Good Omens season 3/finale thought of the day:
I’ve seen a lot of worried people talk about how they’re scared the finale is not going to give our Ineffables a happy ending. That somehow, they’ll just be parted again like in the end of season 2, or they’ll have their memory wiped, or they’ll be destroyed, or they’ll become human (which is apparently the worst of all for a lot of people).
I promise you all, I highly doubt that any of the above will happen. I look at this from the point of view as someone who has read a LOT of fanfiction. Because there is always one thing almost every single fanfiction has in common regardless of its AU or canon compliant:
1) The Ineffables fall in love/have a slow burn.
2) There is a conflict that parts them.
3) They resolve that issue.
4) They fully declare their feelings
5) The live happily ever after.
It’s romantic comedy 101.
So here’s how I believe the structure of the finale will go down:
1) Aziraphale and Crowley are not talking. Conflict for at least the first quarter to third of the film. Think of this as act 1.
2) They are forced to come together to stop the second coming. Middle part of the story, finalising act 2.
3) They talk/reconcile/forgive one another, and possibly declare their feelings (or come close to declaring their feelings). This would be just after act 2.
4) They stop the second coming. Beginning to middle of act 3.
5) Something something Heaven and Hell gets changed/defeated yadda yadda yadda (insert here climax/threat that Crowley or Aziraphale or both may be destroyed, and they rescue each other), forms the end of act 3.
6) Epilogue: South Downs.
I’m almost positive that these will be the story beats that will be hit for the finale. If tens of thousands of people can write this exact structure for some damn good fanfiction, then whoever they get to finish writing the script for real should be able to handle it.
