Could you draw Blinky and Aaarrrggh please?

Didn’t mention which era but I’m obsessed with the idea of blinky teaching arrgh how to properly speak (spoiler, it did not work as he hoped it would but hey, at least he tried)

Everything you're saying about the finale is correct. Honestly, once I saw how S2 was going, I pretty much checked out of Amazon GO canon because I saw the writing on the wall. Maybe not this specific writing, but it was clear that NG was running the ship now. And I say this as someone who was a pretty enthusiastic NG reader back in the day - Gaiman sucks at endings, especially if he's writing anything longer than a novella. Always has. No matter what the rest of the story was like, there's an extremely high probability that the end turns into NG patting himself on the back for being so very clever and cynical in a way that used to make me think the man must be a pretentious drag and a half at parties. Personally, I'm glad we got one good season of GO and I'll happily ignore the rest of it as much as I can.

Yes, this is all depressingly correct.

It's funny, I was never all that much of a Gaiman fan. Good Omens was the first thing I encountered by either Gaiman or Pratchett, and it was in the 90s, when lots of people were all excited about Sandman, so I dutifully read Sandman and kind of went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At the time, I figured it was because I wasn't really into comics, just as a sort of general style. But later, when I read Gaiman's novels, I decided that he's fundamentally a horror writer, and I'm definitely not much of a horror fan. Then he got together with Amanda Palmer, and I didn't like her vibe at all, and I stopped paying attention to both of them for years.

But I read and re-read the Discworld books, all through college and all sorts of stressful times in my life. Pratchett was my favorite comfort food, and Good Omens was in that category for me too. So when I heard there was going to be a TV adaptation, I instantly decided I wasn't going to watch it, because I've never in my life ever liked a TV adaptation of anything.

And then the pictures and gifs started showing up here on Tumblr. And they looked...different than I'd imagined the book, maybe, but somehow right. So I watched the show after all. It completely blew my mind. Neil Gaiman had gotten it right. I hate that he turned out to be what he is, and I hate that I still have to admit he did a really good job on the first season of Good Omens.

In hindsight, it wasn't so much that he had done a good job. It was that David Tennant and Michael Sheen and the rest of the cast and crew had done an amazing job. David Arnold's music was a major factor in persuading me to watch more than just the first episode.

I stayed happy right up until I watched Season 2, and went what the hell was that? But I tried (so hard!) to pick through it for clues, to make sense of the puzzle. I wanted to reserve judgement until the final installment, to give it every chance to resolve the tangle of loose ends and dispel the dark clouds.

So here we are. I suppose I'm sulking. I miss the Aziraphale and Crowley of the first season, that I loved so much. I just wanted them to be happy, and communicate with each other, and have weird adventures.
