My favorite thing about the conversation between Nina and Crowley is that she asked "do you have a husband or boyfriend" but nothing about a wife or girlfriend. She took one look at him and said "there's no heterosexual explanation for that one" 🤣
Part of why Aziraphale's so good at tempting is because of his and Crowley's Arrangement over the millennia where they'd save each other work over the years by one of them traveling to a place where both tempting and blessing were assigned to happen and they'd take turns doing both.
I think the strangled tone Crowley took on when he said "He's just an angel I know" is because he realized, perhaps at that very second, what a huge lie he was telling himself as well as Nina. He may have never realized until that instant that he even HAD a love life.
EXACTLY! As the esteemed creators said in the book, angels (and demons) don't have sex, gender, ext. unless they make an effort. While we "see" them as humans, for them bodies and maybe emotions/feelings are more like costumes because they are a different species. But undoubtably, Crowley and Aziraphale have grown and evolved over the 6,000 + years they have spent with humanity and each other.
My interpretation of that was: Crowley just realised, just a second after he said it, that the line "He's just an Angel" sounded wrong/like a pet name. So he added "I know" to try and save it 😂
What really gets me is the moment right before Aziraphale asks Crowley to dance, because you can see him working himself up to it before he does., in the expressions on his face and the way his eyes are darting around. Like he isn't hearing a WORD Crowley is saying in that moment lol
The "seamstress" title is from Terry Pratchett. That was the euphemism for the "Ladies of Negotiable Affection" in the Discworld. This would occasionally cause problems when a gentleman came calling looking for someone who actually knows how to sew.
The choice of euphemism is probably because of Discworld. However there is a historical basis for it. During the California gold rush many women in that profession listed seamstress on their tax forms. I don't know how widely used it was in history but Terry Pratchett borrowed it, he didn't invent it.
Also I just have to say, I freaking love David Tennant. Did you hear about him telling anti-trans bigots to “F**k off and let people be”? Icon. Ally. Thought I couldn’t love him even more, I was wrong.
Now recently he earn LGBTQ award of Best Ally. David told member of the Conservative Party to shut up (Kemi Badenoch) she is well know for having extremely anti LGBTQ policies and want to pass laws, such as banning trans people from public bathrooms and from allying sports, all in the name to “protect women from deprived men”😤 even stupid JK Rowling is pissed at him calling him “Gender Taliban” Bri no one invited her into the conversation but since she has nothing better to do she sticks her damn nose where it doesn’t belong.😂
Well of course he pissed off Rowling, she is currently transforming into British Alex Jones. Only difference is that he screams into a microphone while she's chronically online on Twitter.
Btw Aziraphale was taught the 'language of love' by a guy effectively called 'Mr nightingale' ...Only he learnt french the hard way and he doesn't speak it good. Good luck for the next episode!
it's also interesting how angels and demons can speak any language on earth (like how Aziraphale spoke Chinese and Japanese effortlessly) yet French is the one language Azriaphale _chose_ to learn the hard way but never quite got the hang of
The Demon who keeps getting discorperated is called Eric. That look on Crowley's face at 12:57. He has been denying them even being friends for over 6000 years (hence the change in his tone of voice) It is at this point I personally think he finally realises that what he feels is what the Humans call "Falling in love" ❤❤❤ Muriel is a 37th order scrivener a lot lower down the heirachy than Michael and Uriel, who are Archangels. Yes, the bookshop is an embassy of Heaven, so Demons have to be invited in to enter. Apart from Crowley, of course! Neil Gaiman said something like "If anyone asks me what love is, I say it's not leaving someone on their own" the fandom went WILD remembering that that was EXACTLY what Crowley had said to Azi. "They are in love, your honour!" ❤❤❤ I thought I had a dirty mind! I have watched this so many times and never even got that reference "I'll come quietly!" I am crying laughing and kicking my feet at your facial expression, Morgan! 😂😂😂😂 I never noticed the miracle sound when Maggie takes Nina's hand, I thought that they did it themselves. I agree that if Azi did that he was going too far, although I doubt that there was any malice on his part, he probably got carried away in the moment.
I feel like Crowley has saved Aziraphale more than twice. Not only in the big ways (not telling heaven he lied about Jobs children for example) but also in a million small ways. Like miracling away the paint stain from his jacket, making Hamlet a success, letting him borrow his car... His love language is clearly acts of service 😭💜
Haha, friend, English is not my native language so I never thought about it that much 😂 Now that line is going to chase me every time I rewatch it, thanks Morgan and fandom 😂
Morgan, you should definitely watch Doctor Who. Especially the David Tennant eras. Also the 26 seasons you was referencing was the original run between 1963 and 1989. You'd want the the modern era that started since 2005 which is currently on its 14th season.
as someone who was also intimidated by the length of Doctor Who and therefore only started watching it this year (yes it was slightly because of David Tennant), but has now already watched 4 seasons - do ittttttt (and yeah I started on the 2005 era but I probably will eventually watch the old stuff)
It's a popular fan theory that the reason why Aziraphale and Crowley's miracle performed together was so strong is because they love each other. Basically, even though they tried to just do half a miracle the power of love amplified it lol. Just think how powerful their miracle will be if they both put their everything in it
that's... true.... And suspicious.... And I never thought about it... Why did you give me so much to think about when the wait for season 3 is sooooo long??? I need answers now! 😭😭
Michael Sheen really deserved an Emmy for this role. David Tennant really deserved an Emmy for this role. To think, by now you've already seen Episode 6, so you'll have seen the full depth of their commitment to both roles by now. Next week we're in for a doozy of a reaction!
I love that you have a notebook of Good Omens facts that you regularly refer to - it's the sweetest thing! I didn't have someone to watch it with, so watching you get excited over the same things I did is so comforting
Crowley went a little Kilgrave with Jim/Gabriel. Crowley willing to go back to heaven to save Aziraphale and find out what happened to Gabriel is the reason he's my favorite character in this show. He truly loves Aziraphale.
In a previous episode, Morgan, you literally said "I did not care for it" and I was so bursting to tell you that you were directly quoting Crowley - only I couldn't because of spoilers. So glad I can mention it now! 18:55
Post-episode Morgan: I agree. The ball is Aziraphale's love declaration to Crowley. At least they did dance and Crowley curled his fingers over Aziraphale's fingers. Lazarus was brought back from the dead.
I think the 'seamstress' comment is a reference to Terry Pratchett's discworld - there's a guild of seamstresses in the city of Ankh-Morpork, or the 'ladies of negotiable affection'
I love that you put on fancy clothes for this one, you epic human! Side note; any episode where Mar Mar shows up makes it even better. She clearly lives for drama, she always shows up in wild episodes.
for the "wait and see!" tidbit, whenever we as a fandom ask something about future seasons (while we were waiting for s2 especially), Neil Gaiman would just go "wait and see >:))" and the entire fandom would go "YOURE FUCKING INFURIATINGSAHFJAKFKA"
Just because anytime I see them I have to say something, the magic shop owner's spouse is played by Andrew O'Neill. They're a British non-binary comedian and musician and they're amazing.
On Tumblr, Neil explained that when he wrote the script, they hadn't cast the current owner of the magic shop so he chose the word "spouse" since he didn't know if the owner would be male or female but in the spirit of this show, casting suggested non-binary Andrew O'Neill, who was delighted both to take part and especially with their yellow costume for the ball. Their tweets were awesome!
Still not over the fact that the name of Aziraphale's French teacher translates to Nightingale 😭😭😭 And uh, screaming at the two of them to talk to each other is probably the most commonly said thing this season 😅 I don't know if I'm ready to watch the finale reaction, even though I've seen it twice myself 😅
Aziraphale has never really _needed_ to be saved. He has needed to go on the dates he and Crowley have afterwards (although I don't think he expected Crowley in 1941).
the 26 seasons are old doctor who that came out between the 60s and 80s. Modern doctor who started in 2005 and is on season 14, still a lot but yeah. David is in season 2, 3 and 4, if you want to watch them. Although I recommend also watching the 1st season too, since some characters carry over, and its good to have the context. I also watched the first 4 seasons and then took a break from the show.
I will say the GO fandom is one of the most welcoming I’ve ever come across. I love being a part of this fandom. And I’m so glad to have you a part of it as well! 💜
I really like the fact that aziraphale learned french (the language knew as the language of love) in the hard way. The way humans do. Just like he learned how to love in earth. I think it shows a lot of his character. And even being bad doing it and getting it wrong a lot of times, he's trying his best. And exatcly like he said to Crowley: "and even that way you understand me"
Aziraphale is immensely invested in things he’s learnt the hard way, like conjuring, dancing, and speaking French. Even though he seems to be a bit rubbish at most of them.
Ineffable (insufferable) husbands are my everything ❤ "I will come quietly" ----> "not according to the fanfictions" MORGAN!! I can't say I didnt hear it but...
Aziraphale and Crowley making assumptions, omitting information, and generally not listening to each other is a huge issue lol. I love them so much, but their terrible communication skills drive me up the wall. I agree though, I think Aziraphale throwing the ball was, in his heart, more for him and Crowley than for Nina and Maggie. And it's not like he didn't know what he was asking for when he asked Crowley for a dance. You could see the nervousness and giddiness in his face. I'm convinced it WOULD have been more romantic if Crowley's thoughts hadn't been preoccupied. Aziraphale thought they were safe in the shop, but Crowley knew they weren't and Az wasn't really listening.
Morgan, your reactions to GO have been my favourite, you are catching small details and do research and you are so invested in them it gives me the warmest feelings ❤ You react to the show with as much love as the makers of the show, Neil and the actors are putting into the show. It's the absolute best feeling to be part of the GO universe and your reactions bring back so many emotions from when I first watched it! Now, onwards to episode 6. 🙊🙊🙊🤐
I do think that as far as the ball goes, Aziraphale wasn't necessarily forcing them to feel things they didn't feel. He affected their clothes and the way they spoke and their ability to dance, and made it so they didn't find any of that odd, but I think as far as forced emotions go, the most he did was throw out a general aura of happiness and willingness to go along with the event. Nina says she knows she's upset but doesn't feel it, so I think he minimized any negative feelings, but he did say that he can't just miracle love, which is why they had to do the whole matchmaking thing in the first place. So while he's very heavily forcing the situation, I don't think he has the ability to make them feel a way that they don't, only to prevent their negative emotions from reaching them. Still an invasion of privacy and not a good thing to do, of course.
I think that's all kind of explained by the end as well. It's the naivety of both Crowley and Aziraphale to think you can make people fall in love. And the fact they had that conversation in the pub, with Crowley thinking it's like in a film, and Aziraphale thinking it's like Jane Austen. I don't think it's sinister at all, they're being sweet, but it all plays out really well.
A little help from a french fan : Aziraphale said : 8:00 hello Justine ! 8:02 Excuse me 8:20 Excellent ! 8:55 ...i have a shop keepers meeting association in my book shop... 9:10 Goodbye !
I'm more of a silent viewer and I don't really comment often, but I absolutely love how invested you get with Crowley and Aziraphale. Also, I'd love to know where you got Crowley's Glasses from at the beginning of the video? I've been looking for a pair myself ahaha.
Thought I might be able to help you out :3 I think Morgan talked about the glasses in their recent channel update stream saying they got the crowley glasses from amazon! Morgan also mentioned that the glasses had this thing over the lenses that they removed to make it more screen accurate.. (I ordered the same once and did that too, I also glued some very small magnets onto the lenses to give it that crowley look) hope this helps ~
I was gonna respond but someone already has. If you look up “crowley glasses” on amazon the glasses will pop up (they have an extra bar like timey said so you’ll have to dremel it off)
I don't think Aziraphale made anybody feel things they didn't otherwise. I saw it more like he put an Instagram filter over reality. He changed the parameters of acceptable behaviour through which desires are expressed? The seamstress thing is a Terry Pratchett reference. In his Discworld novels, the largest city has a guild of sex workers referred to as the Guild of Seamstresses. Like here, they are represented in the Discworld as pillars of the local business community. Sympathetic portrayals of sex workers are a rare but consistent feature of Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories.
Seriously re-watching the 1793 scene in S.1E.3 hits differently after "rescuing me makes him so happy". He literally says he can't "do a miracle and go home" because he was reprimanded for doing "too many frivolous miracles". But then DO A FRIVOLOUS MIRACLE to change his clothes and go eat crêpes with Crowley. So Crowley came to his recue in 1793 - but Aziraphale risked getting beheaded just because he wanted to have a date with him?! He may have realized he was in love in 1941, but man did it start waaaayyyy before that lol Ps: you're my absolute favorite Good Omens reactor. I feel like I'm watching it for the first time again with you. Thank you so much 💕💕 I will be so sad when you're done watching it. (And we're in the same asexual club 🏳️🌈) Ps2: my mother tongue is French amd Aziraphale is not that bad. I understood everything he said to Justine with no difficulty whatsoever. But, strangely enough, I couldn't understand AT ALL what he said to Crowley, at first. So Crowley saying he understood Aziraphale "only because of the 250 years you're been wittering on about the plume of your imaginary tante" is even funnier.
I could be wrong and it might be historically accurate, but 'seamstress' is used by Sir Terry Pratchett in the Discworld stories and it's absolutely a nod to his books where the term is used quite often, often with hilarious implications such as a young woman coming to find work as a seamstress or when men actually need a seamstress but knock on the door of a seamstress.
"Seamstress" is a reference to Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. In the Ankh-Morpork series, the "Seamstresses' Guild" is the euphemistic term for the local prostitutes' union, and he used a lot of puns and references to "Men who would like their socks darned" popping into "see the Seamstresses" as a tongue in cheek way of talking about men going to the brothels.
This season had me climbing up MOUNDS of theories and metas on Tumblr! One thing I learned: the length of Crowley's sideburns changed near constantly in Season 2. One second they look the same length as Season 1 and then BOOM they're super long and the snake tattoo is hanging around near his jawbone! Another little bit of trivia is that...Michael Sheen apparently knows the entire story because Neil Gaiman told him and...I WANT SEASON 3 AAAAAAHHHHH
I get your feelings towards everything...This episode was so TENSE And Aziraphale is 100% longing for Crowley. He has been longing for sooooo loooong and you can see him hyping himself up to ask Crowley to dance and Crowley was too nervous about this whole situation. 44:46 fyi... THAT edit exists sowewhere on tiktok. I have seen it... with S*C*E*N*E*S form episode 6...
The demon your calling out for discorporating isnt a singular one, there are multiples with the same apearance. You can remember that in the scene with Hastur in s1, where three of the same demons explain the plan to Hastur
EXACTLY! There is a line in the Bible where a demon says they are "legion." Eric, the disposable demon, is Neil's interpretation of a demon being "legion" or many. And the actor was so excited after S1 to discover that Eric has actual "fans" and stars in fan fictions. He said it was the first time he's played a character that invoked that type of a response and he was touched.
I never comment, but I love your reactions so much!! The way you really take your time to give us your fillings about characters and scenes, it’s always to interesting!!
I love watching you watch Good Omens! You may actually love the characters more than I do. In case you don't already know, David and Michael starred in Staged together: 3 seasons on TH-cam.. I also heard a rumor that they will be guest starrring as a couple in Only Murders in the Building next season.
So yes, the miracle was performed on Gabriel himself. It has a pretty similar effect as the one Adam had on him since birth in that suspicion or curiosity about “Jim” slides off him like water off a duck as Crowley would say. They made him completely uninteresting and forgettable.
After you finish this season you should read “The Magic Trick You Did Not See”. It’s an analysis of the season and posits a lot of ideas about what Neil could be leading up to in season 3, and I found it very interesting and realized a lot of little details that I wouldn’t have otherwise
Hmm. That point about Azariphale wanting to do this since 1941 but couldn't because they are on opposite sides is interesting. What if they weren't on opposite sides?
Thecnically Doctor Who has 13 Seasons (The 14th is airing this year) which is the Modern/Revived one, but last few seasons were not very prodative in episode count( usually its aroud 12ish those ones were way below) thanks to Covid. The 23 Seasons are the Classic Who which ran from 1963-1989 before being cancelled. Little Who-history for you all.😊 Also was the Fez David's idea or was it in the script? (I was like, no matter what universe he's in he just IS The Doctor)
@MorganTerry You don't need to watch the whole show, you just need to watch the first four seasons (I don't know how many episodes are in that) if you want to watch it because of David Tennant. It is one contained arc (I know David isn't in season one, but it's like 12 episodes, but its important because its sets the important elements of the show). I would love if you reacted to it. - Last night I finished the Season 2 finale and lets just say I wanted to scream so badly, but it was 10Pm and I didn't want to wake my mom up. So the next best thing: Sitting on my bed and bawling my eyes out.
I personally feel that Aziraphale's "He likes saving me" is a delusion on his part. What he's doing is causing problems for Crowley to fix, and because Crowley likes Az, he saves him without complaint, but it's still a trouble on Crowley's part. I missed the miracle on Maggie and Nina on my first watch, but it really solidifies Aziraphale's selfishness. That's been really apparent this season, and Maggie and Nina's relationship has reflected that. Crowley is Maggie, "not afraid of hard work" and willing to wait for Az to break up with his toxic relationship (Heaven) But Az isn't at that stage yet.
I don't know, I think Crowley does quite like saving Aziraphale. Maybe in THIS particular instance (and admittedly the bullet catch in 1941, though Az goes a long way to making up for it by stealing the photo), it's too much and causes an excessive amount of stress. But I think in general, the arrangement they have works because Crowley likes playing hero and Aziraphale like playing damsel. I've always interpreted it as a form of intimacy for them. Many of the times Crowley rushes in to save Aziraphale are not even situations Aziraphale NEEDS saving from, and they both know it. If you think about it, it also makes sense for Crowley to like saving Aziraphale because underneath it all, he seeks a sense of purpose, and Aziraphale is the only one in the world who actually has faith in him. He may hate being called "nice" or "good," but Aziraphale trusts him to take the lead and that is priceless.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 completely agree. Aziraphale can look after himself. He's never overly bothered in any of these, he just grumbles about paperwork, that's it. He's always delighted to see Crowley, but would be fine without him.
@@ericamacs3875 Yeah, and to be fair, it's not like Aziraphale is constantly purposefully creating big problems for Crowley to fix. For instance, the Bastille scene (if you want to interpret that Az was hoping Crowley would show up) was relatively low stakes, and the coat stains were a very minor inconvenience. And what happened in 1941 was bad, but it also CLEARLY wasn't an issue Aziraphale intended to cause. Meanwhile, in present day season 2, Aziraphale was just genuinely doing what he believed was right, and he wanted Crowley to stand beside him. Like, he's never been out here trying to make Crowley's life harder.
Yeah, Aziraphale is really putting the Eldritch in Angel in this episode, with the weird control. I do believe he couldn't properly affect Nina's mind, though, she was calling out how weird it was all the time. So it's not that they're entirely under control, just... A little.
Crowley making up that rule is something David Tennant's Doctor would also do lol and speaking of Doctor Who (and I'm only saying this because I know you've watched the next episode already so it won't be spoilers), I just want to say - it's bigger on the inside :D I really did enjoy your reaction to the episode though, this isn't just a thinly veiled urging you to watch DW lol. I think the dance had everyone's hopes up tbh. also can't believe I forgot about the "I'll come quietly" line until now but your reaction was absolute gold XD
Oh I'm excited for your reaction to the last episode~~ I made my friend watch the entire show recently and his reaction to it was "and you didnt tell me?!" XD
I don't think Aziraphale was willfully ignoring Crowley, I think he wasn't paying attention because he was psyching himself up to ask him to dance. He wasn't listening because he was nervous, not because he didn't want to hear what Crowley had to say
Every day, it's a gettin' closer...
Goin' faster than a rollercoaster...

It's simply gay radar
@@Via_Blight48 Like, have you seen how that man walks?
Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a shop, a bookshop, a bookshop with a fly, and the fly made me crazy.
Crowley: I won't leave you on your own.
Also Crowley: This seems like a good time for a field trip to Heaven.
Part of why Aziraphale's so good at tempting is because of his and Crowley's Arrangement over the millennia where they'd save each other work over the years by one of them traveling to a place where both tempting and blessing were assigned to happen and they'd take turns doing both.
Crowley spouting that fake rule to Shax is an excellent representation of David Tennant’s run as the Doctor 😆
HA I said that too. "oops, Crowley's Dr. Who was coming out!"
Right🤣🤣
Omg, this whole season I was like, Crowley, your Doctor is showing😂
I think the strangled tone Crowley took on when he said "He's just an angel I know" is because he realized, perhaps at that very second, what a huge lie he was telling himself as well as Nina. He may have never realized until that instant that he even HAD a love life.

🥺
Watch his hands in that scene before he asks. It's some great acting.
ikkkk i noticed on a rewatch it's so cute
15:10 Crowley blanking on the word “smitten” is one of my favourite gags in this episode.
The "seamstress" title is from Terry Pratchett. That was the euphemism for the "Ladies of Negotiable Affection" in the Discworld. This would occasionally cause problems when a gentleman came calling looking for someone who actually knows how to sew.
"Trousers mended while you wait!"
'hem hem'
The choice of euphemism is probably because of Discworld. However there is a historical basis for it. During the California gold rush many women in that profession listed seamstress on their tax forms. I don't know how widely used it was in history but Terry Pratchett borrowed it, he didn't invent it.
The "apostrophy on signs" bit is also something Terry Pratchett put in his books. This show was made to honor him, and you can definitely tell.
This whole season, especially the climax, feels sort of like Gaimon trying to write a Terry Pratchett story and I love that so much.

Icon. Ally. Thought I couldn’t love him even more, I was wrong.
I loved his T-shirt saying "leave trans kids alone, you absolute freaks" ❤
also if i remember correctly, one of his kids is nonbinary! that's why he often wears a little rainbow pin with the nonbinary colors on it
Now recently he earn LGBTQ award of Best Ally. David told member of the Conservative Party to shut up (Kemi Badenoch) she is well know for having extremely anti LGBTQ policies and want to pass laws, such as banning trans people from public bathrooms and from allying sports, all in the name to “protect women from deprived men”😤 even stupid JK Rowling is pissed at him calling him “Gender Taliban” Bri no one invited her into the conversation but since she has nothing better to do she sticks her damn nose where it doesn’t belong.😂
And now he's pissed off a bunch of conservative British politicians (including the prime minister) and JK Rowling 💀I love this man
Well of course he pissed off Rowling, she is currently transforming into British Alex Jones. Only difference is that he screams into a microphone while she's chronically online on Twitter.
The way I screeched the moment they danced together... they're so perfect
Btw Aziraphale was taught the 'language of love' by a guy effectively called 'Mr nightingale'

Yeah, Aziraphale (and Crowley) have long standing communication problems.
it's also interesting how angels and demons can speak any language on earth (like how Aziraphale spoke Chinese and Japanese effortlessly) yet French is the one language Azriaphale _chose_ to learn the hard way but never quite got the hang of

Neil Gaiman has said that "not actually, either" was "not good *and* human *and* a man/lad".

Muriel is a 37th order scrivener a lot lower down the heirachy than Michael and Uriel, who are Archangels.

You don’t ever have to apologize about the audio spikes. It’s so nice watching someone be just as unhinged as I am about these characters
I feel like Crowley has saved Aziraphale more than twice. Not only in the big ways (not telling heaven he lied about Jobs children for example) but also in a million small ways.
Like miracling away the paint stain from his jacket, making Hamlet a success, letting him borrow his car... His love language is clearly acts of service 😭💜

The unholy screeches I made when those two started dancing could have called forth a legion of very confused demons.
Morgan, you should definitely watch Doctor Who. Especially the David Tennant eras.
Also the 26 seasons you was referencing was the original run between 1963 and 1989. You'd want the the modern era that started since 2005 which is currently on its 14th season.
Morgan should 100% do it
And to be fair, series 13 was six episodes bc of covid...
as someone who was also intimidated by the length of Doctor Who and therefore only started watching it this year (yes it was slightly because of David Tennant), but has now already watched 4 seasons - do ittttttt
(and yeah I started on the 2005 era but I probably will eventually watch the old stuff)
Start with 2005/Christopher Eccleston.
YES PLZ!!
It's a popular fan theory that the reason why Aziraphale and Crowley's miracle performed together was so strong is because they love each other. Basically, even though they tried to just do half a miracle the power of love amplified it lol. Just think how powerful their miracle will be if they both put their everything in it
Wasn’t crowley’s outburst what they actually detected¿
@@ladyv5052 no, the timing and location don't align with that outburst.
To Muriel: "You're an angel. I know." Second instance of those four words in that order in this episode.
that's... true.... And suspicious.... And I never thought about it...
Why did you give me so much to think about when the wait for season 3 is sooooo long???
I need answers now! 😭😭
Michael Sheen really deserved an Emmy for this role. David Tennant really deserved an Emmy for this role. To think, by now you've already seen Episode 6, so you'll have seen the full depth of their commitment to both roles by now. Next week we're in for a doozy of a reaction!
I love that you have a notebook of Good Omens facts that you regularly refer to - it's the sweetest thing! I didn't have someone to watch it with, so watching you get excited over the same things I did is so comforting
Yes, this! I had noone to obsess about this with either ❤
Crowley went a little Kilgrave with Jim/Gabriel. Crowley willing to go back to heaven to save Aziraphale and find out what happened to Gabriel is the reason he's my favorite character in this show. He truly loves Aziraphale.
In a previous episode, Morgan, you literally said "I did not care for it" and I was so bursting to tell you that you were directly quoting Crowley - only I couldn't because of spoilers. So glad I can mention it now! 18:55
Post-episode Morgan: I agree. The ball is Aziraphale's love declaration to Crowley. At least they did dance and Crowley curled his fingers over Aziraphale's fingers. Lazarus was brought back from the dead.
I think the 'seamstress' comment is a reference to Terry Pratchett's discworld - there's a guild of seamstresses in the city of Ankh-Morpork, or the 'ladies of negotiable affection'
I can see that being true. Also hello fellow Discworld fan :)
I love that you put on fancy clothes for this one, you epic human!
Side note; any episode where Mar Mar shows up makes it even better. She clearly lives for drama, she always shows up in wild episodes.
for the "wait and see!" tidbit, whenever we as a fandom ask something about future seasons (while we were waiting for s2 especially), Neil Gaiman would just go "wait and see >:))" and the entire fandom would go "YOURE FUCKING INFURIATINGSAHFJAKFKA"
Good Omens season 2 reactions are like watching a car careening towards a solid brick wall. I just can't look away.
Just because anytime I see them I have to say something, the magic shop owner's spouse is played by Andrew O'Neill. They're a British non-binary comedian and musician and they're amazing.
On Tumblr, Neil explained that when he wrote the script, they hadn't cast the current owner of the magic shop so he chose the word "spouse" since he didn't know if the owner would be male or female but in the spirit of this show, casting suggested non-binary Andrew O'Neill, who was delighted both to take part and especially with their yellow costume for the ball. Their tweets were awesome!
@@briceysweeney81 If you get the chance to see them live, or to get their book/audio book "a history of heavy metal", I fully recommend it.
6:14 it's a doctor who reference (matt smith's doctor sometimes wore a fez, and david tennant's wore it once)
Still not over the fact that the name of Aziraphale's French teacher translates to Nightingale 😭😭😭
And uh, screaming at the two of them to talk to each other is probably the most commonly said thing this season 😅
I don't know if I'm ready to watch the finale reaction, even though I've seen it twice myself 😅
Oh of course! I'd not even thought to translate the name.. My French is not good enough to just know it.
@@ericamacs3875 I wouldn't have thought to either, good thing Tumblr and other youtube comments exist, cause that little detail hits so hard 😭
Only twice?
Aziraphale has never really _needed_ to be saved. He has needed to go on the dates he and Crowley have afterwards (although I don't think he expected Crowley in 1941).
the 26 seasons are old doctor who that came out between the 60s and 80s. Modern doctor who started in 2005 and is on season 14, still a lot but yeah. David is in season 2, 3 and 4, if you want to watch them. Although I recommend also watching the 1st season too, since some characters carry over, and its good to have the context. I also watched the first 4 seasons and then took a break from the show.
My (repeated) advice is not to skip Series One/2005/Eccleston.
I will say the GO fandom is one of the most welcoming I’ve ever come across. I love being a part of this fandom. And I’m so glad to have you a part of it as well! 💜
I really like the fact that aziraphale learned french (the language knew as the language of love) in the hard way. The way humans do. Just like he learned how to love in earth. I think it shows a lot of his character. And even being bad doing it and getting it wrong a lot of times, he's trying his best. And exatcly like he said to Crowley: "and even that way you understand me"
Aziraphale is immensely invested in things he’s learnt the hard way, like conjuring, dancing, and speaking French. Even though he seems to be a bit rubbish at most of them.
The attempts to figure out where Gabriel's memory went are sending me.
Ineffable (insufferable) husbands are my everything ❤
"I will come quietly" ----> "not according to the fanfictions" MORGAN!! I can't say I didnt hear it but...
INSUFFERABLE HUSBANDS OMG I LOVE IT
If you look closely at 16:51, on the board, you can see a heart with "C+A" inside it 🥰🥰🥰
😮 what!! how did I not notice that 😅😅😅❤
@@noondarkly We're not the only ones shipping 🤣🤣
Aziraphale and Crowley making assumptions, omitting information, and generally not listening to each other is a huge issue lol. I love them so much, but their terrible communication skills drive me up the wall.
I agree though, I think Aziraphale throwing the ball was, in his heart, more for him and Crowley than for Nina and Maggie. And it's not like he didn't know what he was asking for when he asked Crowley for a dance. You could see the nervousness and giddiness in his face. I'm convinced it WOULD have been more romantic if Crowley's thoughts hadn't been preoccupied. Aziraphale thought they were safe in the shop, but Crowley knew they weren't and Az wasn't really listening.
Disposable Demon Eric is like Crowley, asking the important questions despite the risk.
Shax: I have a permit.
Crowley: But what about this fake thing?
Shax: Oh, no.
See how Crowley's fingers curl over Aziraphale's while they dance.
I must say, I love how your tie complements your highlights.
I love how you chose the correct "complements." (I'm weird.)
Neil Gaiman replied to me on Tumblr once- in his words, it's love. The Good Omens fandom is love.
Morgan, your reactions to GO have been my favourite, you are catching small details and do research and you are so invested in them it gives me the warmest feelings ❤ You react to the show with as much love as the makers of the show, Neil and the actors are putting into the show. It's the absolute best feeling to be part of the GO universe and your reactions bring back so many emotions from when I first watched it!
Now, onwards to episode 6. 🙊🙊🙊🤐
I love your repeating that part. The line reading of "just an angel." Voice drops lower, kind of strangled. "I know."
10:09 Rossignol means Nightingale in French.
I do think that as far as the ball goes, Aziraphale wasn't necessarily forcing them to feel things they didn't feel. He affected their clothes and the way they spoke and their ability to dance, and made it so they didn't find any of that odd, but I think as far as forced emotions go, the most he did was throw out a general aura of happiness and willingness to go along with the event. Nina says she knows she's upset but doesn't feel it, so I think he minimized any negative feelings, but he did say that he can't just miracle love, which is why they had to do the whole matchmaking thing in the first place. So while he's very heavily forcing the situation, I don't think he has the ability to make them feel a way that they don't, only to prevent their negative emotions from reaching them. Still an invasion of privacy and not a good thing to do, of course.
I think that's all kind of explained by the end as well. It's the naivety of both Crowley and Aziraphale to think you can make people fall in love. And the fact they had that conversation in the pub, with Crowley thinking it's like in a film, and Aziraphale thinking it's like Jane Austen.
I don't think it's sinister at all, they're being sweet, but it all plays out really well.
A little help from a french fan : Aziraphale said :
8:00 hello Justine !
8:02 Excuse me
8:20 Excellent !
8:55 ...i have a shop keepers meeting association in my book shop...
9:10 Goodbye !
51:00 this episode broke your brain but the next will break your heart 🥰
I am so here for your pauses, rambles, and rewatched! Don’t ever apologize.
Everyone, let's hope and pray for Morgan's tear ducts for the next episode. It's gonna be a doozie, Noah's got nothing on it...
She would need everything she can get. Let’s be honest. And i’m SOOOOOOO in for it
@@ladyv5052 *they
I'm more of a silent viewer and I don't really comment often, but I absolutely love how invested you get with Crowley and Aziraphale. Also, I'd love to know where you got Crowley's Glasses from at the beginning of the video? I've been looking for a pair myself ahaha.
Thought I might be able to help you out :3 I think Morgan talked about the glasses in their recent channel update stream saying they got the crowley glasses from amazon! Morgan also mentioned that the glasses had this thing over the lenses that they removed to make it more screen accurate.. (I ordered the same once and did that too, I also glued some very small magnets onto the lenses to give it that crowley look) hope this helps ~
Me too I love the reactions
@@timeywimeyfezzes oh thank you so much this is very helpful! I'll have a look!
I was gonna respond but someone already has. If you look up “crowley glasses” on amazon the glasses will pop up (they have an extra bar like timey said so you’ll have to dremel it off)
@@Morgan_Reacts I just ordered a pair for myself, thank you for the help from the both of you!
I don't think Aziraphale made anybody feel things they didn't otherwise. I saw it more like he put an Instagram filter over reality. He changed the parameters of acceptable behaviour through which desires are expressed?
The seamstress thing is a Terry Pratchett reference. In his Discworld novels, the largest city has a guild of sex workers referred to as the Guild of Seamstresses. Like here, they are represented in the Discworld as pillars of the local business community. Sympathetic portrayals of sex workers are a rare but consistent feature of Terry Pratchett's Discworld stories.
Seriously re-watching the 1793 scene in S.1E.3 hits differently after "rescuing me makes him so happy".
He literally says he can't "do a miracle and go home" because he was reprimanded for doing "too many frivolous miracles".
But then DO A FRIVOLOUS MIRACLE to change his clothes and go eat crêpes with Crowley.
So Crowley came to his recue in 1793 - but Aziraphale risked getting beheaded just because he wanted to have a date with him?!
He may have realized he was in love in 1941, but man did it start waaaayyyy before that lol
Ps: you're my absolute favorite Good Omens reactor. I feel like I'm watching it for the first time again with you. Thank you so much 💕💕 I will be so sad when you're done watching it.
(And we're in the same asexual club 🏳️🌈)
Ps2: my mother tongue is French amd Aziraphale is not that bad. I understood everything he said to Justine with no difficulty whatsoever. But, strangely enough, I couldn't understand AT ALL what he said to Crowley, at first. So Crowley saying he understood Aziraphale "only because of the 250 years you're been wittering on about the plume of your imaginary tante" is even funnier.
Yeah Crowley's eyes become more snake like the more stressed he is. That's why in season 1 in his burning bently his eyes were so snakey...
One week till they watch the final and we get into trouble for not stopping them
They've already watched it. It's on Patreon.
@@Aetheria60 A????????
I could be wrong and it might be historically accurate, but 'seamstress' is used by Sir Terry Pratchett in the Discworld stories and it's absolutely a nod to his books where the term is used quite often, often with hilarious implications such as a young woman coming to find work as a seamstress or when men actually need a seamstress but knock on the door of a seamstress.
Definitely a reference to the guild of seamstresses from Discworld. And no we are not partial to a tuppenny upright. 😂
"Seamstress" is a reference to Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. In the Ankh-Morpork series, the "Seamstresses' Guild" is the euphemistic term for the local prostitutes' union, and he used a lot of puns and references to "Men who would like their socks darned" popping into "see the Seamstresses" as a tongue in cheek way of talking about men going to the brothels.
You dont need to watch 26 seasons, start with the first reboot, not the 2024 one, the 2000's one
It's all one continuity but the 2005 revival is the best choice to start.
Yes. Do not skip Eccleston.
Where can we see that?
Crowley is like
Your so dumb, and that’s why i love you
26:36 oh morgan you would have HATED all the responses we got from Neil Gaiman when we asked stuff bout season 2 lol T-T (not all but a good chunk)
Oh god Morgan, these next few episodes are gonna be hilarious for us 😂 I can't wait
This season had me climbing up MOUNDS of theories and metas on Tumblr!
One thing I learned: the length of Crowley's sideburns changed near constantly in Season 2. One second they look the same length as Season 1 and then BOOM they're super long and the snake tattoo is hanging around near his jawbone!
Another little bit of trivia is that...Michael Sheen apparently knows the entire story because Neil Gaiman told him and...I WANT SEASON 3 AAAAAAHHHHH
as a good omens fan since the first season first aired im absolutely loving your reactions morgan! cant wait till s3 comes out! 😃
I get your feelings towards everything...This episode was so TENSE
And Aziraphale is 100% longing for Crowley. He has been longing for sooooo loooong and you can see him hyping himself up to ask Crowley to dance and Crowley was too nervous about this whole situation.
44:46 fyi... THAT edit exists sowewhere on tiktok.
I have seen it... with S*C*E*N*E*S form episode 6...
The Fez, as you must know, is a crucial part of the Doctor Who plot. Spanning roughly 7 seasons, that particular head wear was a key plot device.
"Not acording to the fanfictions!!" is crraaazzyy 💀
Morgan you look like you could be their kid-❤
This is one of the greatest compliments I have ever received. Thank you 😭💜
I've watched quite a few reactions of this show and yours have been one of my favorites! How into it you are gets me SO happy, you have no idea.
Morgan being so fucking dapper, oh my Lord!!
😭🙏
I think we all need to be ready to give Morgan a long-distance, internet hug next week
The demon your calling out for discorporating isnt a singular one, there are multiples with the same apearance.
You can remember that in the scene with Hastur in s1, where three of the same demons explain the plan to Hastur
EXACTLY! There is a line in the Bible where a demon says they are "legion." Eric, the disposable demon, is Neil's interpretation of a demon being "legion" or many.
And the actor was so excited after S1 to discover that Eric has actual "fans" and stars in fan fictions. He said it was the first time he's played a character that invoked that type of a response and he was touched.
I never comment, but I love your reactions so much!! The way you really take your time to give us your fillings about characters and scenes, it’s always to interesting!!
Aziraphale mentioned taking french classes with monsieur Rossignol. Rossignol means nightingale in french... they're killing me, man
Who’s ready for Morgan’s reaction to the finale? I am! 😂😂😂
I love watching you watch Good Omens! You may actually love the characters more than I do. In case you don't already know, David and Michael starred in Staged together: 3 seasons on TH-cam.. I also heard a rumor that they will be guest starrring as a couple in Only Murders in the Building next season.
Im glad this episode raised your hopes up for the finale cuz its certainly worth it in the end. Cant wait for your reaction on the next episode♡!
I am so happy this show makes you happy.
The miracle was around Gabriel, not Gabriel's location.
"Wait and see" is what Neil Gaiman said when people wanted spoilers for season two.
So yes, the miracle was performed on Gabriel himself. It has a pretty similar effect as the one Adam had on him since birth in that suspicion or curiosity about “Jim” slides off him like water off a duck as Crowley would say. They made him completely uninteresting and forgettable.
After you finish this season you should read “The Magic Trick You Did Not See”. It’s an analysis of the season and posits a lot of ideas about what Neil could be leading up to in season 3, and I found it very interesting and realized a lot of little details that I wouldn’t have otherwise
Where is that? Tumblr?
Hmm. That point about Azariphale wanting to do this since 1941 but couldn't because they are on opposite sides is interesting. What if they weren't on opposite sides?
when crowley gets more mean and unhuman his eyes get more snakey, thats why when hes with azi all the time they almost always look human
There are a lot of male Lindsays in America too (and presumably nonbinary ones), but I think you're pretty much free to imagine whatever you choose.
Neil Gaiman said he named Nina's partner Lindsay because it could be a man's or a woman's name. He left it up to the viewer to interpret.
@@briceysweeney81 Exactly.
Aziraphale studied French with Professor Rossignol. Rossingnol means nightingale in French, by the way. Probably just a coincidence.
Thecnically Doctor Who has 13 Seasons (The 14th is airing this year) which is the Modern/Revived one, but last few seasons were not very prodative in episode count( usually its aroud 12ish those ones were way below) thanks to Covid. The 23 Seasons are the Classic Who which ran from 1963-1989 before being cancelled. Little Who-history for you all.😊
Also was the Fez David's idea or was it in the script? (I was like, no matter what universe he's in he just IS The Doctor)
Fezzes are cool.
Que Amy and River casually blasting it to smitheriens. I love that screne (and River in general), but poor 11.😢
@MorganTerry You don't need to watch the whole show, you just need to watch the first four seasons (I don't know how many episodes are in that) if you want to watch it because of David Tennant. It is one contained arc (I know David isn't in season one, but it's like 12 episodes, but its important because its sets the important elements of the show). I would love if you reacted to it. - Last night I finished the Season 2 finale and lets just say I wanted to scream so badly, but it was 10Pm and I didn't want to wake my mom up. So the next best thing: Sitting on my bed and bawling my eyes out.
I personally feel that Aziraphale's "He likes saving me" is a delusion on his part. What he's doing is causing problems for Crowley to fix, and because Crowley likes Az, he saves him without complaint, but it's still a trouble on Crowley's part. I missed the miracle on Maggie and Nina on my first watch, but it really solidifies Aziraphale's selfishness. That's been really apparent this season, and Maggie and Nina's relationship has reflected that. Crowley is Maggie, "not afraid of hard work" and willing to wait for Az to break up with his toxic relationship (Heaven)
But Az isn't at that stage yet.
I don't know, I think Crowley does quite like saving Aziraphale. Maybe in THIS particular instance (and admittedly the bullet catch in 1941, though Az goes a long way to making up for it by stealing the photo), it's too much and causes an excessive amount of stress. But I think in general, the arrangement they have works because Crowley likes playing hero and Aziraphale like playing damsel. I've always interpreted it as a form of intimacy for them. Many of the times Crowley rushes in to save Aziraphale are not even situations Aziraphale NEEDS saving from, and they both know it.
If you think about it, it also makes sense for Crowley to like saving Aziraphale because underneath it all, he seeks a sense of purpose, and Aziraphale is the only one in the world who actually has faith in him. He may hate being called "nice" or "good," but Aziraphale trusts him to take the lead and that is priceless.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 completely agree. Aziraphale can look after himself. He's never overly bothered in any of these, he just grumbles about paperwork, that's it. He's always delighted to see Crowley, but would be fine without him.
@@ericamacs3875 Yeah, and to be fair, it's not like Aziraphale is constantly purposefully creating big problems for Crowley to fix. For instance, the Bastille scene (if you want to interpret that Az was hoping Crowley would show up) was relatively low stakes, and the coat stains were a very minor inconvenience. And what happened in 1941 was bad, but it also CLEARLY wasn't an issue Aziraphale intended to cause. Meanwhile, in present day season 2, Aziraphale was just genuinely doing what he believed was right, and he wanted Crowley to stand beside him. Like, he's never been out here trying to make Crowley's life harder.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 yes. I think in the Bastille and in 1941 he is genuinely surprised. He just thinks oh well there will be paperwork to do.
Aziraphale is not listening to Crowley during the ball? Oh good luck for 6th episode 😂😂
Yeah, Aziraphale is really putting the Eldritch in Angel in this episode, with the weird control.
I do believe he couldn't properly affect Nina's mind, though, she was calling out how weird it was all the time. So it's not that they're entirely under control, just... A little.
Crowley making up that rule is something David Tennant's Doctor would also do lol
and speaking of Doctor Who (and I'm only saying this because I know you've watched the next episode already so it won't be spoilers), I just want to say - it's bigger on the inside :D
I really did enjoy your reaction to the episode though, this isn't just a thinly veiled urging you to watch DW lol. I think the dance had everyone's hopes up tbh. also can't believe I forgot about the "I'll come quietly" line until now but your reaction was absolute gold XD
Oh I'm excited for your reaction to the last episode~~ I made my friend watch the entire show recently and his reaction to it was "and you didnt tell me?!" XD
I don't think Aziraphale was willfully ignoring Crowley, I think he wasn't paying attention because he was psyching himself up to ask him to dance. He wasn't listening because he was nervous, not because he didn't want to hear what Crowley had to say
I literally CANNOT wait for the next episode. Like... AAAHHH!!! 😆😆
That "I won't leave you on your own" after he said "you're on your own for this one" in episode 1 just kills me
