Good Omens 3

That was Nice but I wish it was a little bit more than Nice. Jesus was bafflingly underused which is a shame because Bilal Hasna was EXCELLENT. I did like that they managed to sneak a tiny cameo in of Adam the Antichrist seemingly maybe dating Jesus in the rewritten world!

Everyone is so mad about the ending but I’m not. Asa and Anthony are Aziraphale and Crowley in every way that matters as far as I can see, they’re a cosmic fanfiction turned canon, it really worked for me. I accept it might not work for everyone.

I don’t know. I’m fine with what we got, but I probably would have been fine if it really had ended at season 2. There’s just something so, I don’t know, meta-poetic about a pair of fictional lovers separated forever because their God turned out to be a rapist.

I hope no one else has asked this one yet, I couldn’t find an answer in the FAQ spreadsheet. I’m curious about what happened to the Zombie Nazis? I realized upon rewatching season 2 that there isn’t really anything said beyond the fact they will remain zombies. Could they turn other people into zombies? Will there be more said about them in season 3, if we get a third season?

I’ve seen a lot of talk about how Aziraphale was wrong and why but we also need to face the fact that Crowley’s solution is also a mistake.

He keeps going on about running off to Alpha Centauri because he’s a romantic but in reality that has never really been the right option for either of them.

The whole reason this solution works for Gabriel and Beelzebub is that neither of them gives a flying fuck about Earth. Leaving it behind, along Heaven and Hell, means nothing to them.

But Crowley and Aziraphale love Earth. They stopped the entire Armageddon just because they wanted to stay here rather than go back to spend eternity in their respective realms.

Leaving, even for love, even for each other, is never going to be right for them. Just like trying to fix broken systems from within will never work (but that’s a whole other issue).

The answer, the only real answer, is to stay and fight back and chose Earth and life and maybe even mortality… together. They were close to the answer during s1, but it still took some pushing. Especially for Crowley (who has already faced awful consequences for daring to take a stand) compared to Aziraphale (who is far more naive and therefore inclined to an ‘I can fix it!’ mentality).

But they never really settled on that choice. Not yet, anyway. Which is why, at the smallest hint of trouble, they each reverted to their instinctual answers (flee vs fix it). Starting with their answer to Gabriel and building up to the ultimate consequences in their final break up.

The thing is… THE THING IS that Crowley, by ways of recognizing and acknowledging his feelings for Aziraphale, is maybe closer now to the correct approach (“You can’t leave this bookshop”) but neither of them is entirely there yet.
