"I like you" isn't just a stepping stone to "I love you" - it is a distinct narrative beat in its own right.

As the audience, we already know that Ilya loves Shane because we heard him say it in Russian. But we also know that love is not enough - Shane loves Rose but they weren't compatible. Sometimes love isn't enough, for a variety of reasons.

This is why Shane and Ilya are terrified of coming to the cottage. Because we still don't know if they're compatible beyond the incredibly hot sex and psychic level hockey passes. The tuna melt date was nice before Shane crashed out, but that was just one afternoon.

"I like you" is the missing piece in their relationship. I know that I love you and I desire you and we play good hockey together, but do I like you?

The cottage scenes answer: yes. I like playing with you and I like cooking with you and I like talking to you and I like sharing space with you and I like sleeping next to you and I like waking up with you. I like you.

I like you and I love you and I still have no idea how we can possibly make this work but I really want to figure it out.

"when we were shooting [this scene], i wasn't convinced that i was going to use what hudson was doing [here]. i thought it might be too much. he had a big reaction, which is the interesting for hudson because he's a very internal actor, especially when he's playing shane. i didn't say anything. i just kinda watched it, and i was like 'this is interesting.' i think i can cut around this and figure out how to get what i want out of this scene."

"then when i got to the editing room and my editor put the scene together, she loved what he had done. and i looked it at again with new eyes and i was like 'oh! i actually love this too.' and i'm so glad i didn't insist on some idea that i had in my head because what he brought to the table was more interesting. it was surprising and it was full of life. it wasn't part of some insane jigsaw plan that i had in my head that needs to fit together or [else] everything falls a part. i do believe that film and tv is an ensemble process. as soon as you invite other talents in—to ask these brilliant people to work with you—what am they doing here if i'm not going to listen to them or incorporate their ideas or what makes them so talented and why i wanted to work with them in the first place?" — jacob tierney on hudson's portrayal of shane and his collaborative process

WHY IS THIS SO GOOD?!

They put drugs in this show, and this edit is the closest I've come to being able to snort it like cocaine. Excluding binging the entire show in 6 hours after first turning on episode one to see what all the fuss was about.

personally I like to imagine that crowley started spiraling about what he'd do if aziraphale asked him to move in, then started spiraling about what he'd do if aziraphale DIDN'T ask him to move in, and then he just laid face down on the front seat of the bentley for twenty-four hours straight and at the end of that he was like "yeah I could just live here actually"

We don't need heaven, we don't need hell. They're toxic. We need to get away from them -- just be an us.

fanfic writers: if you were shown nothing but the title of one of your own fics, do you think you would be able to remember which one it is

Crowley is genuinely so brave and beautiful at the end of s2. He says: I won’t lie about what we are anymore, I won’t give up who I am to be with you, I won’t turn back around because you said “I need you” (which up until this point has been the magic words from aziraphale that can make him do anything), I won’t run away and hide you’ll have to watch me while you throw away what we could have been. He’s so iconic to me

I've watched the recently released season 2 of Good Omens, and I know a third series is dependent upon the audience and the writer's strike. In the unfortunate event that Good Omens is not renewed for a season three, would you consider releasing a script book of what would have happened for the fans to read?

No, I'd write a novel.

I really don't know what "I love you" means. I think it means "Don't leave me here alone."
