Good Omens 2 - Crowley in Wonderland

[@krighart1507]

Crowley, off his face on laudanum and singing Flower of Scotland was the best part of this sequence.

[@Soul_404.]

A funny thing is that by this point in history the song wasnt writen, witch means they made it in this scene

You know, as someone who tried to kill herself, when I saw this scene it made me tear up a bit, because it was my favourite character and actor telling me in the cutest and still most real way possible that dying is not worth it. Everytime I'm feeling down from now on I'll come back to the scene and let Crowley remind me that I need to keep on living.

[@riablatterspiel7236]

Oh I love "Crowley on drugs"; it has something so heartwarming about him drinking the poison to save the girl. At the same time, he appears so frustrated as he implores Aziraphale to convince the girl that life is worth living, after all the misery they've witnessed in their existence. He's high, probably frustrated because he sees the world's suffering (unlike Aziraphale) in its entirety, yet he still saves the girl and provides her with a good life that she would have never had without miracles. Crowley probably didn't even know for sure what the poison would do to him, yet he drank it anyway! I have so much love for this scene!

[@nobodyimportant1968]

i appreciate that crowley finally realised that he and aziraphale kind of treated elspeth's life like a game up until she lost wee morag, and tried to do a little bit of good to at least let her have a better life without them in it. and he still made sure to rub it in aziraphale's face a little, so that the angel might maybe shut up about the virtues of poverty. i love this scene so dang much too.

Okay despite everything else being perfect in this scene , what makes it even more hilarious to me is Aziraphale's reaction.
Hes totally calm because this isn't his first drunken rodeo

I love seeing him be a no holds barred Scotsman.

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

I’ve only ever seen a couple of thing where they let him actually be Scottish and it always throws me for a loop for a second. One of those thing was an animate show and it took me and a friend a few mins to place the voice actor; because they never let Tennant actually use his own accent

[@user-xo6ix7oc5q]

Every time I'm feeling suicidal, I come back to this scene. It works for a few reasons. One is that Crowley makes such a compelling argument. The other is that I know I have to wait and see what happens with the rest of the story.

[@matthewlebo1841]

My God, I love how Crowley acts throughout the entire minisode, just absolutely LIVING for a serious ethical dilemma.

[@vickyetienne2962]

i read that as ethical diarrhea

[@jeremytung1632]

David had one episode to go FULL Scott and he didn’t waste it.

[@letolethe3344]

If anyone's interested, I did some research and 90 guineas in 1820s currency is roughly equivalent to $35,000 in today's currency. So this was a HUGE donation. Even a shilling (12 pence in the UK's old money system) would have been a large donation to a beggar.

[@narnigrin]

I love how we get Elspeth's reaction to him saying the number and how her eyes become fucking SAUCERS at that moment, lol

[@mangaanimefan3089]

Ok! Yes, I was wondering how much that would be today. So, Elspeth really could buy a farm. Well, I hope she does so! And that she was "Properly Good" for the rest of her life. Considering what Crowley probably went through for helping her, I really hope she did.

David Tennant, can act blitzed off his a** so well he says "screw it, if I'm doing this I'm pulling out the SCOTTISH!"

[@blue_dino3]

I can confirm that Scottish Crowley can single handedly make my day 100 times better.

[@letolethe3344]

While Aziraphale is strongly dedicated to helping humanity in general, I see some instances where he really doesn't show much empathy for individual people. In this whole "minisode", it takes him a long time to really show compassion for Elspeth's suffering; for most of it, he only talks about her "sins" without considering her context and circumstances, as Crowley did. If she's to survive, what else can she do? Easy to judge someone when you're immortal with no need for worldly goods. Then with Maggie in the first episode, he did help her with rent, but it seemed like it was more for his own convenience. In S1, he really was going to kill Adam. And in the closing scene in S2E6, he doesn't seem able to empathize with Crowley's emotions or understand at all why he wouldn't want to back to heaven (having been rejected there).

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

I see a lot of fans forget these aspects of the character. Even ignoring the fact the series keeps showing that Heaven’s angels are indifferent and un-epathetic, Aziraphale is not a paragon of goodness he’s an unrepentant hedonist who’s first priority is always what he wants and is often oblivious to his own hypocrisy.
The fact that he was carrying around that much money while preaching the virtues of poverty and trying to stop her from grave robbing speaks to the way Aziraphale and the other angels but into the idea of goodness without backing it up with action.
The reason Aziraphale and Crowley work so well together is because one is Hell’s most angelic demon and the other Heaven’s most demonic angel

[@letolethe5878]

@@Halfbad-bf1lt I don't know that I would go that far--he's just still learning empathy. He does show kindness and empathy to some people, like Job and his children.

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

@@letolethe5878 it’s something they did more in the show; in the book Aziraphale is much more of a bastard for lack of a better way of phrasing it.
In the book he’s always the first to suggest murdering the anti christ and he is much more put out about loosing the pleasures he likes than saving humanity.
He’s been made more empathetic in the show but I think it does show him to believe more in the idea of goodness rather than how it works in reality. I think it’s to highlight the almost indoctrination that the angels seem to have with the idea of something being good because they are angels from Heaven so they can only do good, no matter the harm that is actually caused but I don’t think I explained that very well in my original comment

[@owlygemart]

Aziraphale puts heavens order first automatically, there are flashes of that pesky empathy that peek through innthis episode, like when hes hugging the tumor in a jar, the finality of it really hits him. He gets lost in the "rules" but i do believe he has the ability to be empathetic, even if its a bit less so than Crowley

Well, sense he wasn't replaced then, I guess he was just given a strict warning and probably was sent to work in shitty places
Remember, up until then he was taking credit for all the terrible things humans did
That could have been the punishment. Seeing all the bad amongst the worst of the worst

[@heatherfyffe3618]

@@6Darkest6Angel6 Yeah - I recently watched a supercut of the Az&Crowley historical scenes in chronological order. And that's when I realized that the next time shown (at least that we see -- he might have popped up earlier but we haven't seen it yet) is when he starts asking for Holy Water. So I came to the exact same conclusion -- after being caught and punished for doing good deeds, he realized he was going to be in REAL danger if he kept up his friendship with Az and his quasi-rebellion against Hell. So that's when he started wanting some backup protection. It's actually quite cleverly written, how that all fits together.

[@bdpickett]

This assumes anyone in hell noticed. Crowley has been doing stuff like this for millennia and neither side ever noticed any of it. And even the one or two times someone might have caught wise, he and Aziraphale always managed to cover their tracks. He benefits from Hell being overtaxed as much as Az benefits from Heaven's utter ambivalence.

@@heatherfyffe3618 your right! Or at the very least, have a secret weapon just in case and that's exactly what he did

@bdpickett I'm pretty sure it's meant to imply that they did notice this one, as a Particularly Nice Thing. Az asked if he was worried he'd get in trouble, Crowley said he wasn't worried at all, and then the ground swallowed him up. Why did the ground swallow him up just then if it wasn't Hell collecting him for punishment?

Hate that saying "Money is the root of all evil". 😠 No, it's GREED that's the problem.
