Isn't one of the major thematic points of the book and season 1 and 2 that Crowley and Aziracrow actually do have free will? That they have the power to make choices and be affected or affect others by the consequences of those choices? They believe they can't choose to be good or evil, that they're stuck in their natures, but then they go and do each other's miracles, and interfere with human affairs, sometimes messing up (graveyard) sometimes making better (Job) sometimes having no effect at all (first apocalypse). Aziraphale chose to go to heaven to save everything. Crowley chose to stay. Just because they're oppressed by the system doesn't mean they lack free will. Their creativity, imagination, and refusal to only do what is allowed were their greatest assets.
Wasn't one of the major thematic points the fact that no one is completely good or bad, we simply make choices, therefore the dichotomy between heaven and hell and angels and demons is an illusion? Both demons and angels suffer and are lonely under the system. Wouldn't it have made more sense to create a world where angels and demons can have the opportunity to learn and grow with humanity the way Aziraphale and Crowley did?
The finale doesn't actually address these points because they remove the problems by just starting everything over, which is in direct contradiction to everything they fought for in season 1 and with the Job minisode.
I agree that the ending should have always involved dismantling the system and creating an entirely new one. But it should have been a new system in the world they knew with the humans they'd come to love, and allowed everyone a chance at redemption. Or at least the autonomy to choose for themselves.
Crowley making one choice for the whole universe and undoing all of their work isn't thematically consistent and doesn't actually address anything that's been introduced this far. Why go through the trouble of establishing all this world building just to erase it?
How is the new human world better? What is the consequence of no heaven and hell other than Crowley and Aziraphale can be openly together (in the time period they occupy. I'm pretty certain homophobia would still exist)? Is the human experience fundamentally altered? Wasn't the whole point that humans actually do what they want regardless of heaven and hell's agenda because they're unpredictable and have imagination?
Isn't one of the themes from season 1 that the four horsemen, war famine pollution death, are actually man made concepts (well except for death)? And that one of the reasons Adam left the world as it was was because he felt humans needed to take responsibility for the earth and have the opportunity to fix their own mistakes? Isn't that why he didn't rebuild the whale population? Doesn't killing off all the humans and not letting them have a choice in making the new world really undermine that?
Isn't one of the themes that humanity is worth saving, and one of the major points demonstrating that theme being there are two nonhuman beings who still love humans despite witnessing them commit the same mistakes over and over? Isn't that nuance kind of lost when they become human themselves? Then their love for humanity is more self preservation and without the benefit of a long term view. DO they even love humanity as much when they're humans? I didn't exactly see a lot of general human love, mostly interpersonal romantic connection between them two.
Am I crazy? Am I going crazy? Did anyone in that writer's room watch more than 5 minutes of the same series I did?
Exactly this. It goes against everything established in the book and s1.
My problem with the finale is not so much that for Az and Crowley it is pretty much a tragedy. I mean, this is a subjective thing, some of us like it, some don't, that's how it goes, ya know.
And I don't even think that the plot is bad, per se. Quite the opposite, actually. If taken alone, the plot of S3 is quite good, and it brings up moral questions that I think stimulate a lot of philosophical discussion around them.
My problem is that it can't coexist with the already established rules and facts of how the Good Omen's universe works. The whole point of s1 is people having free will, you can't end season 3 saying "we gotta do this because right now nobody has free will", what the hell does that mean?
do you think we're together in another universe?
I don't care, I just want you in this one.

#how it started vs. how it's going 🥺💖
A fun fact about "Bertie Changes His Mind" is that Bertie's preferred method of daughter acquisition (viz., adoption) is one he shared with Wodehouse, at least partially. Wodehouse clearly didn't mind the "marriage" part of the process, but he never had biological children and seemingly had no interest in doing so (everything we know about him points to him being very asexual):
Another fun fact is that he enlisted the help of his daughter Leonora on this particular story for the scenes in the girls' school:
The "intimidating headmistress" archetype was also pulled from Wodehouse's real life, and this will not be the last time we see her in the Jeeves stories:
(first and last excerpts are from P.G. Wodehouse: man and myth by Barry Phelps. The letter to Leonora is from Yours, Plum, edited by Frances Donaldson.)
tags from @dathen: #okay that explains SO much about how ace bertie is
Oh, there's a lot more where that came from, please do allow me!
Wodehouse contracted a bad case of mumps at nineteen which is widely supposed, including in this book, to have resulted in sterility and possibly caused or contributed to his asexuality. Regardless of whether it was "caused" by anything, sex was clearly not a topic he was interested in or comfortable with: "Wodehouse admitted that he couldn’t handle ‘sex scenes’ properly and speculated that his large sales in Sweden, where all sorts of pornography are on rampant sale, were because his books were not dirty. The nearest Wodehouse ever got to joking about sex was ‘I’m all for incest and tortured souls in moderation, but a good laugh from time to time never hurt anybody’." (Phelps, pp. 111)
By all accounts, his relationship with his wife Ethel was very solid and affectionate, but almost certainly completely sexless, and from some of the descriptions in this book sounds almost like it might've been closer to queerplatonic than romantic:
Ethel had "men friends" who would essentially take her out on dates when Plum didn't feel like going out, and he didn't seem at all bothered by this: "Whatever the role of Bobby and Ethel’s many other men friends such as Gerard Fairlie, they never caused Wodehouse concern and had no effect on the strength of his relationship with Ethel. Wodehouse was generous to Denby, allowing him to live with his family for some years and to act as an ad hoc agent, but only within limits."
So there you go! I like reading about Plum's relationship with Ethel, because the more you read the more you can see the clear influences on the way he wrote Bertie's relationship with Jeeves. This passage, for example, reminds me of the much-discussed scene at the end of Bingo and the Little Woman where Bertie can't stay mad at Jeeves when he walks into the flat and finds everything exactly the way he likes it:
Ethel was a strong-willed person who liked to give advice and took on the role of shielding her writer husband from the outside world so he could focus on doing what made him happy. "A woman of striking looks and strong personality; a reassuring combination of aunt, nanny and wife; a sense of security. It must have been obvious to him, even on so short an acquaintance, that a man married to Ethel would not have to deal with the boring and time-consuming matters of everyday life that keep a man away from his typewriter. If the outside world came knocking on the door wanting to get at Plum when he was writing, Ethel would clearly send it away with a flea in its collective ear." She was a stylish dresser and had sporting blood in her veins. She helped Plum come up with plots for his stories.
On her side of the relationship, "What Ethel saw in Plum was the kindness and strength of the man. A perceptive woman, she probably saw his acute intelligence too, which many of his friends underestimated. After two short-lived marriages she finally met the right man. Then for richer or poorer, for better or for worse and as long as they both did live she had a doting and devoted husband giving her, until their last years, the happiness she had never known before."
Does this. Sound familiar. To anyone
»Man steht vor einem Rätsel, Jeeves.«
»Geradezu vor einem Mysterium, Sir.«
This is cute! The original dialogue was “Deep waters, Jeeves.” “Extremely deep, sir.” Which, you know, is also cute, but I love that Schlachter has Jeeves suggesting an alternative word for Bertie to use. Because that is a thing Jeeves regularly does! I just think it’s nice to see a translator who actually understands the material they’re translating
i can't decide which scene is my favourite...actually i lied it's the blitz scene
i drew these for a sticker set, but i also made the first two into charms. ill re-stock both next month!
