Yes he was wrong, and yes he needs to do that dance, but damn Metatron with his manipulations gonna get it, I'm so furious at him! It'll take a miracle for Crowley to not attack him in some way, if he learns about all that shit he said and thus did to Aziraphale.
@@jparrish6360 honestly I feel like even those of us who aren’t great with social cues would look at Crowley and go “oh he’s not interested in anyone except Aziraphale”
It was not just one. Throughout the entire season there were tiny tiny little subtle Doctor Who references scattered all over. I was loving all of them! Also, yes you can definitely tell David Tennant was having a blast. I'm pretty sure Martin scene was as well!
There’s a Staged reference too, I’m talking about when Crowley says Aziraphale says or does things that are unintentionally funny. David says the same of Michael in Staged 😍
@@victoria7t Subtle? They literally had Aziriphale give away a Doctor Who annual followed by Crowley going "wtf man." Then the bigger on the inside fly.
Ok but hear me out; the reason Crowley thinks that taking shelter together from an unexpected shower is SO romantic is because that's THEIR THING (albeit the sheltering was with their wings, and one of those times it was a meteor shower instead of rain, but STILL)
Okay but in all seriousness David’s acting was so incredibly good, the line delivery in that scene, the way he had to stop in middle of a sentence IT WAS SO BRILLIANT but also heartbreaking 😭
my man decided to give an absolute masterclass in this episode, not a single acting choice was ordinary, just perfection i think i'm too old to say that he put his whole tennussy in this season, but he did
I've never cried for any work of fiction before and I'll admit I actually had tears in my eyes. Dammit that scene was fucking gold. Hats off to David and Michael.
Same I never ever cried at shows, man I used to think it's silly and I braced myself for the ending becuase I knew it wouldn't be "happy" but still when he kissed him my heart just stopped, I held my breath the entire time and then it happend and I screamed and cried
@@matildeyamamoto9363 im sure at the end of ep 4 mine will probs say that too, but its just so funny that my mom has a gaydar even tho she isnt lgbtq+, shes done this with a lot of characters that have been headcanoned as gay lmao
@@sailorjess2893Neil Gaiman is the head writer of the show and one of the co-authors of the OG book, along w/ terry prachett who unfortunately passed away before this show was realized. So basically when people say this it’s bc they are grieving over how heartbreaking **that** scene was and “threatening” him (not really, it’s all jokes). Anyway welcome to the club, we have snacks :D
Oh man you couldn't put the whole kiss in here, but Michael's acting during that was so brilliant. Starts with eyes open, arms stiff, scared of what's happening and how he feels. Then eyes closed, tentatively embracing Crowley, then back to panic mode. Someone else said it already but poor Aziraphale can't get over the baseline idea that Crowley, as a demon, is simply off limits as a significant other. Which is why when Crowley has asked him repeatedly to go away together Aziraphale can't. But if he was an angel too, that would fix everything. You can see the yearning. But also the dichotomy of the angel showing restraint while the demon has made it very clear what he wants and ultimately resorts to extreme measures to try to get Aziraphale to realize 1) they both want the same thing, and 2) it's totally okay for them to get to be happy regardless of their jobs... this whole scene just hurts. You can feel Crowley's desperation to not lose Aziraphale to heaven as he knows it's abusive, even said both heaven and hell are toxic, and i think that is why he kissed him. He's been content to play the long game for so many thousands of years, but now there are real stakes and he was desperate to stop what was coming. How long do we have to wait for season 3? Cuz i need it right now. That whole credits scene with Crowley driving and Aziraphale ascending in the elevator was gut-wrenching.
With Aziraphale, what most people done realise is that if you hate on him you’re just misunderstanding his character. He loves Crowley but is still loyal to the job he’s had for almost 6,000 years- it wasn’t a hard choice for him seeing as he’s been offered to bring Crowley too… as an angel but he IS an angel in Aziraphale’s eyes anyway. Crowley making his speech just confused and scared him, gave him a different altogether scary choice to think about, one that’s only really been a realistic option for not even 4 years. It threw his whole plan off, but in the end he’s still loyal to his job, and is doing what he genuinely thought was best. He thought that if he could make a difference in heaven Crowley would eventually join him, or he could make it better for everyone. Aziraphale is just misunderstood.
I know, it genuinely upsets me that people are trying to believe the Metatron slipped Aziraphale something in the coffee. The way he acted is so like him it's not even funny. When the scene happened you can tell by the way he moved his hands that he's uncertain as to how he should act when Crowley kissed him and that's what culminates into the "I forgive you." He even tries to give himself some time to try and change his mind, due to the evidence of Gabriel and Beelzebub who were able to run away together. But when he's told Muriel will take over the shop there is no reason to stay, obviously Crowley is there but that means he has to completely abandon what he's worked for his entire life. He wants to fix the corporate system of heaven and makes things less linear but that is not going to happen how he wants it to. I saw someone make a very great analogy, Aziraphale is like an abused child who has been pushed aside so many times by his authority figures that the moment they give him affection and praise he has no other choice but to believe that they finally care about him when they don't. Edit: Just something to add, I've seen some people on TikTok arguing that Aziraphale doesn't even like coffee, but I've just started reading the book and it says that he enjoys tea, cocoa, and coffee. Not to say that everything in the book is canon to the show but it's just something to note about his character.
aziraphale loves crowley so damn much, but his version of love is warped by heaven's influence. To him, working with crowley by his side and repairing Heaven IS true love - it's the only way he can manage to show love at this moment. He's been conditioned into thinking only angels can be good, and of course he thinks Crowley is a good person, so to balance out those two contrasting ideas in his mind, he comes to the conclusion that of COURSE Crowley would want to be an angel again, because aren't angels the good ones? It's a tragic love story
if this was in reference to my “i hate you comment” can i just say that i didnt mean to be taken as a literal i hate you towards him, just emotional hurt at how the scene went down. i do think it makes sense for the character and i love him dearly
Azi is actually doing this whole thing for Crowley. Aziraphale doesn't really want to make changes or even suggest any. That's completely inappropriate to the angel, not his place etc. But when they met, Crowley wanted to make changes to the grand plan. And now that Azi got the chance, he's going to take it. The poor guy wouldn't even know what exactly needs change. But he's going to do it for his friend's (read: lover's)sake.
For 1793, I think it was when Aziraphale just went to Paris during the French Revolution for crepes. For 1941, probably cuz the whole fiasco of getting himself in danger twice (almost died by Nazi spies & deadly bullet magic) 😅
In 1650 there were civil wars going on in both France (the Fronde) and Great Britain (Cromwell) and the volcano on Santorini blew up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1650
Stop that. Seriously. It's not even funny. It reactions like this that are toxic and are making the fandom worse for it. Of course, we'll get a happy ending. Haven't you ever read a well-written, 3 act story? A 2nd act needs it's lowest point to earn the 3rd act's highs. A good romance needs stakes and heartbreak, and even better if their parted for believable personal reasons and are not strictly circumstancial or just being over misunderstanding. The moral of Good Omens has always been, "We must reach out to one another." The 3rd season will drive that home. Stop being part of the worst of the fandom and leave Neil alone. It's not even finished, and we won't get that 3rd season if we don't support it and everyone involved, especially Neil.
'tis not a divorce! 'tis only an ineffable, temporary separation! Until Crowley storms Heaven to rescue his Aziraphale after the latter realises he's been a colossal arse! My take for Season 3 anyway, meantime, I'm surviving on fix it fan fics and luverly videos like this.
@@Spar_row_ I am utterly gutted as well, sobs. Hope some of these fix it fics on AO3 helps ye somewhat.

@@veeshoe TYSM Also I heard some people say it'll be 3 years and I am absolutely DEVASTATED at that news no way in heaven or hell will I be able to calmly sit on this ending for 3 years (also that means I'll be a legal adult by then EVEN MORE CRAZY) ao3 is my lifeblood and I am forever grateful to anyone who writes fluffy fanfictions abt them they will absolutely pull the whole fandom through the next few years
@@Spar_row_ Neil Gaiman has more or less said that as well, likely S3 will come around in early '26, if they start shooting it next year, so yeah, we have to endure about 3 years of quiet crying 🥺 BUT that's providing the ongoing strike reaches a resolution soon. If not, all would be moot 😮💨 You and I might be approaching geriatric age when S3 does begin production.

@@veeshoe LMAO real, but I also hope that these strikes go somewhere soon, cmon prime (and other companies) just pay your writers for their work!!! I wanna get my friends into go so bad istg I've loved this show for YEARS I've probably watched S1 abt 10 times I can't deal with all this waitingg (P.s. I love your style of talking/writing it's very fun lol)
I'm not, I love that perfect imperfect angel and I love that ending, it felt very natural and in character, I would be more upset if it was a happy ending, they're not ready yet.
Had to do a double take at this comment, because over here him being Scottish irl, but doing a London accent, means he was always "Southern David Tennant" in this. And then I remembered America exists.
Aziraphale being bitchy about Crowley baby talking the Bentley is so funny bc you can either read it as "bro you were literally chatting with the car the whole trip" or "Aziraphale is humoring him because he's convinced the Bentley likes him better"
I like the latter so much because like, she didn’t accelerate her speed even Azi pressed the pedal bc she knows Azi doesn’t like it fast. And then she wanted to follow Azi after he parked her🤣 They pampered each other through the whole trip
as much as I'm depressed because of the ending as the next person is, I will not tolerate Zira slander- the character conflict was BEAUTIFULLY done! It makes complete sense for his character to refuse Crowley and go to Heaven. This doesn't mean he rejected Crowley or even meant to hurt him. He loves Earth just as much as Crowley does - that is the reason for him leaving. He wants Earth and Crowley to be safe and happy. He wants to make Heaven BETTER (arguably for Crowley, because he remembers how happy he was as an angel). He believes he's doing the right thing. Although misguided, he' s actually trying to act selfless, putting aside his personal feelings to work towards a good cause. I think people calling him an idiot is completely uncalled for. He's been abused by Heaven for ages and now its extending him, as he sees it, a helping hand. Metatron has treated Zira with more kindness than any Heaven official. He given a reason to think that there was a way to change things. At least this is my take away from this. Although the coffee theory is still completely on the table for me xD
The Metatron isn't kind he's manipulative, he pushed Aziraphale aside so many times and finally gave him affection in order to manipulate him into supporting the vote for the apocalypse. You can tell by the fact that Aziraphale tried to change his mind about his choice but the Metatron didn't even give him a chance to think about Crowley, that was the whole point of why he was there in the first place. It's all manipulation.
agreed!! if this was in reference to my “i hate u” comment just know it wasn’t meant seriously, purely emotional hurt abt how the scene went down. i love him & understand his reasoning, although i DO think he’s being naive.
@@smilesedgeworth7143 I must've read your writing wrong I apologize, my mistake. Yep re-read it, I assume I focused on the end of what your were saying rather than what you'd said before lol.
Yes, it was definitely something Aziraphael would do! Especially after Metatron’s „we are the nice, good guys!” play. I think that Crowley is better at seeing how complicated things can be, but it also made him cynical. Aziraphael is still hopeful and willing to make the world a better place. From Aziraphael perspective Crowley had left him as much as he had left Crowley. And I am sure, that he has wanted to go back to Crowley, but „second coming” part made him go.
For the final scene, when Aziraphale interrupted Crowley, that shit upset me so bad. I understand it, having something so exciting that you can't even hold it in, but knowing that things could have been a little different if Crowley actually got to go first... On top of that, they spent the whole season talking over each other and not listening to each other, and look where that got them. Also, I would love to commend the acting for that scene. They played their roles well, and told the story well. I could feel the anxiety of Crowley speaking his truth for the first time, and the fear trying to make him stop, and his second guessing himself. Especially the "And I would like to spend---" followed by that frustrated growl as he struggles to get the words out. David played it out so well.
As much as I hate the ending, it is perfectly written and Neil did give us the kiss. Btw David’s performance is amazing in this series, kinda centred the show.
I think the grave-digging "mini-sode" sets up A's reaction to Crowley's proposal at the end. Aziraphale isn't able (yet) to empathize with human suffering as much as Crowley or connect with his own or others' emotions, because he's focused much more on how his and others' actions measure up to a rigid code. He's loving, but he can be judgemental and a little cold because he never pays attention to his own wants/desires--he's been taught they don't matter to anyone--so it is hard for him to connect emotionally in terms of communicating about deep, intense emotions. He's never cruel, but the fact that he blames this poor young, starving woman for doing something distasteful to survive, ignoring her pain and oppression, is a little disturbing--but it makes sense in thinking how he's been treated and taught to treat others.
I watched Good Omens with my mother (lol) and she made a comment on how Aziraphale is a good professional and can do his job alone (I didn't agree aka 1941) but is Crowley that brings the voice of reason to understand the human nature and as well its pain. So without Crowley he can't do the actually good thing. They need one another to do the right thing.
Yes! Aziraphale biggest problem is that he can't stop his holier-than-thou mindset, especially in front of this demon. He wants attention for goodly acts and is still using Heaven's twisted sense of morality. He and Crowley remind me of people who struggled with high demand religions. Crowley got out and, rightfully, resents it. Aziraphale slipped back in after being told what he wanted to hear and that it would be better this time. To Aziraphale, rejecting angel-hood might even look like proof that Crowley really is a sinful serpent that is turning away from true goodness. But Crowley actions have demonstrated that for all his demonic snarling and naughty behavior, he's a genuinely good person.
The last scene shattered my heart into millions of pieces. I'm still not over the pain I felt. I'm desperately looking for a happy ending for them in Season 3. Is it too early to ask for this? Whatever! I want that.
I totally understand you! My heart feels so empty that I am relying on these videos to even feel the slightest love they have for each other Just cannot wait for season 3
One of my favourite moments in this season is when they are in the pub and Aziraphale says “She had balls” Crowley: “Well..” Aziraphale: “Cotillion ball” Then you can hear Crowley in the background go “oh”
PAAAAAIIIIINNNNNN that's all that describes my entire existence since I watched the last 10 minutes of the GO2. i'm currently writing a fic where they two will be safe and together after all. I~ I CAN'T MY HEART WAS BROKEN
Michael's acting this entire season was just WOW. We got to see so much enthusiasm, heart eyes, heartbreak, and microexpressions... what a TREAT. Hats off to the boys because that ending (though it had me digging my grave for a solid three days after seeing it) held so much gravitas and emotion I CAN'T wait to see what Neil has up his sleeve. BLESS EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THIS SERIES 🙏 Definitely worth the 4 year wait.
Watched the final episode at 1am and I was so wired I didn't sleep for HOURS. That ending had me climbing the walls and eating the drywall. The acting... Fuck me up. With all this being said, I am going to be a quivering mess until season 3 is announced.
as much as i broken cause of ending as much i also feel cozy, the whole season, all flashbacks and kiss gave me sm joy, ep3 is actually my favourite cause of how silly and sweet and comfy it is i love s1 and book but s2 focusing mostly on ineffable husbands without pararel plots(we have those in this season but we in london all the time, no other towns and forests and whatever, characters all there on this street where azi bookshop is) is actually what i really needed. they're in their sweetest there and i love love love it sm
I absolutely agree. It's still a great season that focused mainly on them. And we can't forget that we finally got the kiss. It's a love story and no one can ever deny that now. I mean I was always sure but rewatching season 1 now hits different because I know it's about love.
11:02 completely agree Michael Sheen blew it out of the water (he was so great the entire season but those final fifteen? no words). That second you see him switching from the wracking devastation to deciding to say the most hurtful thing to Crowley because he is in pain is just uuuuuuugggggh chef's kiss indeed
Yeah, I absolutely loved that. It's a striking moment because it's usually not in his nature to be spiteful. And yet it makes perfect sense when you figure he likely perceives Crowley's rejection of Heaven as a rejection of HIM. He's already shut down and resigned himself to that, and then Crowley goes and kisses him unprompted, making him feel vulnerable and confused, and he hates that. I think his, "I forgive you," is essentially him saying, "Eff off," in the most hurtful way he can think of. And Michael Sheen conveys all of that so beautifully in just the span of a few seconds.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 Totally! While I'd say Aziraphale definitely has a petty streak, I agree he's usually not hurtful with his spite (though that one French revolutionary/executioner might disagree lol). And the kiss as a follow-up to that rejection has to hurt him double because for him, it might also seem like a last-ditch attempt from Crowley not to say "Please stay with ME - I love you and I want us to stay together" but to try and keep him from taking the deal as in "You said you need me, you like me, and if you love me enough, you'll reject Heaven right now instead of going". There's just so many misunderstandings going on between the two of them and they're so naturally ingrained into their respective personalities/world views. That minute or so Aziraphale stands alone in the bookshop and touches his lips, and then moves to wipe them? Heartbreaking. Deserves all the acting awards. You can see the at least twelve different conflicts running through his mind. The way he immediately turns to wipe a tear when he notices the Metatron entering? Shattering. I am unwell just thinking about it.
@@howlingnerdwolf6971 Yeah, I agree, the breakdown in communication between them is so sad, especially coming right on the heels of Maggie and Nina enlightening Crowley about the fact that they never truly talk to each other. They talk plenty in this scene, but they're both so stuck in their own feelings about the situation that they don't listen to each other or try to understand where the other is coming from. They love each other but have completely different ideas about what happiness looks like. David Tennant and Michael Sheen do the humor on this show so well, but dang, they can pull out the angst when necessary, too.
i’ve been desperately trying to figure out why he said “i forgive you” of all things since i saw this scene (i just straight up didn’t understand where it was coming from) and this is such a good interpretation!!
The entire laudanum sequence was hilarious! A drunk Crowley is always even sillier (and way more Scottish) than regular Crowley, who is always goofy. He reminds me of a cat, where they always try to act dignified and serious, but that just makes the things they actually do even cuter and sillier.
I got together with some friends for a watch party and by the end of it we were all crying, most of us were yelling at the tv, and I was in a heap on the floor 🫠
@sagesstuff4761 No. Because Neil Gaiman himself has never denied that. Neil Gaiman in fact has state is a cryptic they could be. This was back in season 1 and even before he was cryptic about it. Study other things he has had his hands into. He is very open-minded about the fluidity of sexuality.
@@victoria7tI have read the book, but like… as someone who went through hell as a queer kid in the 90s, who had so little representation and grew up with the horror of AIDS hammered into my head, who almost got expelled from school for questioning my sexuality, I feel like it’s important that somebody knows that having it confirmed to be romantic love is *earth-shattering*
@bigjedimullet I am pansexual. Not very kind of you to assume that I don't understand this either and I am not on your same side with this. I was born in the 60s and was a teenager in the 80s. I was also aware of what went on in the 90s. That is why I said what I said, Neil Gaiman has confirmed it as much as he's going to ever confirm it. They are not male humans but an angel and a demon. Sexuality is more fluid with them because in their world there is just pure equality there is no gay or bi or pan sexual or anything like that anybody can be in love with anybody because technically there's no gender either. Neil has actually stated this is indeed above story. He's openly stated that. However it is above story between the angel and a demon with no defined gender by human standards. That is why in season two you see who appears to be a female playing Michael because they are genderless there's pure equality there. This is just one example of what I'm talking about but he's been asked this on Twitter and he's responded and he's been interviewed in the past before and he's always stuck to saying is that exactly what he says in this article. After all isn't that what all of us would love to see in this world? A world where gender and sexual orientation don't matter as much as they seem to now and as they did back in the nineties and eighties and 70s and 60s? You think you had it tough going to the 90s as a gay person? You need to thank myself and my generation because Saints to us you had it easier. I went to the 80s AIDS crisis. I was alive when Stonewall happened. I would have given all that stuff for the hardship you went through the night he's in the blink of an eye. It's because of what we went through in the eighties and Beyond that you didn't have it any harder in the nineties then what you did have to go through. www.digitalspy.com/tv/a30514224/good-omens-neil-gaiman-gay-lgbtq-asexual-interview/
Ok but the weird part is I saw the kiss scene as a spoiler, and was ok with it even happy to know they kiss, then I saw the entire season and I BAWLED MY EYES OUT like why??? I knew the kiss was coming why did I sufffeeeerrr???
Man... this is just so sad. I literally just finished season 2 and I'm here for more, but ooooh this is so sad! David and Michael are brilliant actors, the way the tone of Crowley's voice changes when he's about to say what he wants is incredible
Azi being excited abt things like driving the bentley, putting that fur boa on, going to dance with crowley is so kdsgifaghfkuds ghjfasdgchjsfvdv HE IS BABYGIRL
I know reception to this season has been mixed, but as someone who loves character-focused narratives, I've been eating this up. Crowley and Aziraphale are both so complicated in different ways, and I think that while the ending does initially feel a bit jarring and out of nowhere, it completely makes sense for where they are in their relationship to both each other and themselves. And imo, the season does a great job of setting that up through the central mystery, as well as through the flashbacks of their history.
Okay, I totally think Aziraphale still thinks Crowley just wants to be friends. Crowley never said how he felt just that they should run off and be together. And Aziraphale would never assume that Crowley really meant he loves him. And Crowley just saying we could’ve been us, can mean friends forever like always. And then the kiss, Aziraphale just thinks that was Crowley just tempting him to stay and playing with his feelings. Which is why he forgave him. Remember, Nina and Maggie’s relationship mirrors theirs and Nina said she wasn’t Maggie’s type and Maggie realized Nina had no clue about her feelings and she had just assumed Nina knew. So, Aziraphale assumes Crowley knows about his feelings but could never return them. It’s the miss communication that fucks them.
No matter how many times I see the clip, the alarm going off in Heaven has me dying every time 😂😂 the comedic timing is everything and its so underrated
All I want is for Crowley to have a support system in s3. Like, when Zira comes (crawling) back to the bookshop, the street traders association & Gabe/Beelzebub & Muriel all have Crowley's back in their conflict bc they start to like this stupid demon. I don't want him holed up in his apartment feeling shitty, I want him to keep following the path towards emotional intelligence and I also want to make it everybody's problem
I think you're really on to something. Honestly, if Crowley is going to pick up some emotional intelligence, he probably NEEDS a support system. I think a bit part of Crowley's problem, and what makes season 2's ending so tragic from his end of things, is that he literally has no one else. Aziraphale has always kind of been waiting for an opportunity to be accepted back into Heaven I think, but Crowley is different. He's so fiercely protective of Aziraphale and the fragile existence they've carved out for themselves throughout the season because that's home to him. That's his everything. I feel like a big aspect of further growth and development for him NEEDS to be the realization that there's more worth living for. Because having your entire existence wrapped up in a single individual is heartbreaking and terrifying. I would know, for sure.
have y'all noticed also how crowley barely has his glasses on in this season, like at one point i asked my siblings if they saw his eyes as normal, and they were like "uhhh, no?"
Most wholesome thing imo: they both need to try and make Maggie and Nina fall in love so we see what they think is the most romantic thing. Which??? Crowley thinks getting caught in the rain and having to shelter together closely is the most romantic (WHAT THEY DID IN SEASON 1 EPISODE 1) and Aziraphale thinks a Pride and Prejudice style ball is the most romantic and ASKS CROWLEY TO DANCE?? Edit// Also this is unrelated but the glasses Crowley wears around the time of Job bug the shit out of me. They are so obviously just some circles glued onto regular modern day rectangular frames and it bugs the shit out of me
i need you to understand that your video of them in s1 is one of the main reasons i convinced my whole family to watch this show. this video is so vital
10:15-25: Remember how in s1e1 the narrator/God explains how much the two satanic nuns misunderstand the meanings behind each other's winks when they're switching the antichrist baby? I think the same level of misunderstanding is happening here. The two of them are so completely unused to discussing their feelings plainly (because they've had to hide them for millennia) that they cannot help but use coded language and they misunderstand each other's meaning. I think that when Crowley says, "You can't leave this bookshop", he MEANS, "You can't leave me. You don't want to leave me; please don't leave me! I can make you happy, and you won't be happy anywhere else." But Aziraphale HEARS "We've been happy here, and we've had fun here, and I don't want it to end." He doesn't realize Crowley's speaking of the shop as a symbol of their love. Meanwhile, when Aziraphale says, "Nothing lasts forever", he MEANS, "Yes, it's been fun here and we've been happy here, but now it's time to move on. This bookshop doesn't matter that much because I will love you no matter where we are. As long as we're together, we are home." But what Crowley HEARS is, "It's been fun having you as my closest confidant and companion and I care, but this closeness can't last forever."
Season 3 about the rapture. The angels split Aziraphel & Crowley up to manipulate Aziraphel into giving the swing vote for the rapture. They are going to use Crowley as leverage against Azirephel to force him to vote for it. Crowley is going to end up trying to pull his angel's halo out of heavens fire. My reaction for season 2, Azirephel NOOO!! WHY?? 😭💔 Crowley😭💔
10:59 Deep down in my heart, I know he was trying to say I love you but ultimately said I forgive you to show he does have compassion for him but can't really say it (and also from season 1, there was a whole thing in the pavilion argument about demons being unforgivable). I've always felt that it was his roundabout way of showing he truly cares, but using this roundabout was not the way to go.😭
Aziraphale is truly afraid to admit his love. Even when Gabriel/Jim told him that in a friendly way, he was unable to answer. And he panics when asked if he's ever felt like being with someone just makes sense, plus in the first season he was afraid to move forward with his relationship. Despite being very emotionally open unlike Crowley, he's very unsure on that aspect :'''
I just love the scene with Aziraphale thinking he's going to hell and Crowley teases but comforts him at the same...idk it's just so cute and wholesome 😊
8:19 the giggle gets me every time, it makes my heart clench its so cute 😭 its so soft and excited to be hosting a dance and having crowley dance with him omg
I’m sorry but the part where crowley is talking to jim and says “i swear if any harm comes to Aziraphale i will-“ is just so fucking cute to me like HES SO PROTECTIVE AND LOVES HIM SO MUCH AHHG
Aziraphale had better do the I was wrong dance in S3
can i pin this comment?😭

Yes he was wrong, and yes he needs to do that dance, but damn Metatron with his manipulations gonna get it, I'm so furious at him! It'll take a miracle for Crowley to not attack him in some way, if he learns about all that shit he said and thus did to Aziraphale.

‘You got a husband? A boy friend?’ She doesn’t even entertain the idea that he could be into women. Fantastic
She was just like: Your gay vibes are too powerful bro you listen to Queen
"The gaydar is too strong with this one..."

Not with the way he follows Aziraphale around like a lost puppy
@@jparrish6360 honestly I feel like even those of us who aren’t great with social cues would look at Crowley and go “oh he’s not interested in anyone except Aziraphale”
Aziraphale saying that yellow is pretty, knowing that it's the color of Crowley's eyes 😭😭💔💔
HOLY CRAP-
Headcanon accepted.
Omg stop😭😭😭
Omg it is they he that are ahhh
Wow I never thought about that!!
Such a nice catch
I’m dead!
I swear I'll die laughing if that Bentley starts being a rebellious teen because it's dads spilt up
I really love this, Crowley will just be driving the car and suddenly a travel sweet pops out at him, Bentley all angry
Like the TARDIS
He’s not gonna be able to control the music in it anymore and it’ll make him furious that he can’t threaten it the way he can threaten his plants

@@Hellodude-el1sp laughing!
Between the Doctor Who references and Scottish Crowley I can only imagine how much fun David Tennant was having this season.
It was not just one. Throughout the entire season there were tiny tiny little subtle Doctor Who references scattered all over. I was loving all of them! Also, yes you can definitely tell David Tennant was having a blast. I'm pretty sure Martin scene was as well!
Oh not to mention acting alongside his son and getting to troll him! Turning him into a lizard and acting annoyed af at him, must’ve been fun!
There’s a Staged reference too, I’m talking about when Crowley says Aziraphale says or does things that are unintentionally funny. David says the same of Michael in Staged 😍
@@victoria7t Subtle? They literally had Aziriphale give away a Doctor Who annual followed by Crowley going "wtf man." Then the bigger on the inside fly.

Bitch behaviour, entirely in character💅
That scene killed my heart. I don't read books, but imagine throwing ANCIENT objects on the floor 😭 I screamed so hard at that part.
Crowley's quivering, wavering voice at "that we aren't" (9:57) and the "and i would like to spend" breaks me everytime
Heaven took what he cared about away from him all over again.

realist thing I agreed with
Totally , wherever I go nowadays ,, I just totally cannot stop about them parting ways
Ok but hear me out; the reason Crowley thinks that taking shelter together from an unexpected shower is SO romantic is because that's THEIR THING (albeit the sheltering was with their wings, and one of those times it was a meteor shower instead of rain, but STILL)
It makes a lot of sense! I love it
Brilliant! You've connected the dots
Only they were never brave enough to really stare into each others eyes
Holy shit
He was projecting so hard i was cackling
He really wanted to kiss aziraphale in the rain i think
Okay but in all seriousness David’s acting was so incredibly good, the line delivery in that scene, the way he had to stop in middle of a sentence IT WAS SO BRILLIANT but also heartbreaking 😭
my man decided to give an absolute masterclass in this episode, not a single acting choice was ordinary, just perfection
i think i'm too old to say that he put his whole tennussy in this season, but he did
@@blancaherreroespana5035 lmao you’d be so correct he did put his whole tenussy into the acting it was perfect
um ator verdadeiramente perfeito
The fact that you don’t even need to specify which one proves it
Did anyone notice the fact that Aziraphale actually kind of leaned into the kiss by pressing his hand against Crowley’s back
I've never cried for any work of fiction before and I'll admit I actually had tears in my eyes. Dammit that scene was fucking gold. Hats off to David and Michael.
NO SERIOUSLY I'VE NEVER CRIED AT A SHOW MOVIE OR BOOK BEFORE AND I WAS PRACTICALLY ABOUT TO SOB MY EYES OUT AT THIS
I normally don't usually watch series, BUT WITH THIS ONE I CRIED MY EYES OUT
I have cried like there is no tomorrow...
I sobbed. Right after I screamed when they kissed.
Same I never ever cried at shows, man I used to think it's silly and I braced myself for the ending becuase I knew it wouldn't be "happy" but still when he kissed him my heart just stopped, I held my breath the entire time and then it happend and I screamed and cried
I WAS REWATCHING GOOD OMENS WITH MY MOM AND SHE WENT “ but deep down they love eachother “ WE WERENT EVEN DONE WITH EPISODE 3 OF SEASON 1

@@sailorjess2893Neil Gaiman is the head writer of the show and one of the co-authors of the OG book, along w/ terry prachett who unfortunately passed away before this show was realized.
So basically when people say this it’s bc they are grieving over how heartbreaking **that** scene was and “threatening” him (not really, it’s all jokes). Anyway welcome to the club, we have snacks :D

the grind never stops
not anymore, there’s strikes w/ that team but this *is* plans for a season 3 i believe
Oh man you couldn't put the whole kiss in here, but Michael's acting during that was so brilliant. Starts with eyes open, arms stiff, scared of what's happening and how he feels. Then eyes closed, tentatively embracing Crowley, then back to panic mode. Someone else said it already but poor Aziraphale can't get over the baseline idea that Crowley, as a demon, is simply off limits as a significant other. Which is why when Crowley has asked him repeatedly to go away together Aziraphale can't. But if he was an angel too, that would fix everything. You can see the yearning. But also the dichotomy of the angel showing restraint while the demon has made it very clear what he wants and ultimately resorts to extreme measures to try to get Aziraphale to realize 1) they both want the same thing, and 2) it's totally okay for them to get to be happy regardless of their jobs... this whole scene just hurts. You can feel Crowley's desperation to not lose Aziraphale to heaven as he knows it's abusive, even said both heaven and hell are toxic, and i think that is why he kissed him. He's been content to play the long game for so many thousands of years, but now there are real stakes and he was desperate to stop what was coming.
How long do we have to wait for season 3? Cuz i need it right now. That whole credits scene with Crowley driving and Aziraphale ascending in the elevator was gut-wrenching.
WELL SAID, i can only agree w u
@@nonbinary_opossum_666 well im very sad about that.
2026 sadly so 2 years 😔
With Aziraphale, what most people done realise is that if you hate on him you’re just misunderstanding his character. He loves Crowley but is still loyal to the job he’s had for almost 6,000 years- it wasn’t a hard choice for him seeing as he’s been offered to bring Crowley too… as an angel but he IS an angel in Aziraphale’s eyes anyway. Crowley making his speech just confused and scared him, gave him a different altogether scary choice to think about, one that’s only really been a realistic option for not even 4 years. It threw his whole plan off, but in the end he’s still loyal to his job, and is doing what he genuinely thought was best. He thought that if he could make a difference in heaven Crowley would eventually join him, or he could make it better for everyone. Aziraphale is just misunderstood.
I know, it genuinely upsets me that people are trying to believe the Metatron slipped Aziraphale something in the coffee. The way he acted is so like him it's not even funny. When the scene happened you can tell by the way he moved his hands that he's uncertain as to how he should act when Crowley kissed him and that's what culminates into the "I forgive you." He even tries to give himself some time to try and change his mind, due to the evidence of Gabriel and Beelzebub who were able to run away together. But when he's told Muriel will take over the shop there is no reason to stay, obviously Crowley is there but that means he has to completely abandon what he's worked for his entire life. He wants to fix the corporate system of heaven and makes things less linear but that is not going to happen how he wants it to. I saw someone make a very great analogy, Aziraphale is like an abused child who has been pushed aside so many times by his authority figures that the moment they give him affection and praise he has no other choice but to believe that they finally care about him when they don't.
Edit: Just something to add, I've seen some people on TikTok arguing that Aziraphale doesn't even like coffee, but I've just started reading the book and it says that he enjoys tea, cocoa, and coffee. Not to say that everything in the book is canon to the show but it's just something to note about his character.
Heaven is corrupt and Azi is in an abusive cycle. Metatron acted like an abusive parent and pulled Azi back in
aziraphale loves crowley so damn much, but his version of love is warped by heaven's influence. To him, working with crowley by his side and repairing Heaven IS true love - it's the only way he can manage to show love at this moment. He's been conditioned into thinking only angels can be good, and of course he thinks Crowley is a good person, so to balance out those two contrasting ideas in his mind, he comes to the conclusion that of COURSE Crowley would want to be an angel again, because aren't angels the good ones? It's a tragic love story
if this was in reference to my “i hate you comment” can i just say that i didnt mean to be taken as a literal i hate you towards him, just emotional hurt at how the scene went down. i do think it makes sense for the character and i love him dearly
Azi is actually doing this whole thing for Crowley. Aziraphale doesn't really want to make changes or even suggest any. That's completely inappropriate to the angel, not his place etc. But when they met, Crowley wanted to make changes to the grand plan. And now that Azi got the chance, he's going to take it. The poor guy wouldn't even know what exactly needs change. But he's going to do it for his friend's (read: lover's)sake.
Is it me or is one of the best bits when Crowley is intoxicated on poison, also showing why David Tennant would make a good mad hatter.
probably my favorite bit (besides sweet angel crowley) its helping heal my heart haha
What’s even better is that Michael Sheen has played the white rabbit I think!

Tiny Crowley: “I seeeee youuuuu”
I really want to know what happened in all those seperate years which prompted Aziraphale to have to do the apology dance 😂
For 1793, I think it was when Aziraphale just went to Paris during the French Revolution for crepes.
For 1941, probably cuz the whole fiasco of getting himself in danger twice (almost died by Nazi spies & deadly bullet magic) 😅
In 1650 there were civil wars going on in both France (the Fronde) and Great Britain (Cromwell) and the volcano on Santorini blew up. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1650
"and we spent our existence pretending that we aren't" THAT KILLED ME BRO 💀
That voice crack 😭
neil gaiman better sleep with one eye open.
No we need him for the real good ending 😭
Stop that. Seriously. It's not even funny. It reactions like this that are toxic and are making the fandom worse for it.
Of course, we'll get a happy ending. Haven't you ever read a well-written, 3 act story? A 2nd act needs it's lowest point to earn the 3rd act's highs. A good romance needs stakes and heartbreak, and even better if their parted for believable personal reasons and are not strictly circumstancial or just being over misunderstanding.
The moral of Good Omens has always been, "We must reach out to one another." The 3rd season will drive that home.
Stop being part of the worst of the fandom and leave Neil alone. It's not even finished, and we won't get that 3rd season if we don't support it and everyone involved, especially Neil.

I know we’re all very angry at Aziraphale right now, but his "I need you“ makes me actually WEEP.
I'm not, I love that perfect imperfect angel and I love that ending, it felt very natural and in character, I would be more upset if it was a happy ending, they're not ready yet.
"Southern David Tennant isn't real, he can't hurt you."
Southern David Tennant: 6:25
LMAO
Literally caused me psychic damage.
Had to do a double take at this comment, because over here him being Scottish irl, but doing a London accent, means he was always "Southern David Tennant" in this.
And then I remembered America exists.
Aziraphale being bitchy about Crowley baby talking the Bentley is so funny bc you can either read it as "bro you were literally chatting with the car the whole trip" or "Aziraphale is humoring him because he's convinced the Bentley likes him better"
I like the latter so much because like, she didn’t accelerate her speed even Azi pressed the pedal bc she knows Azi doesn’t like it fast. And then she wanted to follow Azi after he parked her🤣 They pampered each other through the whole trip
as much as I'm depressed because of the ending as the next person is, I will not tolerate Zira slander- the character conflict was BEAUTIFULLY done! It makes complete sense for his character to refuse Crowley and go to Heaven. This doesn't mean he rejected Crowley or even meant to hurt him. He loves Earth just as much as Crowley does - that is the reason for him leaving. He wants Earth and Crowley to be safe and happy. He wants to make Heaven BETTER (arguably for Crowley, because he remembers how happy he was as an angel). He believes he's doing the right thing. Although misguided, he' s actually trying to act selfless, putting aside his personal feelings to work towards a good cause. I think people calling him an idiot is completely uncalled for. He's been abused by Heaven for ages and now its extending him, as he sees it, a helping hand. Metatron has treated Zira with more kindness than any Heaven official. He given a reason to think that there was a way to change things. At least this is my take away from this. Although the coffee theory is still completely on the table for me xD
The Metatron isn't kind he's manipulative, he pushed Aziraphale aside so many times and finally gave him affection in order to manipulate him into supporting the vote for the apocalypse. You can tell by the fact that Aziraphale tried to change his mind about his choice but the Metatron didn't even give him a chance to think about Crowley, that was the whole point of why he was there in the first place. It's all manipulation.
@@sagesstuff4761 It still doesn't change the fact that Zira saw it as kindness. I was literally making that same point.
agreed!! if this was in reference to my “i hate u” comment just know it wasn’t meant seriously, purely emotional hurt abt how the scene went down. i love him & understand his reasoning, although i DO think he’s being naive.
@@smilesedgeworth7143 I must've read your writing wrong I apologize, my mistake. Yep re-read it, I assume I focused on the end of what your were saying rather than what you'd said before lol.
Yes, it was definitely something Aziraphael would do! Especially after Metatron’s „we are the nice, good guys!” play. I think that Crowley is better at seeing how complicated things can be, but it also made him cynical. Aziraphael is still hopeful and willing to make the world a better place.
From Aziraphael perspective Crowley had left him as much as he had left Crowley. And I am sure, that he has wanted to go back to Crowley, but „second coming” part made him go.
For the final scene, when Aziraphale interrupted Crowley, that shit upset me so bad. I understand it, having something so exciting that you can't even hold it in, but knowing that things could have been a little different if Crowley actually got to go first... On top of that, they spent the whole season talking over each other and not listening to each other, and look where that got them.
Also, I would love to commend the acting for that scene. They played their roles well, and told the story well. I could feel the anxiety of Crowley speaking his truth for the first time, and the fear trying to make him stop, and his second guessing himself. Especially the "And I would like to spend---" followed by that frustrated growl as he struggles to get the words out. David played it out so well.
“You can’t leave this bookshop” = “please don’t leave me” and I DIED
Crowleys American accent kills me like the goofy “hyuck hyuck” kills me
As much as I hate the ending, it is perfectly written and Neil did give us the kiss. Btw David’s performance is amazing in this series, kinda centred the show.
Season 3 is just zira practicing the apology dance every scene until him and Crowley meet again
That scene where crowley confronts jim abt him trying to destroy azira will never not feel like it was ripped "straight" out of a fanfic
I think the grave-digging "mini-sode" sets up A's reaction to Crowley's proposal at the end. Aziraphale isn't able (yet) to empathize with human suffering as much as Crowley or connect with his own or others' emotions, because he's focused much more on how his and others' actions measure up to a rigid code. He's loving, but he can be judgemental and a little cold because he never pays attention to his own wants/desires--he's been taught they don't matter to anyone--so it is hard for him to connect emotionally in terms of communicating about deep, intense emotions. He's never cruel, but the fact that he blames this poor young, starving woman for doing something distasteful to survive, ignoring her pain and oppression, is a little disturbing--but it makes sense in thinking how he's been treated and taught to treat others.
I watched Good Omens with my mother (lol) and she made a comment on how Aziraphale is a good professional and can do his job alone (I didn't agree aka 1941) but is Crowley that brings the voice of reason to understand the human nature and as well its pain. So without Crowley he can't do the actually good thing. They need one another to do the right thing.
@@kamijou-san1663 Can you explain what you mean about 1941?
@@letolethe3344 it was when Crowley had to go inside of a church to save Aziraphale from the nazis (during ww2, 1941)
Yes! Aziraphale biggest problem is that he can't stop his holier-than-thou mindset, especially in front of this demon. He wants attention for goodly acts and is still using Heaven's twisted sense of morality.
He and Crowley remind me of people who struggled with high demand religions. Crowley got out and, rightfully, resents it. Aziraphale slipped back in after being told what he wanted to hear and that it would be better this time. To Aziraphale, rejecting angel-hood might even look like proof that Crowley really is a sinful serpent that is turning away from true goodness.
But Crowley actions have demonstrated that for all his demonic snarling and naughty behavior, he's a genuinely good person.
The last scene shattered my heart into millions of pieces. I'm still not over the pain I felt. I'm desperately looking for a happy ending for them in Season 3. Is it too early to ask for this? Whatever! I want that.
I totally understand you!
My heart feels so empty that I am relying on these videos to even feel the slightest love they have for each other
Just cannot wait for season 3
Even though it’s most likely a happy ending I’m still going to skip to the last scene just to make sure before I watch the first episodes.
One of my favourite moments in this season is when they are in the pub and Aziraphale says “She had balls”
Crowley: “Well..”
Aziraphale: “Cotillion ball”
Then you can hear Crowley in the background go “oh”

Michael's acting this entire season was just WOW. We got to see so much enthusiasm, heart eyes, heartbreak, and microexpressions... what a TREAT. Hats off to the boys because that ending (though it had me digging my grave for a solid three days after seeing it) held so much gravitas and emotion I CAN'T wait to see what Neil has up his sleeve. BLESS EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH THIS SERIES 🙏 Definitely worth the 4 year wait.
Watched the final episode at 1am and I was so wired I didn't sleep for HOURS. That ending had me climbing the walls and eating the drywall. The acting... Fuck me up. With all this being said, I am going to be a quivering mess until season 3 is announced.
Finally, someone else. I feel exactly like this at this moment. I finished s2 almost an hour ago..
as much as i broken cause of ending as much i also feel cozy, the whole season, all flashbacks and kiss gave me sm joy, ep3 is actually my favourite cause of how silly and sweet and comfy it is
i love s1 and book but s2 focusing mostly on ineffable husbands without pararel plots(we have those in this season but we in london all the time, no other towns and forests and whatever, characters all there on this street where azi bookshop is) is actually what i really needed. they're in their sweetest there and i love love love it sm
completely agree i love the vibe of this season
I absolutely agree. It's still a great season that focused mainly on them. And we can't forget that we finally got the kiss. It's a love story and no one can ever deny that now. I mean I was always sure but rewatching season 1 now hits different because I know it's about love.
Never seen such a more married and cozy couple in live action than Aziraphale and Crowley! They’re so well done I forgor they aren’t real sometimes
11:02 completely agree Michael Sheen blew it out of the water (he was so great the entire season but those final fifteen? no words). That second you see him switching from the wracking devastation to deciding to say the most hurtful thing to Crowley because he is in pain is just uuuuuuugggggh chef's kiss indeed
Yeah, I absolutely loved that. It's a striking moment because it's usually not in his nature to be spiteful. And yet it makes perfect sense when you figure he likely perceives Crowley's rejection of Heaven as a rejection of HIM. He's already shut down and resigned himself to that, and then Crowley goes and kisses him unprompted, making him feel vulnerable and confused, and he hates that. I think his, "I forgive you," is essentially him saying, "Eff off," in the most hurtful way he can think of. And Michael Sheen conveys all of that so beautifully in just the span of a few seconds.
@@supremeoverlorde2109 Totally! While I'd say Aziraphale definitely has a petty streak, I agree he's usually not hurtful with his spite (though that one French revolutionary/executioner might disagree lol). And the kiss as a follow-up to that rejection has to hurt him double because for him, it might also seem like a last-ditch attempt from Crowley not to say "Please stay with ME - I love you and I want us to stay together" but to try and keep him from taking the deal as in "You said you need me, you like me, and if you love me enough, you'll reject Heaven right now instead of going". There's just so many misunderstandings going on between the two of them and they're so naturally ingrained into their respective personalities/world views.
That minute or so Aziraphale stands alone in the bookshop and touches his lips, and then moves to wipe them? Heartbreaking. Deserves all the acting awards. You can see the at least twelve different conflicts running through his mind. The way he immediately turns to wipe a tear when he notices the Metatron entering? Shattering. I am unwell just thinking about it.
@@howlingnerdwolf6971 Yeah, I agree, the breakdown in communication between them is so sad, especially coming right on the heels of Maggie and Nina enlightening Crowley about the fact that they never truly talk to each other. They talk plenty in this scene, but they're both so stuck in their own feelings about the situation that they don't listen to each other or try to understand where the other is coming from. They love each other but have completely different ideas about what happiness looks like.
David Tennant and Michael Sheen do the humor on this show so well, but dang, they can pull out the angst when necessary, too.
i’ve been desperately trying to figure out why he said “i forgive you” of all things since i saw this scene (i just straight up didn’t understand where it was coming from) and this is such a good interpretation!!
The entire laudanum sequence was hilarious! A drunk Crowley is always even sillier (and way more Scottish) than regular Crowley, who is always goofy. He reminds me of a cat, where they always try to act dignified and serious, but that just makes the things they actually do even cuter and sillier.

No. Because Neil Gaiman himself has never denied that. Neil Gaiman in fact has state is a cryptic they could be. This was back in season 1 and even before he was cryptic about it. Study other things he has had his hands into. He is very open-minded about the fluidity of sexuality.
@@victoria7tI have read the book, but like… as someone who went through hell as a queer kid in the 90s, who had so little representation and grew up with the horror of AIDS hammered into my head, who almost got expelled from school for questioning my sexuality, I feel like it’s important that somebody knows that having it confirmed to be romantic love is *earth-shattering*
@bigjedimullet
I am pansexual. Not very kind of you to assume that I don't understand this either and I am not on your same side with this. I was born in the 60s and was a teenager in the 80s. I was also aware of what went on in the 90s. That is why I said what I said, Neil Gaiman has confirmed it as much as he's going to ever confirm it. They are not male humans but an angel and a demon. Sexuality is more fluid with them because in their world there is just pure equality there is no gay or bi or pan sexual or anything like that anybody can be in love with anybody because technically there's no gender either. Neil has actually stated this is indeed above story. He's openly stated that. However it is above story between the angel and a demon with no defined gender by human standards. That is why in season two you see who appears to be a female playing Michael because they are genderless there's pure equality there. This is just one example of what I'm talking about but he's been asked this on Twitter and he's responded and he's been interviewed in the past before and he's always stuck to saying is that exactly what he says in this article. After all isn't that what all of us would love to see in this world? A world where gender and sexual orientation don't matter as much as they seem to now and as they did back in the nineties and eighties and 70s and 60s? You think you had it tough going to the 90s as a gay person? You need to thank myself and my generation because Saints to us you had it easier. I went to the 80s AIDS crisis. I was alive when Stonewall happened. I would have given all that stuff for the hardship you went through the night he's in the blink of an eye. It's because of what we went through in the eighties and Beyond that you didn't have it any harder in the nineties then what you did have to go through.

Season 3 better have aziraphale under an awning during a cosmic rainstorm, staring across the way at Crowley and realize he is his lost love
Ok but the weird part is I saw the kiss scene as a spoiler, and was ok with it even happy to know they kiss, then I saw the entire season and I BAWLED MY EYES OUT like why??? I knew the kiss was coming why did I sufffeeeerrr???
I knew about the kiss as well, bawled my eyes out at what happened after
Scottish Crowley is my new favorite thing
Did ANYBODY else see the look the Metatron gave Crowley right when he was taking Aziraphale out to talk. Did anyone else's stomach drop
tbh if Michael and David weren't such good friends IRL, I don't think this would work as well as it does.
Man... this is just so sad. I literally just finished season 2 and I'm here for more, but ooooh this is so sad!
David and Michael are brilliant actors, the way the tone of Crowley's voice changes when he's about to say what he wants is incredible
this season was so funky i love it so much lol
SAME! funky is such a good word for it
*loki ragnarok voice*
I HAVE BEEN CRYING… FOR SEVERAL DAYS!!!
Azi being excited abt things like driving the bentley, putting that fur boa on, going to dance with crowley is so kdsgifaghfkuds ghjfasdgchjsfvdv HE IS BABYGIRL
I know reception to this season has been mixed, but as someone who loves character-focused narratives, I've been eating this up. Crowley and Aziraphale are both so complicated in different ways, and I think that while the ending does initially feel a bit jarring and out of nowhere, it completely makes sense for where they are in their relationship to both each other and themselves. And imo, the season does a great job of setting that up through the central mystery, as well as through the flashbacks of their history.
Okay, I totally think Aziraphale still thinks Crowley just wants to be friends. Crowley never said how he felt just that they should run off and be together. And Aziraphale would never assume that Crowley really meant he loves him. And Crowley just saying we could’ve been us, can mean friends forever like always. And then the kiss, Aziraphale just thinks that was Crowley just tempting him to stay and playing with his feelings. Which is why he forgave him.
Remember, Nina and Maggie’s relationship mirrors theirs and Nina said she wasn’t Maggie’s type and Maggie realized Nina had no clue about her feelings and she had just assumed Nina knew. So, Aziraphale assumes Crowley knows about his feelings but could never return them.
It’s the miss communication that fucks them.
Zira and Crowley have broken up like three times without dating, that's the true queer rep we deserve
No matter how many times I see the clip, the alarm going off in Heaven has me dying every time 😂😂 the comedic timing is everything and its so underrated
We're children of divorce
Their combined miracle literally set off alarm bells, that’s such married energy
"You say potato 🥔, I say *excellent*" IS my favourite part 🎉😅
All I want is for Crowley to have a support system in s3. Like, when Zira comes (crawling) back to the bookshop, the street traders association & Gabe/Beelzebub & Muriel all have Crowley's back in their conflict bc they start to like this stupid demon. I don't want him holed up in his apartment feeling shitty, I want him to keep following the path towards emotional intelligence and I also want to make it everybody's problem
I think you're really on to something. Honestly, if Crowley is going to pick up some emotional intelligence, he probably NEEDS a support system. I think a bit part of Crowley's problem, and what makes season 2's ending so tragic from his end of things, is that he literally has no one else. Aziraphale has always kind of been waiting for an opportunity to be accepted back into Heaven I think, but Crowley is different. He's so fiercely protective of Aziraphale and the fragile existence they've carved out for themselves throughout the season because that's home to him. That's his everything.
I feel like a big aspect of further growth and development for him NEEDS to be the realization that there's more worth living for. Because having your entire existence wrapped up in a single individual is heartbreaking and terrifying. I would know, for sure.
have y'all noticed also how crowley barely has his glasses on in this season, like at one point i asked my siblings if they saw his eyes as normal, and they were like "uhhh, no?"
Most wholesome thing imo: they both need to try and make Maggie and Nina fall in love so we see what they think is the most romantic thing. Which???
Crowley thinks getting caught in the rain and having to shelter together closely is the most romantic (WHAT THEY DID IN SEASON 1 EPISODE 1) and Aziraphale thinks a Pride and Prejudice style ball is the most romantic and ASKS CROWLEY TO DANCE??
Edit// Also this is unrelated but the glasses Crowley wears around the time of Job bug the shit out of me. They are so obviously just some circles glued onto regular modern day rectangular frames and it bugs the shit out of me
Crowley confronting Jim/Gabriel was *chef's kiss*
i need you to understand that your video of them in s1 is one of the main reasons i convinced my whole family to watch this show.
this video is so vital
no way omg that makes me so happy
2:58 my favorite thing ever is crowley smiling while getting to wingman those lesbians
Tenant just gets to be himself in the poison scene
that last scene has me crying EVERY SINGLE TIME. if we don’t get a season 3 i think i’ll be permanently depressed.
That smile Crowley did around 9:00 after Aziraphale handled the matter like a champ was sooooo cute i can't
THE LEGEND JUST UPLOADED A GOOD OMENS VIDEO LETS GO
edit: also i am broken, you are broken, we're all broken
because of good omens
help
THIS IS SO SWEET TY :,))))

10:15-25: Remember how in s1e1 the narrator/God explains how much the two satanic nuns misunderstand the meanings behind each other's winks when they're switching the antichrist baby? I think the same level of misunderstanding is happening here. The two of them are so completely unused to discussing their feelings plainly (because they've had to hide them for millennia) that they cannot help but use coded language and they misunderstand each other's meaning. I think that when Crowley says, "You can't leave this bookshop", he MEANS, "You can't leave me. You don't want to leave me; please don't leave me! I can make you happy, and you won't be happy anywhere else." But Aziraphale HEARS "We've been happy here, and we've had fun here, and I don't want it to end." He doesn't realize Crowley's speaking of the shop as a symbol of their love. Meanwhile, when Aziraphale says, "Nothing lasts forever", he MEANS, "Yes, it's been fun here and we've been happy here, but now it's time to move on. This bookshop doesn't matter that much because I will love you no matter where we are. As long as we're together, we are home." But what Crowley HEARS is, "It's been fun having you as my closest confidant and companion and I care, but this closeness can't last forever."
I imagined this in God's voice. XD
8:57 when he puts his hand on his shoulder AHHHH i’m going to be sickkkkk
Season 3 about the rapture. The angels split Aziraphel & Crowley up to manipulate Aziraphel into giving the swing vote for the rapture.
They are going to use Crowley as leverage against Azirephel to force him to vote for it. Crowley is going to end up trying to pull his angel's halo out of heavens fire.
My reaction for season 2, Azirephel NOOO!! WHY?? 😭💔 Crowley😭💔
10:59 Deep down in my heart, I know he was trying to say I love you but ultimately said I forgive you to show he does have compassion for him but can't really say it (and also from season 1, there was a whole thing in the pavilion argument about demons being unforgivable). I've always felt that it was his roundabout way of showing he truly cares, but using this roundabout was not the way to go.😭
the ending had me SOBBING "we could of been us"
Aziraphale is truly afraid to admit his love. Even when Gabriel/Jim told him that in a friendly way, he was unable to answer. And he panics when asked if he's ever felt like being with someone just makes sense, plus in the first season he was afraid to move forward with his relationship. Despite being very emotionally open unlike Crowley, he's very unsure on that aspect :'''
i have a headcanon that aziraphale likes yellow because crowley's eyes are yellow
I just love the scene with Aziraphale thinking he's going to hell and Crowley teases but comforts him at the same...idk it's just so cute and wholesome 😊
The way Crowley says 'I don't think you'd like it.' Gets me everytime, it's so gentle.
AZIRAPHALE’S LITTLE LAUGH WHEN HE TALES CROWLEY’S HAND TO DANCE I DIE EVERY TIME ITS SO PRECIOUS
10:53 the meme is literally my reaction. couldn't stop laughing just from an image
Instead of "do you ever feel like a plastic bag" its "do you ever feel like Crowley walking around with a pile of books"
Just occurred to me how strange watching this video would be for someone who doesn’t know the plot to good omens
Me😂
the reason it hurts more than spn is bc it’s actually good
fr
Oh don't bother. I'm just here to get my daily doze of suffering from RUclips. Thank you.
8:19 the giggle gets me every time, it makes my heart clench its so cute 😭 its so soft and excited to be hosting a dance and having crowley dance with him omg
neil gaiman si je t'attrape.....................................
this is like being with someone that still hasn't come out and isn't ready yet
angel crowley making those sounds of happiness make me just as happy as he is in that moment
I love Martin Sheen's face expressions, when Inspector Constable comes for a tea. 🥰
He feels their confusion.
Also, I've seen this video too many times.
I'm addicted.
They're both right and wrong in their own way at the end and THAT'S MAKING ME INSANE
"He's not my bit on the side! He's far to pure of heart to be anyone's bit on the side."
You my friend, are saving me from going absolutely insane ❤️
“More painful than the SPN ending” 💀
I LOVE THEM MORE THAN YOU CAN EVEN IMAGINE 💗🤭💕
I’m sorry but the part where crowley is talking to jim and says “i swear if any harm comes to Aziraphale i will-“ is just so fucking cute to me like HES SO PROTECTIVE AND LOVES HIM SO MUCH AHHG
