Angels of GO fandom: Clearly the creator had a vision or he wouldn’t have written a finale. It’s up to us to work harder, to understand the meaning and highlight what the creator meant to say.
Demons of GO fandom: Hey creator, this finale was a terrible idea, we reject it and demand another one. And a suggestion box!
I originally wrote this extended metaphor about the Good Omens finale as a comment on a post:
I think for a lot of us it utterly failed and we are left with exactly that - a cruel writing choice that people tried to pad to make it a bit less hurtful. The analogy that’s coming to mind is cushioning broken glass with cotton candy so you can eat it. Like, that’s not how that works. If someone tries to feed you broken glass you refuse and then try to make sure they don’t do that again. And also cotton candy dissolves with the slightest moisture so it’s ineffective anyway.
I can’t really blame the cast and crew for trying to make the best of it. I think a lot of them convinced themselves that because they were trying hard and had achieved magical things before and the story wasn’t that bad because sacrifice is noble and look Michael and David get to pretend to be at the South Downs together, that they’d somehow made stained glass out of this cotton candy and broken glass. But I only saw the vase that we could have gotten, if the writers hadn’t broken it in the first place, and the patchwork result that had at least some blood mixed in with the cotton candy and glass.
Thy Kingdom Come Chapter 1 - An alternative season 3 Road Trip Story
Hi everyone, I am so excited to finally share the first chapter of this story with the fandom. I began drafting this fan fic back in 2025 and felt compelled to finish it after the finale. Because it was largely inspired by early concept art and old interviews regarding the planned sequel, the plot diverges significantly from what we saw on screen. I’ve written this with the intention of filling it with love, humor, adventure, and theological shenanigans, all while handling these characters with care.
The rest of the story is currently in progress. I hope you enjoy this first chapter and join me as I update.

Summary:
Aziraphale and Crowley take Jesus on a road trip across America. An alternative season 3 fic.
It's been almost 48 hours. I have processed the finale. I'm past my grievances. I've ran out of the conventional stages of grief and I'm currently on the secret 6th one. It's time for memes
Each frame breaks me. You can see the glimpse of hope, of longing in Aziraphale eyes before Crowley chooses instead the world. Then, he simultaneously feels deep heart break before remembering this is the reason he loves him in the first place and finally, resigns.
A great parallel to season twos heart break scene.
Did anyone else notice they did it again? Cause it all went pear shaped about at the 15is minute mark, yea?
What really kills me about this scene is how different their facial expressions are. Crowley is devastated, you can see it so clearly. He wants it to be different, but knows that it can't be.
But Aziraphale just looks so damn tired. Tired of always doing the right thing, but never getting anything in return. And here he realizes that the one remaining thing that he cares about, is going to be taken from him.
On a serious note, lets talk about the plot holes, and of course, lack of plot. AKA Undercooked Hotpockets
The Flashback that told us nothing new
The outfits? Impeccable. I loved getting to see Aziraphale as a warrior as it has always been an idea that I struggle to picture. While it felt odd for his hair to be long, it makes sense why he wouldn't want it to be long again. Thats a person he had to be that he would rather not think about.
My problem with it is nothing new happened. Oh they've met before? I knew that. Oh there was a war? Well aware. Aziraphale has a soft spot for a demon, tell me something new! Without the addition of new information, felt like a waste of those 90 minutes.
Supreme Arch Angell Aziraphales plan
What happened here? We've all had years to imagine what Aziraphale would be working on to justify leaving Crowley and after three years of holding together out broken hearts it's kind of just, fell on its face. Aziraphales plan was great, but I would have liked to see more of how it came to be and how he asserted his territory. What did the Metatron think? Was there fighting? Instead its brushed over. Then we are sucked into the next blackhole plot hole
Jesus and his find the lady undercooked side quest
What a lovely character, a sweet rendition of a religious figure. Very tasteful. Love the casting! And the giving out of pizza.
What was the point though? He was under used and frankly brushed aside in favor of the lost book of life. He goes around and gives life advice for there to no longer be life. Felt so rushed. Would have loved to see more.
The Book of Life and the half mast of a mystery
This happens so quickly. And it could have only been a handful of people, had to be an angel for starters. It was never really a mystery at all, felt like a convent plot device to speed right to the end. And thats sloppy writing in my opinion (I say this knowing full and well that there was likely good writing that got put in a salad blender)
Heaven vs Hell: What happened to that??
These were borderline institutions that could have been explored deeper. Like, the hierarchy in hell and what does the Metatron do. Did he really give Aziraphale the reins and walk away? What about the back channels? How did these back channels get started?
Its just, a really big thing that didn't get explored, barely scraping the surface. Not that it was incredibly important but for a story I would have like to learn more about it. I suppose that's the small potatoes of my complaints
God & Satan: The OG that should have been erased from the book of life.
Could we not erase them instead? Satan was also the worst! Rolling over like a dog to just sit and chat with mommy. God was God and couldn't say I am all that surprised.
NO SMOOCHIES?
Honestly, I'm disappointed in this the most. I'd have liked to see them break some furniture in the bookshop in the process before they off themselves.
ANYWAY, we missed out on understanding all of these fractions of plots half hazardly pasted back together. I like to think that had we been able to understand what all was going on, we could have been happy with the ending.
Here, for you in these trying times,

For a moment I thought they were going to spend eternity together in the cosmic bookshop writing the whole universe back in existence in the blank books...
Lets play the blame game for a minute, just to set some things straight.
I don't blame actors or any of the creators.
I blame Neil Gaimen and Amazon.
WHY?
Well the first one is obvious, we wouldn't even be in this situation where we have to pick and choose if it weren't for him. We could have had 6 episodes full of flashbacks and fleshed out plots. But I am not going down that rabbit hole.
I am looking at Amazon.
WHERES MY CROWLEY AND AZIRAPHALE KISSES AMAZON???
You would think that considering Amazon also houses Hazbin Hotel and Hellava boss that there wouldn't be homophobia. While I don't see any evidence of this outside the obvious lack of kisses, I'm blaming Amazon and calling bullshit. We had to cut so much but no kisses?
