wanted. Which sure as hell isn't evaporation. 🙄
With all the clarity of hindsight, you know what I would have loved Good Omens Season 2 and 3 to be? A pure, What We Do in the Shadows-style hang-out spin-off.
No world-ending stakes, no Plot with a Capital P. Just our Ineffable Duo hanging out on Whickber Street, getting up to no good for 30 minutes an episode, 8 episodes a season.
Imagine the episode lineup we could have had:
Episode 1: Aziraphale and Crowley try to matchmake Maggie and Nina. Aziraphale thinks he’s being helpful, Crowley thinks it's a lark, and the women are entirely unimpressed, but they find out their neighbours are supernatural, setting them up as regular side characters.
Episode 2: Shax turns up and evicts Crowley. He secretly lives in his Bentley until Aziraphale finds out at the end of the episode and forcefully moves him into the bookshop.
The rest of the season could be made up of historical flashbacks (Job, the Resurrectionists, wherever you want to go in history...) treated as standalone escapades. Maybe an episode that peels away and show us the offices in Heaven and Hell instead for a bit, or a meeting between Muriel and Eric who are both supposed to be spying on A&C.
Episodes 7-8: Season ends with a cosy, low-stakes two-parter about a memory-wiped Gabriel turning up as "Jim."
Then it all resets and we join them back in the bookshop again next season, where maybe Crowley loses his Bentley gambling with a gangster and Aziraphale has to reclaim it for him, maybe there's another Whickber Street Traders event...just all the nonsense like that, minus the anguish. And a lot more of it.
Just an angel and a demon being domestic and chaotic. I guess budget would have precluded anything ever like this, but it's a shame that this was always sold to us like it had to follow dramatic lines, whereas the more I look back on it, the less I think it needed it. Who do I talk to about getting this timeline instead?
Yes! So much wasted potential.
Asa and Anthony are supposed to be a celebration of the ordinary imperfect human lives we all have, but because they can only come in right at the end to give the Ineffable Husbands some semblance of a ‘Happy Ending’, the only flaws in their lives we get to see are minor superficial stuff like books selling below expectations and second editions and mediocre haircuts. Which actually makes them and their happy seemingly perfect frictionless relationship come off as a lot more idealized and inhuman compared to how messy and imperfect and human Crowley and Aziraphale were.
THIS. I can't believe that even that one writer couldn't grasp that, actually, Aziraphale and Crowley were ALREADY very human, and so much more relatable than the human au
Of Snowglobes & Dual-Realities (Did we get TWO canon endings* to choose from?)
*The "Elsewhere" that could heal a divided fandom
Once again, the Good Omens fandom was given a divisive season ending, this one final. But this time, I think we've been shown an actual canon option out of this chaos, slipped in quietly for us. NOT by the authors in the script. It's in the snow globe and the end credit scenes.
I've been wondering about the final moments of this garden scene. It doesn't actually look very "real life" to me... (Yep. I'm back to analyzing again!)
Asa and Anthony were meant to be in "the real world" -- this actual world. But when the camara pulls back from their stargazing, we see an absurd and crowded display of (symbolic?) objects, including a snowglobe (right foreground). It's not a realistic garden scene. I love what the collection seems to represent, but it looks like a shadow box, or a book nook scene, or a room in a dollhouse, crafted with miniatures.
The objects are a little out of proportion with each other, just enough to look strange. (I brightened both light and color for visibility.) They make Asa and Anthony's matching chairs look unnaturally tiny. The effect is surreal. Why make it surreal, when it was emphasized that THIS is the "real world"? Because someone is telling us - maybe it's NOT.
The snow globe represents an "Elsewhere", originating from the 1988 finale for the television show St. Elsewhere. All 6 seasons turned out to be a child's imagination, looking at a snow globe. (Sir Terry Pratchett used the term as a location in Discworld, but I leave that analysis to the experts!) I've seen speculations about the GO snow globe, some good, some worried, some creating a fix-it alternative ending with Aziraphale and Crowley inside the snow globe bookshop completing their own Book of Life.
But I have another idea... And it was given in the ending itself.
What if the snow globe was placed there to indicate that THIS particular world version -- the oh-so-different SoHo and world erasure, etc., of GO3 -- might actually be the "Elsewhere"? That this entire GO3 World and new universe is in its own snow globe. Meanwhile, the universe we see in the end credits, events and places and realities from S1 & S2, is still out there alive and well and REAL.
Remember, everything erased from the Book of Life is gone forever, as if it NEVER EXISTED AT ALL. So then, why does Gabriel's statue still exist in the Edinburgh churchyard, with crosses as religious symbols when there was never a Crucified Jesus-as-Savior? Plus, that "planet" in the upper right is the S2 credits scene with elevators going up and down from Heaven to Earth! (Hell and it's spiders exist, too, on the 1st "planet"!)
We race through the universe that's beyond Asa & Anthony's garden, with more impossible moments recalling the adventures of our own Aziraphale and Crowley, until finally It ends, as it began, in a Garden.
The Garden of Eden, in fact. The one from a universe that supposedly NEVER EXISTED, yet somehow still exists, with OUR Ineffables dining and toasting To the World!
Two endings. One in Asa & Anthony's garden, one with Our Ineffables at their Ritz table in Eden. Which means we actually have a choose-your-own-ending situation here...
"our bentley" communist aziraphale counter 2
Somehow Aziraphale seems to think they are married, even though Crowley has proposed three times and he has always said no 🤷🏻♀️
so you’re telling me rob wilkins, executive producer of all three seasons of good omens, of the “aziraphale wanted crowley to kiss him again” fame, hated good omens s3. you’re telling me that filming for s3 wrapped in february 2025 and at the ineffable con in august 2025 rob wilkins said two things: “nothing can top the kiss... apart from... i can't talk about season 3 can i" and that there’s no reason for there not to be more aziraphale and crowley, they have their lives to live together going forward. you’re telling me that in august 2025 it was also revealed that post production was still ongoing, meaning that s3 hadn’t yet been finalized into its final cut. not even mentioning the layers of neil gaiman psychological torture this entire thing fucking goes… you’re telling me rob was EXCITED after filming but DISAPPOINTED after the release? do you know what i say to all of that? #rwse. do you know what that means? ROB WILKINS SECRET ENDING
He's also been posting cryptic tweets about being silenced btw...
I’M SORRY?
It's just Discworld quotes, but the one thing they all have in common is that they mention silence. These were posted in the days leading up to the finale, and he doesn't normally post things like that, so I've been wondering if it's connected haha
GIVE US THE RWSE!!!!👏👏👏👏
You know, I can't remember ever seeing another TV show where two characters in love have a kissing scene, but the whole thing is never even brought up again? Like, were they deliberately acting as if it didn't happen or?? What am I supposed to think???
They wrote their own story.
✨️some thoughts under the cut, feel free to ignore it and just enjoy the picture✨️
This is the Real Ending, and nobody/nothing can convince me otherwise.
Good Omens 3:
"This isn't one of Gaiman's gloomy ones, is it? No wonder nobody likes it!"
You know what... Even with the Good Omens finale disaster, when I happen to see certain SPN/Destiel stuff... I'm just like, I'm so much happier here.
Thinking about a Star Trek-inspired fix-it idea where Aziraphale and Crowley get stuck in a time loop -- everytime they "self-destruct" at the end of S3, they get sent back to the end of series 1, to the "first day of the rest of their lives". And they end up at the bookshop at the end of universe again, until they start to realize what's happening and change their actions so that all the bs in the finale doesn't happen, and they finally free themselves from the time loop and can live together happy and free.
