This is in regards to season 3 of Good Omens. I really wanted to like it. Nothing against any of the crew and cast, they were amazing and I appreciate their hard work. They went above and beyond. I mean the writing. It feels like s1 and 2 were not regarded whatsoever other than certain situations for the plot. When I think of Good Omens it's... Aziraphale and Crowley, despite being opposites, despite being expected to be enemies, they chose friendship, they chose love. They defied their bosses, literal God and Satan, to save the world. Their world. The world they both lived in for centuries upon centuries, learned it, fell in love with it and the creations of the humans, as well as the humans themselves. Despite the bad things the humans have done in their own history, Aziraphale and Crowley chose to believe they deserved to be saved, even Crowley even though he was always trying to run to Alpha Centauri (Though that was out of understandable fear given how he became a demon). Those two shook heaven and hell like they've never been shook before and defied everything heaven and hell believed they could be. Even Aziraphale refused to be who they wanted him to be even though he still has hope in heaven and that things could be set right. All he wanted to do, both of them, was stop the corruption in heaven and hell, especially heaven, and prove that they can work together.
Now... It just feels like, "conformity is key". Want happiness, you need to forget everything you were, everything you two went through, and all the memories you two shared. Oh but don't worry, you get to meet each other in another universe. Maybe I would have like it better if their human versions still met when they were young, made memories and then met back up as adults later. I love that they're happy and finally getting together truly and romantically, don't get me wrong but the writing could have and should have gone so much different.
I think I'm going to reupload my fanfiction called, "You're Back" on AO3. It was supposed to be my own season 3 before the season was even close to finished. Actually I believe I wrote it like a week or two after s2 ended. It was actually very similar to the idea of the actual s3, Aziraphale had to come back to Earth to ask Crowley for help to stop the second coming. But I tried to incorporate our South Downs hopes into it too because after all this time, I do believe Crowley and Aziraphale are powerful enough to become their own beings together and I do believe they would be able to live together happily while still being angel and demon. They should not have to change who they are and forget who they are to be happy. So I'll start writing, and I'll post updates when I'm finished because I don't know... I was just disappointed with the season.
