THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY WE DON'T SEND NEIL WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN S3!!!
From the Lucy Eaton's podcast Hear Me Out interview with Neil Gaiman :)❤
Neil Gaiman (talking about Oscar Wilde's Salome): "She's got the thing she wants, not in the way that she wants.
Lucy Eaton: Yes - which is ultimately a kiss.
Neil Gaiman: Which is ultimately a kiss and I... you know, it was a lesson that I learned many many years later when I was writing Good Omen Season 2 and fans would write these letters in going: 'I hope they're going to kiss.' And I'd see you know every fourth or fifth letter was, you know, 'Just tell us that... just make us happy. Because, Crowley and Aziraphale are they going to kiss in this season?' and there was a point where I started to go, 'You know, I can give you what you want, but you won't want it.'
Neil Gaiman and Roz Kaveney at the British Library event Why We Need Fantasy 20.11.2023 :) ❤
Neil: I don't remember if it was you or John M. Ford, the late Mike Ford, who pointed out to me first that there is a thing that I do that I was not aware of doing. And it was.. and I remember this being pointed out to me at the time of the publication of American Gods. Or possibly even before it was published, when I sent it out a manuscript. Because it was pointed out to me that one way that you can tell that you're entering the third act of a Neil Gaiman story is there is always a kiss that sort of ends the second act. And it's never a sort of romantic kiss. It's always a kiss that is unexpected and a little bit wrong, but it symbolizes where we're going to go next.
Roz: Yeah, that was Mike, it's too smart for me.
Neil: That was Mike. And I remember arguing with him and then him pointing out that all the places I'd done it. And then I did it again in the Anansi Boys and didn't realize that I'd done it. And then I forget about this thing. And I saw somebody on Tumblr had found an interview with me from 2002 where I'm talking about this and the kiss, and they're like, 'Still doing it then'.
:)) Yep, Neil is still doing it :D <3 (this is the tumblr post)

Interview with David Tennant, 15 Feb 2024 :)
Q: What was it like kissing Michael Sheen [in season two of Good Omens]? And who enjoyed it more?
David: Who enjoyed it the most? Presumably Michael was thrilled. How could he not be? But it was another day at work. The most difficult bit was other people’s awkwardness. We thought it was quite fun, so it was fine. He’d brushed his teeth.
David and Michael talk about the S2 Finale 🥺
David and Michael interview with Kim Roots from TVLine, about the S2 finale. July 2023 [S2 Promo: C: I could always rely on you. You could always rely on me. We're a team, a grou p. And we spend our existence pretending that we aren't.]
KR: What happens in the finale between Crowley and Aziraphale is something that some fans have been yearning for a very long time. Was there a pressure? Did you have any conversations about what this might mean to the fandom? Talk to me a little bit about like when you found out this was going to happen and kind of your initial reactions.
Michael: Well, you know, the relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley, obviously, is something that the audience seemed to really warm to, and obviously was part of why the idea of doing Season 2, you know, seemed like it could be something that could work. Following how that relationship develops has been something that the audiences have really got into. So we've taken that very seriously, and Neil takes it incredibly seriously. So tracking that relationship and that journey between them, because obviously on the surface, they seem like they're complete opposites, and yet clearly, they're kind of compelled towards each other in all kinds of ways. And now that they've been being cut off from their respective head offices, they only have each other, so that pulls them together a lot more, doesn't it? And the stakes are always high around them, and they sort of end up going on a journey together, but it takes them to different places and where we leave things at the end..
David: Well, that's the thing. Nothing is resolved. So whatever happens and whatever you may have seen at the end of Episode 6, it's also important to note that that doesn't finish the story. In fact, that just sor of ruptures things.
Michael: It's the start of another story.
[S2 Promo: A: I forgive. C: Don't bother.]
David:I think you have to be careful if there is something delicate that has generated a lot of excitement about where will that end up. As soon as you end up there, as soon as you finish that story, it's all over, isn't it?
Michael: You don't really want to find out who killed Laura Palmer. [Twin Peaks series plot]
David: Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
KR Like you said, David, there is no resolution, which made me very happy because this feels primed for a third go-around at some point. Have you had any conversations about that with Neil about possibly keeping the story going?
David: Well, if you've seen where Series 2 ends, there's certainly the teasing of further tales to come, isn't there? Whether we will ever find out what those tales are is in the lap of... well, certainly not on our lap.
Michael: No, it's on the laps of the audience.
David: Laps of the audience, yes.
Michael: We are sitting firmly...
David: In the tops of the audience as it streaming.
Michael: Yeah, it's not in my lap. I know that. When we first started Series 1, we always knew that the story went a lot further because Neil and Terry had talked about it. They just hadn't written it down, but we knew there were ideas, and we have not yet reached the end of those ideas.
David: No.
Michael: You know, if we get a chance to tell more of this story, it does already exist.
David: Yes.
A bit quiet, not so gentle, and very heartbreaking. ❤😭
Hi! Hope you’re having an Armageddon free day! So you don’t even have to answer this at all if this sounds like a hopeless or pointless ask, but I’ve been reading all these analyses of literally EVERY SINGLE PART of s2, and there’s one thing that threw me off that I was hoping you might be able to give some input or theories on!
Something that’s been confusing me is the significance of the song “A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square” both as a component of the show and in the actual GO universe. I know they play it during the s1 credits and also as Crowley is driving in s2, but the thing that threw me off was when Crowley explicitly mentions nightingales towards the end. Now it can’t just be something only the viewers hear anymore, but it has to also mean something between Aziraphale and Crowley too.
I couldn’t figure out why this song (or maybe just nightingales?) would be so important to Crowley and Aziraphale within the story itself? Like so important to be brought up in their big breakup fight?? And what does it mean when Crowley points out there are no nightingales singing??? Does it symbolize the absence of hope? Love?? Trust?????
TLDR; Why does Crowley know about the nightingales, why would they be important to the both of them, and what does it mean when the two can’t hear them? Would love to hear your thoughts because I honestly have no clue!
Hiya! I am pretty sure they do hear it. It has been said that their presence influences the surroundings - such as when the Witchfinder General movie plays in the background when Crowley meets Shadwell in the café. So I think them being so happy and together in the Ritz made the Ritz play...
That certain night, the night we met, There was magic abroad in the air. There were angels dining at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. I may be right, I may be wrong, But I’m prefectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square…
And it was a them and love and hope and happy ending moment and Crowley is saying that this is not a them and love and hope and happy ending moment...:'(, not the right way to go.
