When I spun the wheel, it landed on appendicitis. Not really my thing, but far be it from me to yuck anyone's appendicitis kink, I guess
Zombie killing denied
As long as we're still dwelling on things GO3 failed, one of them is the rule of Chekhov's gun. Aziraphale casually mentions in the 1941 story arc that he keeps a Derringer pistol in his bookshop. This is NOT the same gun that he used in his magic act, but something completely different.
If we're following Chekov's rule, when a gun appears in one act, it needs to go off in a later act. And while we don't actually see this one, it's referred to. That shouldn't be random; instead, it should be foreshadowing of something to happen later.
With a 1941 story continuing from Season 1 to Season 2, it only makes sense that there would have been a continuation in Season 3. We know that the zombies were left free to roam London after the events in 1941 in Season 2. It would have made sense to have a third flashback in Season 3 with the zombies storming the bookshop and Aziraphale gunning them down with his Derringer, thereby giving him an opportunity to save Crowley and fulfilling Chekov's gun rule simultaneously. It would have been easy to write, brilliant, and satisfying for the audience.
Instead, we got competitive crossword puzzling -- which, while funny in its own right, was with a random gangster we didn't have time to care about. And we never got a resolution for the Derringer pistol. Did it stay in the shop this whole time? Was this something we would have seen resolved if S3 hadn't been condensed from 6 hours to 1.5? We'll never know.

you get a comment on tumblr. it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a DM. it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a message on instagram. its a bot trying to scam you. you're an author and you get an email telling you how much they loved your book and want to showcase it at their bookclub. it's a bot trying to scam you (and it uses bad AI to pretend it knows your story). you get a comment on ao3 saying how much they love your fic - and they made you fanart!! it's a bot trying to scam you. you get a hate comment on ao3 which insults your writing or calls you a monster for writing something "problematic". it's a bot. but at least that one isn't trying to scam you.
And here I am wondering how you trigger the AI bots to notice your fics and leave comments.
[sits up in bed] why did they randomly kill off mutt
I swear when I reached that scene it was maybe the 17th time during the finale that I said, "I guess [insert actor's name] wasn't available."
They still didn't have to kill him. There were so many unexplained absences, he could have gone unnoticed like Mr. Brown or the lady stroking her fan or Shax or Furfur or or or...
I’m tired of queer folks sacrificing themselves for the greater good while they get none of their own.
I’m tired of queer characters being reduced to sacrificial lambs.
I’m tired of queer couples never getting a happy selfish ending, and you know what? Aziraphale and Crowley are selfish beings. And not selfish in the bad sense but in the human sense. They have never been selfless and that’s a good thing— they wanted each other when they technically shouldn’t have, they wanted to indulge in earthly delights like food and gambling and cars and music.
I’m sorry, but you just cannot convince me that Crowley out of the two of them would do such a 180 and abruptly choose another universe over his angel, or over a life with his angel that wasn’t doused in fear. I just don’t buy it. It’s not the fact that they became human, which I actually wouldn’t have minded— it’s that they were annihilated. Asa and Anthony are not Aziraphale and Crowley. There is no explicit evidence to prove otherwise and people are who they are because of their experiences and pasts. If there had been then this would be an entirely different matter, but there was nothing. Aziraphale and Crowley and all the people and things they fought for over thousands of years are gone. That’s it. Poof.
This wasn’t a comedy and it wasn’t a romance; it was a tragedy. It was a gloomy sort of tragedy, the exact thing Crowley always hated from Shakespeare. All of their love was scrubbed away in the name of a humanity they never knew, and the one who had always wanted to choose Aziraphale, chose death instead.
Everyone already had Free Will, including the two of them, which was one of the majors points of the first two seasons. But now they have nothing. They’re nothing.
And I’m just so fucking angry. Everyone deserved better and queer folks deserve a queer story with an unambiguously happy ending without the pressure of accepting destruction as something to be celebrated. We deal with enough destruction on a day to day basis.
I’m tired of queer tragedies.
okay i know this got buried in the conversation about The Ending BUT
why is no one talking about how aziraphale was really good at impersonating a demon!!!
and because s3 is so short it's so easily glossed over in the show but like. guys let's run this back
i need someone to do character analysis on that scene STAT
Something something cosplaying in hell removes all of Aziraphale’s inhibitions something something
Aziraphale is always eager for an excuse to go all-in with acting.
Maybe it was just his turn as a journalist that was the outlier? Or maybe Muriel gave him 24-hour bad-acting flu.
Aziraphale snaps.
Jesus was the best part of s3 I think
I just wanna say, I'm so grateful for this fandom. The ending wrecked me and it's comforting to know I'm not alone in this feeling. Nobody irl understands it. And it's so comforting to know there's an entire community of people who are distraught about fictional characters. Because they meant the world. They still do.
Same. Even if it feels like I'm just shouting into the void on Tumblr, there are at least like-minded fans going through similar feelings. I tried airing some of my feelings on another platform full of people I actually know, and the void there was even void-ier.
Thanks to everyone and anyone reading this who is helping me feel less alone, even if you have no idea. You're still contributing and making this fandom better.
Still sorting out my feelings, have a gif.
extended version:
Seems legit to me
A missing scene. Thanks for all the fanart and fic throughout the years, you guys
My Tumblr feed is fascinating on the day after GO S3's release because there's definitely a before and after in the posts.
there are two wolves inside you: one is extremely upset about the good omens finale and the other actually kinda liked it and thinks it made enough sense. both of them are gay and depressed.
nothing legolasts forever
DID YOU SEE JESUS AND ADAM (ANTICHRIST) GETTING DRINKS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unholy crap, I didn't even recognize him
can we talk about the CONTRAST between these two pls s2 heaven crowley is playful he’s in on the joke he’s on top of things s3 crowley is grey haired sadder dressed in business aziraphale cream
Did Crowley even get his miracles back, or did he just have to go along with whatever Aziraphale put him in at this point?
