Good Omens (Spoilers for S2!)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm curious...

Re: Good Omens (Spoilers for S2!)

Do you genuinely believe that Gaiman planned to tell the Aziraphale/Crowley love story all along? I remember there being a time when he was very careful not to encourage the shippers too much, so it feels a little weird seeing him embracing the fandom like this. I'm not even mad about it. It's just... weird.

Thoughts?

We know Pratchett would have liked the love story angle, if that helps. He spoke about how A and C were sort of in love at fancons before he passed.

Mm, that's a good point-- I can see Neil's feelings changing over time for a lot of reasons, but SO much of this was that making it was the last thing Terry asked him to do, and his drive has been to make something Terry would like. And Terry was, iirc, the one who sort of 'canonized' the South Downs thing.

I don't think he 100% planned it, like more of a 'if we get a s2 maybe I'll go for it' kind of thing. Which I'm not faulting him for, sometimes a half-hatched plan can take full form in the event of being given more room to work with.

But I'm happy about it all the same, I don't need it to have been intended all along for it to be enjoyable because imo the vague nature of s1 allowed him to go in either direction if he wanted: keep them as friends or actually have them be in love, but given how unsubtle and sledgehammer over the head s2 was(much, much moreso than s1 imo) I am of the notion that it wasn't the original intention. But I don't care either way tbh.

Gabriel and beelzebub's relationship felt a little unearned. I'd have liked to see it play out a little more rather than being preserved secretly for the "twist". That is my big complaint about a lot of Amazon shows. They keep too much back so they can do a big twist reveal in a single episode.

For me it worked-- and going BACK, it gave me a new reading to all of Beelzebub's bits. Seeing them tell Crowley a position as Duke of Hell might open up if he brought Gabriel to them. The fly buzzing around 'Jim' all the time that I had assumed would have something to do with Beelzebub but had thought was *ominous* at first... Like, I think I would not have *enjoyed* it as much if we'd had those scenes throughout, because I wanted to be along on the mystery.

I've seen it described as like a "very average fanfic" and I kinda have to agree.
