I admit this scene left me so confused at first. Why does Crowley get so angry at Aziraphale and why does Aziraphale reject him when he clearly doesn’t want to. But as you suggested (I think), Crowley does intentionally provoke Aziraphale. He calls out heaven with quite a mouthful of curse words. And when he doesn’t get his way he walks off (more than once) leaving Aziraphale alone to regret the words he has just spoken to Crowley. Crowley has put him into these situations more than once and calls him stupid for hoping (against all odds) that heaven will listen. Crowley has been cast out from heaven and has cut himself off from hell. He was no respect for either (and rightfully so). Aziraphale isn’t there yet and I do partially blame Crowley for expecting him to be. But it’s easy for us to empathize with Crowley since as humans we are not of heaven or hell. And I don’t know what Crowley expects from Aziraphale by telling him he should kill the Antichrist who is after all a child. So of course Aziraphale is angry but immediately regrets it. So basically, Crowley gets angry trying to get him to see things from his perspective and Aziraphale rejects him. But the sorrow he feels is always immediate. This plays out many times. So I think you are correct. This is the scene that demonstrates everything that they are and want to be to each other in spite of the roadblocks they find themselves faced with. And I agree wholeheartedly all the talent and chemistry they have as actors. I have to remind myself frequently that they are actors doing their jobs but they do it so masterfully that I can’t help but react as if all of it is so intensely real.
This scene makes me fill up. They want and need each other SO much, but Azi's religious trauma just tears them apart every time. This scene, the next one and the final fifteen of season 2 are all repeats of the same argument. 💔
They both have so so much trauma. And they both love each other so much. I cant wait to see how they both start healing from it.❤❤
The bandstand scene is really touching, and for the first time I think, Crowley talks to Aziraphale about the third way: not hell, not heaven, but simply being themselves, rejecting a war that they do not feel like their own, having the courage not to take side. Crowley has always been in search of his own identity by following his thoughts, Azi is still quite tied to his dogmas. But we have faith in him.

While Aziraphale is insisting that he's the "nice one" and does not have to kill the "boy," he is completely missing the much more dire situation that Crowley finds himself in. Crowley is already about to be destroyed by hell as soon as hell figures out that he "lost" the antichrist. Even if he had not lost him, Crowley was playing very close to the line. Crowley has gone out of his way through the raising of the child to provide himself with plausible deniability about his role in a failed Armageddon, teaching the child about evil and destroying the world, hoping that Aziraphale's influence will stop the child from becoming totally evil. Crowley cannot kill the antichrist without expecting torture and death as hell's revenge.
Such a good video please make more
This is a very insightful breakdown of the bandstand conversation! Crowley seems to be getting fed up with Heaven’s bureaucrats (and Hell’s) while Aziraphale has inklings of doubts, but is more trusting of his Heavenly colleagues. Angel & Demon are never quite in sync with each other, but are s-l-o-w-l-y realizing they are not in favor of the great plan.
Lovely video, I appreciate how you highlight all the important beats in this scene. It’s heart-rending to watch them tear apart. And we’ve lived thru that again in S2💔
What a wonderful collection of images and ideas about a show I absolutely love! Thank you!
Really lovely work. Well done.
I almost cried watching this video until the end, when we watched the series quickly we couldn't evaluate the scenes like that, thank you for sharing your thoughts 🩵
Iam always by crowleys side azi have heart him more than ones. Azi doesn't know that God play games with uninivers
Aziraphale knows Crowley will always come back because he always does. After Crowley is dragged to hell and probably tortured for years, he comes back. He saves Elsbeth because of what happens after Aziraphale manipulates her. Aziraphale is supposed to provide her with the choices and not take them away from her. Crowley and not Aziraphale saves Elsbeth, and Crowley suffers for this. Aziraphale could save her as he is the good one, but he doesn't. He is still learning about humanity, and Crowley wants him to.Crowley still goes back to Aziraphale, knowing it will happen again.
Such a good video
