Hi, I'm the nonny pretending Good Omens was written by Terry Pratchett. In light of the shitty finale I'd like to take my comment back, NG wrote that shit. And the writers of the finale just spit on Terry's grave, Terry would never let the finale become a dumpster fire happen if he would still be alive today
(referencing Nonny 2's response on this post here)
So, for context at THIS point Nonny, 2 days later, I didn't HATE the finale, but I've a lot of mixed feelings on it and think we could've got something better.
Like, my fave thing about it is the implication that their souls will always find each other in any universe (with their souls essentially being the Big Bang, and them becoming literal Star Crossed lovers for all eternity everywhere everywhere), and as I'm sitting longer and longer on the episode, I do agree with the consensus that the ending was beautiful in its own way.
It hit me like a tonne of bricks yesterday why I'm so upset. I'm realizing a lot of my disappointment with the episode is with primarily Aziracrow itself being built up for 12 episodes only for them to never be together as an angel and demon, and then only to have God ship it but destroy them anyway. That and all the plot holes. And I hated the Book of Life plotline, like... it was really rushed and not fleshed out. I am giving it a LOT of leeway because of the condensed timeframe; It's clear there's a LOT of context missing, but the biggest one for me is the introduction of them being able to rewrite the book of life and they just... could've done anything else than what they did. And because of the short timeframe, they had to remove Crowley's powers so they wouldn't have to ever address the Miracle they performed together in S2, which, like... Fffff.
Anyway, I still rather Pratchett's estate get the earnings of this regardless. Even some good comes from sad things.
