Re: Good Omens 2

Superfan-- the novel has been my favorite for a long time, Book!Aziraphale is my favorite fictional character ever, s1 I felt was a faithful adaptation and expansion that gave me (nearly) everything I expected or needed while also adding a dash of the new. (yes, the bits with Newt and Anathema were... about what I expected trying to adapt that whole thing to be. Just because it's my favorite novel doesn't mean I love all the bits and characters equally)


I really love s2-- I mean, I'm emotionally DESTROYED and I need Amazon in particular to cave and give writers and actors everything they want so that they can be UN-struck, so that s3 can happen and fix the gaping chasm in my heart, but... I love it, I don't only love things that don't hurt me. The book makes me cry at a couple points just because it's something beautiful that understands what it is to be human even when it explores that through the lens of the *in*human.

Like, first of all, s2 does not drag with nearly as many characters to care less about-- whenever we *do* break from both Crowley and Aziraphale, which is infrequently, it's characters who either affect or reflect their story in some way. And I just really appreciated all the little nods to Terry Pratchett and the bits where you could still feel his influence. I enjoy solo Neil Gaiman endeavors, but Good Omens is NOT that, it's a joint thing, and even with Terry gone, he's so present in Good Omens in these little ways I didn't know I was aching for. Not only the thing like 'seamstress' and CMOT Dibbler's name popping up, but like... moments where characters just feel like Terry characters, too.
