GO3 is making me feel shrimp emotions…

I will say everything done in the finale is absolutely in character. Crowley has and always will be someone who loves humanity and wants to be free. That’s what he has wanted from the beginning, till the end. I’m glad they gave him the chance to make the final decision. A choice is what he was barred from having all his life, and then he gets to make the most important one of all.

I think it’s especially tragic that Aziraphale loves Crowley so much he would have done anything for them to stay together. Except go against what Crowley truly wants. It shows growth. Last season he left, for Crowley, so that he could save the world they love for them, but he did it against Crowley’s wishes. Though it’s the toughest, I think letting them disappear so that the world Crowley - and Aziraphale - loves could live the life they always wanted, was one of the greatest acts of love Aziraphale has done for Crowley

Maybe the plot was rushed, maybe the ending would have been happier if they had survived as the angel Aziraphale and the former demon Crowley, with all their memories, but one thing I will never say is that the finale did not understand their characters. I didn’t predict this ending to be honest, but in retrospect, it makes complete sense. They will find each other time after time, and their love is so strong it even transcended the destruction of an entire universe. A version of them, the version I think they would have wanted to be (not human per se, but free to chose), used that free will the original versions of themselves had sacrificed so much for to fall in love, and stay together till the end of their time. Crowley still loves the stars, waits for Aziraphale, and watches him eat, Aziraphale still has his same hand movements, still teases Crowley, brings him cocoa and still calls it scrumptious. Maybe they’re not the originals, but there are still nightingales.

I can understand why people may not like the finale, but I choose to love it, because their love was the messiest, silliest, most predictable thing in the universe, and it always made me smile.
