What I expect in Good Omens S3, a personal list to come back to and check when the finale will be out:
Crowley being a wholesome demon parent figure to Muriel -like he has been to Jim, but actually even better- guiding them through understanding humans and how to keep the bookshop in pristine conditions, bc deep down he is an optimist.
OR
Crowley resting inside a black hole (to try getting his pain sucked out of himself by the extreme black hole physics thingie. He knows how it works better than me for sure) with Muriel occasionally calling him because they need help with the bookshop.
Nina and Maggie help Muriel with understanding humans since both of them now know their true nature and are chill about it.
Aziraphale missing his books and casually finding the Book of Life, discovering that the ugly ass bitch the Metatron messed it up.
Everytime Crowley sees lovey dovey people he miracles something to ruin their moments.
The same scene of Bullet Catch, but it's Aziraphale that holds his flaming sword and points it at Crowley, who says "I trust you" and holds his neck open for him.
Saraqael helping Crowley and Aziraphale in their own way, but defenitely helping.
Fem!Aziraphale & Fem!Crowley flashback.
Crowley driving the Bentley in heaven or something totally crazy funny action with that awesome car.
All of the most important characters of both seasons making a cameo to help Crowley/Aziraphale/both.
Aziraphale with 3 pair of wings and more eyes than necessary when he gets pissed off real bad.
Crowley using his snake form more.
Gentle hand holding at the Ritz / head on head on shoulder on their bench in St James' park.
Crowley's flat becoming a luxurious jungle since tending the plants is his coping mechanism and oh boy he needed something to deal with his massively hurt feelings.

Sorry, y’all, it’s been a week. They don’t pay me to think about GO, but they should, if only to get their money's worth.
@katalina27ua Great point! I haven’t charted all the mentions, but they talk about Gabriel on the street and in the pub and Jim inside the bookshop. As if the bookshop is under surveillance or as if they want people to overhear them in public.
@somebebop @queermarzipan @fellthemarvelous The only visible, tangible result of the lightning is the Maggie and Nina lock-in, so it's definitely in-bounds to wonder about Nina and Maggie. Does one or both have powers of lightning, too? Do they need to be protected or distracted? Does something bigger hinge on them falling in love?
@yowlthinks It drives me crazy that the Bentley is left on Whickber Street and then is suddenly parked elsewhere. Maybe the Bentley is now so magical that it will appear anywhere Crowley wants. It does move after Aziraphale parks it on returning from Edinburgh.
@melbatron5000 I’m honing in on the miracle and these adjacent scenes as the first majorly obvious “wrong” signal from the show or, put another way, the first point where plot A and B could diverge.
@dunkthebiscuit I have a headcanon, with not much evidence other than this discontinuity, that something else happens to upset Crowley before he gets back to the Bentley and that the "I was wrong" dance is for some other reason than the fight we see.
All: At first I was thinking that the point of the lightning was to clear the street, but it doesn’t do that. So other potential purposes:
To lock in Maggie & Nina for their own protection, or to keep them from interfering, or because they have to fall in love for some bigger reason we don’t know yet.
To attract attention to Crowley not from the passersby but from someone else, probably another angel or demon.
To verify that Crowley was there at this place and time (suggesting this is not Crowley, but potentially Aziraphale or Gabriel or Crowley v2 from another timeline).
To cover up the 25-lazarii miracle or to perform the 25-lazarii miracle (probably covering something else up in turn).
Another point about the lightning. We see three other beings do something with lightning: Beez and Shax in s2 and Gabriel in s1 (it’s how he arrives at the airbase).
Also remember that we see the purple plume clearly emanating from the bookshop but Shax says “very near your friend’s bookshop.” Also that “only the mightiest of archangels” could have performed the miracle.
Was the lighting the miracle? Did it cover up the miracle? Was it performed by an archangel and, if so, who?
Hive mind, I need help. I'm sure we've talked about this before, but my brain is spinning on it tonight. As always, Occam's razor says that the face value interpretation is the most likely option. But, if we entertain something more unusual (please don't tag or ask Neil about fan theories) --
What is really happening in the lightning scene?
Tumblr media
GIF by fuckyeahgoodomens
Here are my issues:
Crowley has big feelings, yes, and he's never very careful about hiding his otherness from humans. But this is such a flashy move to make in public!*
The writing is a bit clunky. Good Omens characters rarely tell us or each other directly how they're feeling, which is how we end up arguing over lines like "You go too fast for me" and "I forgive you." But here he straight up tells us he's angry.
The lightning only hits the coffee shop, no other buildings on the street.
During the lightning, some people on the street appear to be frozen but not everyone*, and Maggie and Nina aren't frozen. Afterward, the crowd walks on, unphased.
The sky brightens back to daytime and Crowley walks on. He does not go to the Bentley. We see the Bentley through the coffee shop window for the rest of the scene where Nina and Maggie discuss being locked in. But the next time we see Crowley, it's dark and the Bentley is parked in the mews.
What I'm suggesting here is that this scene is faked. Crowley is acting, and overacting a bit. To what end?
*These could cancel each other out. Let's say Crowley is genuinely losing his temper, but not enough so that he forgets he needs to momentarily hypnotize humans in the vicinity so they don't see this display. But it doesn't work on everyone because some people on Whickber Street are actually demonic/angelic spies on the hunt for Gabriel.

spn meme
@zmediaoutlet​ tagged me in this really hard meme thing omg yay
what season did you start watching supernatural? Season 9. October, 2013, a rerun of S09E02. I was wearing green nail polish. I knew it was meant to be when they mentioned Eugene, Oregon, my home town. 
who was the first character you fell in love with? Dean
who was a character that you hated at first but grew to love? Sam. After pirating TV from the neighbor so I could watch Survivor and accidentally coming across SPN and watching 75% of that Devil May Care, I torrented the first 4 seasons. I’d seen gifs and read a few fics and even wrote my own, but I hadn’t seen the show, and the Sam that I was (not-really-at-all) familiar with was not at all like first season!Sam. My expectations and illusions were destroyed and honestly, I couldn’t stand him. Then Asylum happened and I finally understood where he was coming from. Plus I didn’t take myself too seriously bc I long ago figured out that the characters in books and TV and movies that I disdain are usually the most like me, or ones I had something to learn from. 
which character would you most want to be in a long-term relationship with? Donna. God, isn’t she just a fucking peach? I like silly, happy people, plus I bet she tastes like a peach, too. 
if you could go on just one date with one character, which one would you choose? Bobby.
what would you do on the date? We’d go somewhere nice. Where he’d have to slick his hair over and wear a suit and I’d push my tits up to give him something to look at and we’d spend a long ass time drinking Belvanie and eating really fucking good, what? Italian, yeah, seems right. And just talk about shit. Go to the place already having eaten, just so we can sit and drink til we’re drunk then eat til we’re sober again and getting back towards tipsy by desert, but still able to drive back to his place in our fancy fucking clothes and I’d make him take me around the junkyard and tell me about cool cars and where bodies are buried. There’d be dancing in his living room to Joni Mitchell and him reading some poems to me. Maybe some tears. More drinking. Say we’re gonna watch a movie and drink coffee but there’s just more talking about shit and looking in books and eventually he’s passed out on his couch and I tidy the place up and leave without saying goodbye, but of course I’d call and tell him I had a great time. Wow, I didn’t have to think about that at all ahha
which character would you most want to be like? Crowley
which character would you most like to see brought back from the dead? I gotta agree with Z here: Frank. 
which character would you most like to punch? I wanna punch Dick.
who is your absolute favorite character? Sam
which “big bad” do you think was the worst? Gonna go with the “lame” interpretation of this and say Amara. I just could not get into her in the least. Her creep-on-Dean factor was pretty high though, which I can get behind. 
which character are you most like? Jody or Ellen. I’m def. a ‘mom friend’. Plus, I’m scary af. I’m confrontational, and there’s lines I just can’t have crossed, and shit I’m afraid of and not ashamed to admit. 
what death hit you the hardest? Jo and Ellen. They were both so brave. I cry every time. 
what season finale hit you the hardest? Weird, ik, but the end of S6 bc I had no fucking clue what was going to happen next, like I literally could not fathom for the life of me what the actual fuck. Sam was all fucked up! Cas was God? Dean and Sam and Bobby were all in immediate danger from their now possessed friend??? What the hell even were the Leviathans??! I think I actually made some hurt baby deer noise when the episode ended. That, and S1, I remember jumping out of my seat when Baby got creamed, totally did not expect that, and Sam was being such a boss standing up to his dad and looking back at Dean and BAM!! Awesome. 
what are your ten all-time favorite episodes? Asylum, Sex and Violence, Baby, Sacrifice, On the Head of a Pin, Wishful Thinking, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Dark Side of the Moon, Clap Your Hands If You Believe..., and Devil’s Trap.
what’s been your favorite season? 7 bc reasons. 
who is your favorite angel? Balthazar. So catty, so suave, so good.
who’s your favorite demon? Meg. From beginning to end, she was a complicated yet single minded little creature. Tough, cocky, full of feels. 
who’s your favorite evil character? Alastair. What a fucking sleaze bag, but I believe him when he says he and Dean were close in Hell.
do you have any supernatural ships? OTP Wincest, but I’m down with Dean/Benny and Megstiel. I mean this is shipping specific, not like, what rarepairs I read, bc that’s a grab bag. 
who’s your favorite supporting actor? Jim Beaver. Him and baby horses are pretty much the only reason I go on facebook. 
what’s your favorite quote from the show? You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other, right?  
if you could cast one famous actor in an episode of spn, who would you chose? Uh somehow this is the hardest question. I’m showing favouritism I guess and it’s a debate how famous she is, but Monica Bellucci as some kind of benevolent manifestation of Gaea
if you could write your own episode, what kind of creature would you like to see included? aumakua
who’s your favorite girl that dean’s hooked up with? This last girl, the blonde waitress. She fell for stupid lines (which I have done so many times omg Silver get a life your tolerance for bullshit is so high), and he looked sweet and pleased the next morning and she left him smiling. 
who’s your favorite girl that sam’s hooked up with? Piper. She fucking knew better. Smart girl. 
what are some of your favorite convention moments? Jared tearing up at the AKF candles, and the two JIBCon hugs.
if you were going to guest star (or be a recurring guest star) on spn, how would you want your character described? I would be described as, “I might have found a case in Oregon. Premonitions. Cassandra complex come to life, maybe?”
what do you hope to see in the next season? I have zero desires. I got 90% of what I wanted in the season finale this time, so fucking just whatever is fine with me. Okay okay god that’s a shitty cop out answer. I want Castiel to fucking stay dead. At least our version of Cas. If they wanna bring out some nutso crazy badass Rift!Cas, cool, whatever, okay. Please Kill Mary. Or leave her in the Rift, idc., just god, go away. Unless you’re gonna make Dean cry more >.> 
if you had to choose…
bobby or john? Bobby
bela or ruby? Ruby
jess or madison? Jess
jo or lisa? Jo
charlie or kevin? Charlie
balthazar or ash? Balthazar
cas or crowley? Crowley
ben or claire? Claire
jody or donna? Jody
sam or dean? Sam

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
THE DEMISE OF ENTERTAINING POLITICS IN LOUISIANA!
I have a sad announcement to make. Politics is just no fun anymore in Louisiana.
Reams of books have been written about the colorful characters that ran the Bayou state throughout its history. And the average citizen got involved, attended rallies and actively supported their candidate of choice. Few states could match the intensity and enthusiasm that was a part of Louisiana campaigning. The state’s two favorite pastimes were LSU football and Politics.
The two Longs who served as governor wanted to stay involved right up to the time of their deaths. Huey Long was shot and died September 10, 1935, eleven days after his 42nd birthday. His last words were, “God, don’t let me die. I have so much to do.” Younger brother Earl Long was famously quoted as saying: “Oh Lord, when I die, let me be buried in Louisiana, so I can stay active in politics.”
Retail politics used to be a basic part of any campaign. No statewide candidate would fail to attend the Rice Festival in Crowley, the Watermelon Festival in Farmerville or the Strawberry Festival in Hammond. There were thousands of hands to shake and voters galore who loved to be part of the campaign season. I experienced the buzz and thrill of campaigning during my 28 years in public life. Politics was just a lot of fun.
Most of my colleagues who served during my tenure going back to the 1970s ran for public office to serve and try to improve the quality of life for the voters they represented. There was little thought of financial gain. When I was first elected to the Louisiana State Senate back in the 1970s, I was paid $600 a month, with no office, staff or any other financial help. I represented a large part of Northeast Louisiana. My phone bill in my district averaged $900 a month. A campaign contribution of $100 was a big deal.
Today a political campaign is all about who can raise the most money. TV drives the debate. Political rallies are few, and you would be hard pressed to see a candidate for statewide office throwing candy and riding in a local parade. If a candidate is leading in the polls, he or she often chooses not to even show up for debates. So the public loses interest, voter participation is down, and voter distrust is on the rise.
Political parties in Louisiana are becoming more and more obsolete. It has become obvious that any allegiance to a particular party is over. Democrats make up 43% of registered voters, but a significant number rarely vote their party affiliation. The fastest growing numbers of registered voters are independents that list themselves with no party affiliation.
An interesting side note is that the last time a president was elected in the country who was neither a Republican or a Democrat was Louisiana native Zachary Taylor, who won on the wig ticket back in 1848.
One of the problems in Louisiana and across the country is that extremists in both parties are dominating the political agenda. Or as veteran Republican consultant Mac Stipanovich puts it, “Somehow you’ve got to destroy the myth that you don’t win if you’re not crazy enough.”
And working across the aisles with a legislator from the opposing party is a thing of the past in a number of states including Louisiana. A few years back, legislators would fight hard for their political beliefs during the day, but then spend time socializing and working towards some type of compromise when the working day was done. No longer. Today, if a lawmaker from the opposing party disagrees or has a contrary opinion, then he or she is dead wrong and often is considered a political enemy.
There’s a Governor’s race in Louisiana this fall that, so far, few seem to care about. The campaigns are just, well dull. Don’t you miss the rhetoric and musings of Huey, Earl, Jimmy Davis, and even ole’ EWE? Sad to say, the thrill is gone. Let’s hope we can at least cheer on a winning Fighting Tigers team this fall.
