A Nice & Accurate Good Omens Timeline

I'm back from the dead with a little side project! Friends over at @ineffable-detective-agency and I have compiled a handy dandy list with all the important Book Omens and Show Omens related dates. What makes this timeline nice and accurate? It has linked annotations! That's right, all blog posts and answers to asks ripe for the referencing. As well as little icons to demarcate Book timeline info from Show Timeline info. So if you've ever wondered what year the arrangement started in, or when Give me coffee or give me death took over Jon coffee, here's your answer! Good Omens Timeline

New adventure, but still unprofessional 🌍💫

One can hope

Never forget Aziraphale's reaction when he finally understood how dangerous the evidence Furfur had was and that they were going to take Crowley away from him forever

[crowleystits]

aziraphale: anthony?

crowley: you... you don't like it?

Hey, you want to hear about some fucked up foreshadowing from Good Omens season 1 to Good Omens season 2?

...

Fuck-up #1.

Aziraphale steps into the teleportation circle. He says, "Fuck," and goes up to Heaven, having his body discorporated in the process.

The step into the teleportation circle was a mistake.

...

Fuck-up #2.

Crowley explains to Aziraphale, "We are fucked," as Satan is arriving. After Aziraphale tells Crowley to come up with something, Crowley raises his arms upward to stop time on a much bigger scale than what we saw him do in earlier scenes.

...

Fuck-up #3.

Gabriel tells Crowley, wearing Aziraphale's appearance, "I'm the archangel fucking Gabriel." Shortly after, Uriel removes the ropes on Crowley and says, "Up."

Assuming Crowley was really Aziraphale was a mistake.

...

What's Crowley mistake compared to the other two? I don't know. Giving up too soon?

...

All three of them got to say "fuck" once and no one else throughout all of season 1. Now admittedly that's based on me going over my own transcript and general memory of the show and hoping I didn't miss it being said by anyone else.

Then in GOS2, we have these three working together:

And...well, a lot can be said on that miracle, but I've said it elsewhere. My point is the previous fuck-ups foreshadowed this collaboration for those three characters...that ends up at least looking like they fucked up.

Then again, no fucks were stated during this miracle. But someone did go up afterward:

...

Well, that was fun, for me anyway.

Aziraphale: We have a problem. Crowley: No, YOU have a problem. I have an idiot who keeps making them.

[livhowlett]

Do we, The Good Omens Fandom, have a "codeword/phrase" we say to each other?

For example, if I see someone out in the world and I think, "They seem like a Good Omens Simp" can I just say "AVAUNT!" And them answer "Foul Demon!" ???

I need to know.

Good Omens Theory

Kind of? Maybe more of an observation? You decide.

So, we always talk a lot about the final 15, but I think it would be interesting to focus on the events which lead up to it too. Especially Nina and Maggie's talk with Crowley.

I'll start saying that I've always found Maggie very weird. I mean, Nina's reactions to the crazy things happening around them are quite understandable and human, but Maggie seems...out of it? She just goes along with whatever is happening and is pretty cliché as a character (which is not normal in Good Omens). I read The Magic Trick You Didn't See and, while I don't exactly agree with everything written about Maggie, I actually believe something is just not right about her...but we'll see.

Going back to The Talk, I just find the timing and the urgency very suspicious. Nobody knew what the Metatron wanted to tell Aziraphale when they first left, least of all Maggie and Nina. In fact, at the time we also saw a very calm Crowley tidying up the bookshop and thinking about going to the Ritz as soon as Aziraphale came back. Crowley thought they had all the time in the world, there was no urgency and they had a clear mind. I'm pretty sure that, if Aziraphale came back and told them about the Metatron's offer while Crowley was still in that mindset, their final conversation would have been VERY different. And I'm not saying the outcome would have changed (I actually have no idea about it), but I strongly believe that they would have talked more calmly and understood each other better, maybe even came up with a plan.

However, we all know how it went. Maggie convinced Nina to immediately go to the bookshop. They literally left a line of clients at the coffee shop and for what? To reprimand someone because they meddled in their personal lives...and then do the exact same thing to them. Even if it made sense (which it doesn't), why was Maggie so adamant on doing it right in that moment? A normal person would have waited at least the next day considering the crazy things that had just happened, so that everyone would have had time to calm down. Also, there was no way they could have known that Aziraphale wouldn't have probably been there the next day, so why the rush?

All they accomplished was making Crowley nervous and scared for the (beautiful) confession they had to plan last minute, in a rush Maggie and Nina put them into. So, when Aziraphale came back, they were in opposite mindsets and totally caught up in their own feelings. Feelings that, for Aziraphale, were influenced by the conversation with the Metatron, while, for Crowley, were unleashed by Maggie and Nina's talk.

With all that being said, I'm done. The timing of that talk is just something that I've always found unusual. Maybe there's actually nothing into it, I really don't know, but I thought it'd be fun to share :)

The case for (at least) two stories in GO season 2: Bildad

This chapter will be more enjoyable if you read the first post "The Kiss"! Another blatant instance of inconsistency and topic of much debate has been Bildad's wig(s). His hair seems to change all the time, and the headband is never quite the same. What if I told you that if you stop focusing on the hair, and count the stripes on his headbands, a clear picture emerges? Sounds insane right? Here's the entirety of episode 2, arranged by number of headband stripes Crowley has in each scene.

I'll put screenshots in case you don't want to rewatch those two sillies again for 4 minutes. But be real... who doesn't? A pretty clear pattern emerges when you arrange the scenes like this : more stripes = more intimacy and trust between Crowley & Aziraphale. For stripe 1, we only get the opening scene where Crowley "destroys Job's goats".

This scene could live on it's own in the story, theoretically. Aziraphale never interferes with Crowley as he destroys the children, because it's all hunky dory up in heaven. The very next scene we see Crowley questioning Job and Sitis, starting to doubt his job, and he's got two headbands and two stripes for most of the rest of his hijinks with Aziraphale.

Until the very end of the episode, where we are back to one headband, but two stripes. The hair is short again, and the headband is neat, and this stumped me for a long while. If you only count the number of headbands and hair length, this scene clearly belongs with the first, and story-wise, would make little sense. But taken with the other two-striped scenes, it paints the complete picture of the saving of Job's children together as a team. I've taken the three headband/stripe scenes out of order from the show and put them at the end. The only time Crowley has three headbands is when something deeply intimate is happening between Azirpahale and Crowley. The first instance is quite early on, for the whole of the reveal of Crowley's crows to goats pipeline.

Interestingly this is also where we get the cryptic line "I am not the angel you knew". Next is a little interlude inside of Crowley's "destruction" of Job's children, where Crowley admits to Aziraphale for the first time that they are "Temporarily not on different sides". It's also this part of the scene where we find out, surprisingly, that Job's children are unrepentant little shits, and Jemimah realizes that Crowley is actually, technically, a demon.

And now, after a brief break of two striped shenanigans, we return to three stripes Bildad in the basement, where he manages to tempt Aziraphale into admitting that heaven's morals are a little wacky, and into tasting food for the first time.

But this scene starts with Satan's great wind (LOL wow, a fart joke in between all the morality? Good Omens would never...), where Crowley curiously remarks "Hmm, they've started early". All of the cryptic & meta commentary dialogue is clearly happening inside the scenes where Crowley is wearing three headbands. Given that the three headbands portions of the story make little sense on their own, we could conclude that Job is a story retold three times, each consecutive time adding layers of context to the story, and quite literally, onto Bildad's head.

part 1 of this nonsense : The Kiss

next part : Heaven’s files.

This is going to have to be a multi-part series, but hey, almost no one is posting season 2 metas anymore so the people have to get their crack from somewhere. With thanks to everyone over in our @ineffable-detective-agency as usual.

Why is Good Omens trending 1#????

[crowleystits]

“You are the most splendid thing She ever made. And one of the few that makes me hold on to… faith. To love, for Her, for Heaven. The more I ponder, the more I believe we were part of Her plan all along. She made us for each other. Angel, demon, it is of no consequence. The way I feel– I do not accept it could ever be wrong.”

Chapter 3 is up 🙌🏻

Guys its my second anniversary with my one true love (Good omens) <3333

[embracing-the-ineffable]

I think @noneorother is the person in the IDA most likely to have the answers you're looking for! (Sorry I caught your tag so late!)

PLEASE HELP ME, GOOD OMENS FANDOM!

I don't know how many (if any) of my friends/followers are GOOD OMENS fans, but I need help.

The GOOD OMENS second season finale. The scene of "Tell me you said no." It starts the moment that Crowley says, "And you told him just where he could stick it, then?"

THAT MUSIC. *WHAT* IS THAT?!

I've checked BOTH soundtracks and I can't find it! (It's not "I Forgive You" or "Don't Bother.")

Can ANYONE tell me if this cue shows up elsewhere on the soundtracks and I just MISSED it?! Because I *NEED* that music!

(For bonus points, if anyone can tell me what the music is where Az tries to stop Crowley from leaving. It's also not "I Forgive You.")
