‼️‼️Good omens three spoilers ‼️‼️
It's been a couple of days since the finale released, and I've now watched it three times. And I apologise if this gets angsty but I really do miss them so dearly.
At first, I enjoyed the plot, I thought it was hilarious, and then quickly all of that changed because the ending wasn't what I'd hoped or anticipated. I was actually quite angry.
I started picking apart the storyline and the plot holes instead of focusing on the fact that, whilst it IS imperfect, before I knew the ending, I very much enjoyed watching it. I enjoyed the funny bits, cried harder than I'd like to admit at the sad parts.
So I watched it for a second time the morning after and went in with an open mind and watched it again like I still didn't know the ending. And I loved it. Despite its imperfections, something I noticed, and something that I think has always made Good Omens, well, good omens, is that you can see the amount of love that was POURED into the production.
They fought for it back, they made do with the time they had, and all things considered, I think they smashed it!
Now.. the issue of the ending is something I feel ever so slightly strange about. Not in a particularlybad way though? Not anymore.
Of course, the ending isn't what a lot of the fandom was hoping for. Myself included. It upset me A LOT to begin with, and my friend and I upon first watch spent an hour sobbing whilst eating little bits of cheese from our charcuterie board
I mean, humans? Why would they make them human when there was 6000 years of love just ready to burst at the seems and overflow? Especially when they could've done anything. And that remains an element that I feel so strongly divided about. But at the very same time, the decision was SO in character, so selfless, and they both left smiling, forgiven, and loved by one another (and knowing that).
But much like the plot, there's elements to criticise and elements where you think.. oh! Well that's rather lovely! Even unexpectedly.
I've grown to like the human versions of them, I think that they're incredibly loveable. I love the element of "they find each other in every universe" without any divine intervention. It's so fucking sweet and it's something I overlooked the first time. And i grieve the ACTUAL Aziraphale and Crowley. The actual angel and demon who we've grown to absolutely adore over the past seven years. But as I said, the decision was heartbreaking, and so very in character for them.
Now that it's been given a few days to settle, I'm heartbroken they're gone, I'm heartbroken that the show has ended, and I'm heartbroken that the ending isn't what I thought or even wanted it to be.
And the sentiment is growing on me, even though I'm absolutely crushed to my core about losing them.
So to anybody who feels so lost or taken aback by this ending, I urge you to rewatch it. Find that joy in it again. Crowley would want you to be an optimist about this (because he's a terrible demon).
If you really really deep it, it's beautiful, even if it isn't ideal for a lot of people.
It's a truly gorgeous show, and everybody's hearts were in the right place. And that's part of the reason it IS so beautiful. And always has been.
Very bittersweet, but ultimately lovely.
