Very nicely presented. You have the gift.

I hope we get to see Shadwell return. We really need more characters from S1 returning, because the low amount was a little disappointing.

Why can't Americans learn to pronounce British place names correctly? Glasgow is pronounced "glas-go" to rhyme with show not "glas-gow" to rhyme with cow 😂 I don't mean to be pedantic but it happens on every American show/video that mentions the UK, and I find it very irritating and distracting. It's hard to take someone seriously when they make such basic errors

Wishing you to recover at a comfortable pace=) Thank you for sharing all the news=3

0:39 i love Crowley menacingly staring at us in the intro

I think it would be great if they could bring back one or two characters or actors from S1. I don't think they should more than one or two new characters for the finale. It might make sense for Shadwell to return but McKeon could certainly play another character. 🤞

th-cam.com/video/OMShs0PzAss/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared Michael Sheen posted 5 days ago. Seems relevant to GO3

I’m excited to hear about filming. It’s good to at least have one thing to look forward to next year.

Thanks so much for your work and giving us hope. Please take care of yourself.

Very nice. :-). But I wouldn't say Michael portrayed Christ in the Passion. More like a a Christ-like figure, A small but important difference, imo.

Oh such lovely tidbits! Thank you for all the news and interesting things happening in the Good Omens omniverse.

I love Good Omens news bites. ❤

I think they could bring the OG characters back, but I wonder if it would be too obvious? Given Adam can reset things, is it a bit deus ex machina to bring him back to reset the second coming. Still he is out there with his powers still. It's been snowy and stormy in Britain and especially Scotland, I wonder if that would affect filming, although I guess it can be set in any season. Love that sweater!

Will the filming in January start in Edinburgh or elsewhere?!

I do hope to see Shadwell return as a character--I thought he was hilarious and so well-played by Mr. McKean, one of my favorite character actors. And if we get Michael McKean back as another character, that would be great, too. He's wonderful in any role.

So sorry you aren't feeling well! Please don't apologize, we're lucky you post videos at all! You'd make a superb researcher, analyst, or investigator if you ever aspire to a career in those fields--if you're not doing that type of work already! Your facility for finding, curating, contextualizing, and analyzing detailed information is remarkable.

I am so hyped

I don't know if it was ever a possibility, but it would have been neat if Shadwell's actor was intended to play Furfur originally. I like the idea of Tracy/Shax being double paired with Shadwell/Furfur. Imagine the fanfic! "We come together in every life, but we're also always some kind of ridiculous!"

I hope he’s in the 90 minutes I missed him in s2

Did you see that there's also an Azi version of the sweater? (The red and black is, of course, the Crowley version!) Thanks as always for the news!!

Excellent - Happy to see your videos!! 😊 Hope you feel completely well again soon 🧡⭐ Looking forward to the upcoming analysis vids! Wahoo for the updates, I'm definitely getting one of those jumpers whenever they make them available 😎😈💖😇🥰

I’m always amazed that you manage to collect all the information. So thank you for sharing it. I’m also a bit gobsmacked by your thought process…. How you come up with so many theories and analysis of GO. And they always are valid and worthy of discussion. I’m so grateful that you are here and make the GO world so interesting. I do kind of hope Shadwell returns. I thought he was such a hilarious character and so well played. My other favorite characters besides the obvious, are Shax and Furfur. I hope they are back too. Look forward to your next analysis. And, as always, thank you so much for what you do. And thank you for Discord!

I loved The Hogfather

Michael and Georgia were the first i added to Bluesky. I'll look you up Sendarya.

Get well ❤❤❤

Thanks Sendarya! All the GO discorders and FaceBookers want that jumper too! LOL! 😂😂 I want to see Shadwell and Mme Tracey back in the finale to see if they got married and/or got their "little house in the countryside". It would be quite fun to see Nina's reaction to Shadwell asking her how many nipples she has! 🤣😂🤣😂

First comment💪🥇

15:26 You deliberately added SHE instead of HE...down with the patriarchy :) ...please video is interesting no need for the gender activism.

I have observed the use of comfort media by people I care about, but I'm left wondering what is wrong with me, that I've never had those touchstones? I don't rewatch or reread media with which I've previously engaged. I don't have a collection of movies, shows, or CD's. I don't have any music player devices or apps. The one exception has been Good Omens, but it wasn't in a comforting way. In fact it was painful. Devastating even. I watched the first season, and enjoyed it, but it didn't emotionally impact me. I looked forward to the second season, but not rabidly. The second season was excellent, and I was invested in the mystery, and seeing these two together again. Season 2, episode 5? I was hopeful; excited for a building tension in the will they/won't they dynamic. But season 2 episode 6? The final 15? I was happily, blindly, led by the nose, but still not in a charged, emotional way. But it was a "rope a dope". Setting all of us up, to shock us when the rug was pulled out from under us. Giving us exactly what we wanted, but in the worst way imaginable. I don't know if I have the vocabulary to describe the impact. A gut punch? Yes. The floor dropping from below my feet? Yes. My heart ripped from my chest? Yes. Anguish. Despair. Pain. Pain. Pain. None of it is sufficient to describe it. It took me a while to process why it hurt me so much. I had to watch other people experience and voice their pain, in reaction videos. Crying along with strangers, over and over again. Actively seeking out ways to feel the pain again, so I could determine why it felt so familiar and devastating. Watching other people experience it too, let me know it wasn't just me that found it devastating. Couldn't get it out of my mind. Watching the final 15 on repeat, I finally recognized my trigger, and it happened 3 decades ago. Past relationship, yada yada yada. I'd never read fanfiction before. When it was first mentioned to me, years ago, I was baffled by the concept. Couldn't understand why people would devote so much time to creating it, and others would spend so much time consuming it. (Maybe it has something to do with why I don't have comfort books, songs, movies or shows.🤷‍♀) But somewhere along the way, I found this channel.❤❤❤ And you Sendarya, introduced me to a new way to experience Good Omens, and for my brain, which loves puzzles and mysteries, a most intriguing way to engage with the show, separate from the pain. To watch again, looking for easter eggs and clues. You mentioned fan fiction, or someone commented on a video about it, and I dove into the Good Omens ocean of stories. I was seeking solace, resolution, insight into my own swirling emotions, and a way to organize my own theories, interpretations, and predictions, to test against other people's ideas. Long winded as usual (sorry!), just to say, I still don't have any comfort media, but Good Omens, the fan fiction, and this channel are the closest I've ever come. 💐

Someone has asked me recently how a show could save life. And I realised I didn't use to get it either. I thought it was an exaggeration, a way to express the love for the show. But then it happened to me… For the past 4 years I've been struggling with depression caused by external factors (meaning it isn't just down to my brain's messed up chemistry). My living conditions went down the drain without much warning and due to legal complexities, there is nothing I can do about it. My life was reduced to mindless day-to-day existence with zero joy in it, just shuffling one foot in front of another with no hope of it ever getting better. You can guess where my thoughts often wandered. I won't admit it out loud (I have learnt through painful experience how dangerous that is in my country), but I won't deny it either. And then came Good Omens and it was like getting shocked back to life with a defribrillator. The night I watched s2 finale my brain immediately went into overdrive and I hyperfixated with the intensity I'd never known before (and mind you, I've had plenty of hyperfixations over decades!). It's been many, many years since I'd graduated from university (I majored in literature) and for the first time since, I wanted to pick a narrative apart, analyse every detail I could find, while at the same time constantly daydreaming about Aziracrow. Whenever anxieties and despair came, I now had an escape, a mental safe space to distract me and lift me back up. I think people underestimate the power of storytelling. The great Polish epic Pan Tadeusz was a massive hit when it was published because Poland had just been partitioned and the narrative told of days gone-by and happier times. It was an escape from the overwhelming, depressing reality, and a place of comfort. When Poland got its first translation of Winnie the Pooh, the translator (a talented poet) had taken many liberties, making it much smoothed-over and more elegant and fluffy than the original - again, it was an instant hit to brighten the grim reality of the II World War Poland. When Jews were forced into ghettos in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, they read contraband books and shared them in secrecy, risking punishment. So when someone tells you a show saved their live, consider they might mean it. Perhaps they watched it to distract themselves from heartbreak or loneliness, and maybe they found comfort in the fandom. Perhaps they daydreamed about the story to make each depression-ridden day a bit lighter. Perhaps as they succumbed to darkness, they imagined a fictional angel (or demon) holding their hand and offering them a caring embrace. I wish my love for Good Omens had lasted. These days it feels more like grasping at staws, trying to resuscitate what it used to be. I feel pain and sorrow whenever I engage with the show or even fan content. I can't force myself to feel hopeful or trust the movie creators. Dedicated as they are, it simply isn't possible to squeeze a complex novel-sized plot into 90 minutes. Other successful adaptations of Terry Pratchett's books are 3h+ long, NG's Stardust is 2h+. I simply don't believe Good Omens 3 can deliver in 1.5h. That's the huge risks that comes with trusting contemporary media. They can be ripped away from you on a whim, without any warning or chance to impact the decision (all the massive action of the OFMD fandom amounted to nothing in the end). The entertainment industry, which was supposed to offer comfort, escape and carefreeness, has turned into a source of anxiety and seen as toxic parents (I've seen people saying they're afraid to sign a petition thinking Prime could "punish them" by completely cancelling GO). I don't think I'll ever risk looking at anything that isn't complete, definitely not a streaming service production.

Good Omens is kind of the first TV show I actually WATCHED and cared about. My comfort media is probably Nimona(the book), and my Good Omens playlist. Thankyou for sharing about something so important. Stay safe everyone! Love you all! ❤

It's super easy. Old Testament "For I am a jealous & vengeful God!" Spoken like a true narcissist. Angels never really have to do something "wrong" just be in the vicinity when "God" is in a mood.

Guilty until proven innocent, right?

Isn't he like the yaldabaoth?, demiurge?, the jealous god?

9:28 I have a theory I think this scene refers to how Metatrom separated Aziraphale and Crowley (the sword in the middle of their hands) and how Aziraphale will be betrayed by Michael, Uriel and Saraqael (the three swords in his back) in season 3

In recent years Becky Chambers’s Wayfarers books have been my comfort reading. The complexities of the world are enormous, but in the end, sharing our lives with others who value us is what really matters.

Aziraphale smile in the end has always given me the same vibes that Mia Goth's smile at the end of Pearl lmao

Remember whole families watching Wizard of Oz every year.

Personally, I started reading Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels when I was at that transition zone from secondary school to university, and at the same time lost my grandmothers within a few years of each other. The impassioned and compassionate way in which he looked at the world and people in it helped shape me in a time I was feeling unmoored. I don't currently read all that much, but I'm glad I have a personal library of these novels to reach for when I'm at a loss for input.

Good Omens made me laugh during a really dark period of my life. And it made me wake up and be glad to be alive. I often feel apathetic to life, but Good Omens makes me feel things and enjoy people's company, which is kinda miraculous.

I’ve gone so deeply into my survival cave in the past week, I needed this reminder. I just put on my Indigo Girls cd while I write about Good Omens✨ Thanks for the support and the reminder, Sendarya!💝🖤🩶🤍✨

I am currently having trouble actually watching the Good Omens show and i let its fandom distort my perception of it. I am trying to work on it by aiming to watch it without distractions like i usually do. I know this show can have good themes and characters, i just need to find a time where i can look at it for myself and rediscover why i took interest in the show in the first place.

I wonder if the infinity ♾️ symbol was initially adopted to represent a mobius strip - having a single surface

If I don't see Azi holding someone by the clothes and deliver the line "I'm an Angel. I'm not nice" nor Crowley off-handedly deliver "I forgive you", then I will be disappointed, Neill

Right now with the election and still living with the fallout of two intense natural disasters and working a mandatory overtime for a job trying to work with recovery from it, I have started watching the 11th Doctors episodes of Doctor Who and definitely realizing what a comfort media and character he was for me

Beautifully said. Thank you. 💙🩷💙

I am both in GO and Tolkien fandom, the second I pursued privately until last year, do to the "dudebros" fan being over active online

My comfort character is actually my own Dungeons & Dragons-character that I've been roleplaying for 5 years. I listen to her playlist whenever I need a boost of energy for a challenging task, and I often draw parallells between her struggles and relationships and my own. I just love the person she has become while playing through a highly improvised story at the gaming table, in ways I could never have planned out beforehand. Same with writing original stories, I think. It's fascinating how much easier it is to reflect while in a fictional person's headspace than in your own.

Thank you so much for this news. I never used twitter/X, but I am going to join Bluesky. It sounds very interesting.

Thanku so much fr providing much more context to this experience. I will probably rewatch this video too and can use it to explain or raise this fr discussion wth ppl I wish to understand this aspect of my life experiences better
