Should I make my conservative Christian mother watch Good Omens?

Absolutely! She might learn a thing or two.

Better not. Might get disowned.

Tartan is stylish!

Not nearly everyone so far voting for me to risk disownment. 😭 I guess now would be a good time to mention that she watched a bit of The Omen (1976) w/ me, and that… did not go down well. 💀

Welp, the people (all 25 of you, LOL) have spoken, so it appears that I’ll be risking getting my ass disowned at some point in the future. 🥴 I have to admit, I am a bit nervous! Not just at the prospect of my mom not liking the show, but also because this will be my first time rewatching S1 since S2 came out… and also my first time rewatching any of the show since all of the Ga*man shit hit the fan last year. 😬😬😬 My love for the show itself hasn’t diminished in any way since then, but I guess I’m worried that an actual rewatch might change that? IDK. Anyways, I don’t even have an idea of when my mom and I will be able to watch it together, but I plan to share my experience if/when it happens. Send thoughts and prayers!!! /j

[neil-gaiman]

Hello, Neil! I have a sort of follow-up ask to a question you answered not too long ago about the GO Script Book:

Why did you decide to include the improvised magic-trick scene in the script book when it wasn’t in the original script? And were there any other notable/interesting changes made between the shooting scripts and what we see in the script book? 👀

P.S. Congrats on the Sandman renewal!

Hi, there's a five page introduction from me to the script book that explains all sorts of things like that.

[smokeymonster]

For the curious, this is (I believe) the relevant bit from the intro:

[neil-gaiman]

Hello Mr. Gaiman

Why do you like the phrase “wait and see” so much?

It's so much nicer than writing "Oh for fuck's sake. I've just spent the last three years of my life making this thing and doing everything I can to keep it all as secret as I can, and obviously you will learn all about it when the time is right, but for now I'm not actually answering any of your questions about the plot or the characters so you will just have to wait around until it's finished and we can put it on your screens. Yes I know, you're eager to get answers but think about it, would you prefer a hundred word summary of what's going to happen in Season 2 or 5 hours of television?" every time.

[neil-gaiman]

Can we look forward to Aziraphale and Crowley having even more screentime in the second season of GO than they did in the first? ♥️ I miss them so much.

Wait and see.

Finished the Good Omens full-cast audiobook on Audible! Thank someone @neil-gaiman wanted to hear Michael Sheen and David Tennant do the lines from the novel as much as the fans did, because the audiobook is a masterpiece! 🤩

[smokeymonster]

Me: *is having a perfectly fine day*

My brain: Whatever you do...

Me: bitch don’t

My brain: ... don’t think about...

Me: bitch i said fucking DON’t

My brain: ... CROWLEY LOOKING VULNERABLE.

Me: BiTCH WHAT THE fUCK

My brain:

Me:

[inconveniently-discorporated]

Ahh yes but then you could think about this

And also Crowley TRYING to be a charming demon on PURPOSE

[smokeymonster]

Well, that’s one thing crossed off the bucket list. Biggest thank you to @eltonjohn for an absolutely unforgettable Thursday night in Toronto. ♥️

[neil-gaiman]

Gonna really push my luck here. 🙈 Have you already pitched/told Amazon what happens in Good Omens season three? 😳

In general terms.

[smokeymonster]

Alright. Here we go again, I guess. 🤡

[neil-gaiman]

Hello, Neil! Not sure if you’ll be allowed to answer this, but: When did you first pitch Good Omens S2 to Amazon? Were they onboard w/ your ideas right away? Happy Sandman Launch, BTW! 🥳

When we pitched the whole of Good Omens to Amazon in 2016ish. I told them what was going to happen in Good Omens Season 2 in August of 2019.
