Y'ALL! Forgive the two strands of hair on my forehead who had minds of their own this episode. I've decided to name them Crowley and Aziraphale as they are clearly on their own side hahaha 😆 I've already posted FULL/UNEDITED reactions to SEASON 2 on PATREON: patreon.com/chachisays
Adam said, "You're not my dad" but then followed it up with, "And you never were". That undid it all. He was never the Anti Christ and everything related to him being so was undone.
@@nothinginparticilar You mean the hellhound that had everything hell related burnt out of it and was turned into a perfectly normal dog long before the wannabe apocalypse took place?
@@EterPuralis by "everything hell related" you mean "a little bit more of hell"?)) Anyway, that wasn't my personal conclusion only. In the version of this episode with Neil and Douglas's commentary they explicitly mention this.
You can just baaaaarely see it, but Crowley and Aziraphale hold hands on the bus ride home from the airbase. It's at 9:33 , when Aziraphale sits down by Crowley you can see him reaching. It's a miniscule moment, but it's confirmed by Neil Gaiman. :) Cuuuute.
I was watching EP1-5 reactions yesterday and was like "It'd be so nice if today season finale would pop up" and here it is! Also it took me a while to notice that Aziraphale and Crowley were switched even when they were checking up on their "material objects" hence Aziraphale's "How's the car?" probably meant something like "How is *my* car?" and Crowley's "How is the bookshop?" was Aziraphale wondering about his bookshop. Not to mention "Crowley's" "It's not a problem. It's tickety-boo" which is a reference to Aziraphale when he says that to Crowley early on when he just found The Book. Well, I suppose the first hint was "Crowley's" overpolite "What appears to be the problem?" at the start of the episode...
Also “Crowly” handing “Aziraphale” the icecream cone. “Aziraphale” is just looking at it like he’s clueless what to do with it, making no effort at all to eat it.
I can't WAIT for you to watch S2! Oh god and the way Michael Sheen plays Crowley-as-Aziraphale in heaven? the VERY subtle smirk, the barely surpressed rage? SO.FUCKING.GOOD! (and mad hot ngl!) the fucking end scene at the ritz wheere they make mad heart eyes at each other (AGAIN) and the song? please just murder me already *.* AND CROWLEY LITERALLY STOPPED TIME BECAUSE AZIRAPHALE THREATENED TO NEVER TALK TO HIM AGAIN I JDSAF;FHDA!!!! These two idiots have all my heart and more
We totally had the same train of thought before the body swap was revealed! I HIGHLY recommend watching that entire sequence again, because once you know that they switched bodies, there's so many little choices that the actors make that show they switched bodies. Especially Michael Sheen and his expressions, he plays Crowley disguised as Aziraphale so well! Loving your reactions!!!
I love that one of Crowley's coolest, sexiest, most badass scenes is actually Aziraphale roleplaying, because it clearly tells us how he sees Crowley. Though in hindsight after S2 I'm surprised he didn't seize the opportunity to drive the car.
You are so right, I have smiled and laughed all through this. The second series is a lot funnier also, I've never thought about the rom com aspect. Also isn't it romantic that Crowley stops time rather than risk Aziraphale not talking to him again. And just before they get on the bus, romantic music kicks in.
I've seen people watch the two of them at the Ritz and say they have a beautiful friendship, how can somebody be so blind? It's such a romantic scene? 😅 Anyway, a bit that really gets me about that conversation is that they changed Crowley's line in the book from "(...) just enough of a bastard to be worth liking" to "knowing" and "knowing" someone in the biblical sense has an interesting implication 😏😅 Can't wait to see what you think of season 2 😊
Just wait-Season 2 is even more romcom-y. Season 1 covers the entire plot of the book, which was written in the 80s-90s, so a lot of relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley was portrayed through subtext (although they do straight up call Aziraphale "gayer than a barrel full of monkeys on nitrous oxide" lmao). They added some stuff to make it more overt in the show (including the jaunt through time in episode 3). But Season 2 (and the hopefully forthcoming Season 3) cover material that Neil and Terry discussed for a sequel but never got to write before Terry's death.
I think, according to another reaction, that it was probably the dog that still has powers. No one said anything about the dog becoming a normal dog, and it makes sense. A loophole, in that Adam can hint at the dog to be like "I can't leave, UNLESS you ran away, then I'd have no choice but to follow" *wink wink* Onto s2!
I think there is a reasonable chance that Adam still has power. While time was stopped, Aziraphele said that Adam was not heaven incarnate or hell incarnate, that Adam was human incarnate. It was an interesting choice of words (at that moment Adam certainly could wield as much power as angels and demons,) followed up at the end of the story by Adam stealing an apple and God referencing back to the garden of Eden with "There never was an apple, in Adam's opinion, that wasn't worth the trouble you got into for eating it.' So Adam Young is tied to the first Adam, and not just by his name. Also notice that when the bookstore is put back to rights, there are extra books in there - children's books, presumably that Adam has enjoyed. I think the jury is still out on how much power, if any, Adam has retained.
In the book it's made very clear that Adam held on to just a little bit of his power because before the hole in the hedge happens "he looked carefully from side to side, then even more carefully up and down."
That certain night, the night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dining at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I may be right, I may be wrong But I'm perfectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square The streets of town were paved with stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I know 'cause I was there That night in Berkeley Square - Not subtle at all. ;)
My favorite thing in this episode is that, despite everything in the whole season leading up to it, Crowley and Aziraphale are basically useless by the time they actually get to the air base. Like, they give Adam a pep talk and that's almost the full extent of their "help" in like the entire season. The most useful thing either of them did in averting Armageddon was Crowley accidentally telling the nun the wrong room number eleven years earlier.
It IS a rom-com! If I recall correctly, the second season got first place in rom-coms or something 😊 So excited for you to watch the second season!!!!❤
So a little context for the book. Sir Terry Pratchett was one of Neil Gaiman's idols so when Sir Terry contacted Neil about doing a collab book Neil claimed it was the closest he'd ever get "to Michalangelo phoning me up and asking if you were free to help paint a ceiling". When Sir Terry was diagnosed with alzheimers he told Neil that Neil needed to make a Good Omens TV show because he wanted to see it but was too ill to make it. Unfortunately Sir Terry passed away before the scripts were completed but Neil was determined to finish the show because now it was a last request. Sir Terry also told Neil that the difference between them was that "You (Neil) never believe adaptaions are going to happen until you're in the cinema eating popcorn. And I just dont believe they're going to happen." So at the cinema premier for episode one they placed Sir Terry's signature hat on the seat next to Neil with a bag of popcorn. Edit: apparently there were once plans for a sequel called "668 the neighbour of the beast" but they never came to anything. But because Neil wanted to keep his friends work alive he used the ideas that theyd thrown around as a basis for series 2. If all of this doesnt make you fall in love with Neil I dont know what will.
There's one more piece of canon media out there, too. They made a short bit during the London lockdowns. It's an interesting little insight into what these two were doing between the two seasons!
Aaand now if you rewatch them after they get on the bus, you can notice a lot of clues that they're switched! It's awesome, and so obvious in retrospect lol
OMG! "It starts as it ends. In a garden." I didn't even notice that when I watched it, adams story with the whole apple eating thing is officially closed. I'd thought it meant "the end" as in "the end of the world" not "the end of the story"
I like to think that Agnes Nutter knew that they'd burn the book, so she didn't bother writing it and just put enough effort in to make them think it was real in order to kickstart Anathema's feeling of freedom from the prophecies. Can't wait for season 2. I want to say it's better than season 1, but it's not, it's only exactly as good.
Season 1 is all of the book that it is based on. As it happens, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, who wrote the book, had the chance to talk at length before Terry passed away, and they discussed what the next book was going to be like - so even though they did not write a second book in the series together, they did create a blueprint and that was how Season 2 came about. Now I don't know about Season 3 other than they are making a third season ... my guess is that it will be just the work of Neil Gaiman, which would likely give it a different flavour but it should still be good.
Actually, Season 3 is the one based on the planned sequel! Season 2 was written to be a bridge into Season 3, Neil said. iirc they didn't write a second book because both were busy with other projects and becoming famous and such
@@aliciam6145 In that case, even so, season 2 would still have the influences of Terry simply because to bridge from a story he co-wrote to a story the two planned together would still be influenced on both ends by Terry's thoughts. I like both writers, but Terry had a light whimsical view that I think is important in this story, Neil can be whimsical too, but "light" is not what I know him as - his writing is a bit heavier and tends to be more violent - like American Gods. For this story you need elements of both to hit the right balance.
@@TheFireMonkey yeah that makes sense and I agree, I was just quoting (well paraphrasing) what Neil himself had said about it - that the plot of season 3 would be what he and Terry had discussed for the sequel
I so loved the first season. Its standalone so lovely. Funny. Witty. I was really excited for season 2 but unfortunately, retrospective, I think a stand alone would have been better
good omens 2 as much attention as it has attracted is not a rom com. A far wider perspective regarding humanity is at stake and the profound issues of enduring friendship on any level. Do no trivialize thiis
Wooooo!! So excited to watch thissssss!!!! 😇😈 Edit now that I've finished the video: I can't wait for u to watch season 2!!! Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!! And yes Good Omens is 100% a rom-com and i love it lmao 🔥🩶🏳️🌈🖤🪽

Newton being destined to save the world by having absolutely no skills👌👌👌
He was perfect just the way he was.
Relatable tbh

Kinda makes you wonder who his mom is, considering he kept his powers

"Lick some serious butt!" Has to be one of my favorite lines
😂 the best
It always brings me to my knees, laughing 😅
Watch Aziraphale/Madame Tracy right after Crowley corrects them. You can see them saying quietly to themselves, "Ah,*kick* butt!"
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And as we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I know 'cause I was there
That night in Berkeley Square
- Not subtle at all. ;)
