No but can we please address the "do we know a Jim?" in episode one? Crowley doesn't ask "who's Jim" or "do I know a Jim". If Aziraphale knows a Jim then so must he, though he might not remember which one is it now.
All I want is a fun Good Omens sitcom sort of show with Crowley and Aziraphale living in the bookshop with their two adopted children/angels Muriel and Jim
Sometimes imagination's nice, and sometimes it's like "Crowley's napping on the couch in the bookshop, then he hears Aziraphale's voice and comes over to see if he wanted something, he sees something shining through the bookshelves, warily he approaches and sees Aziraphale choking on his blood, he's been pierced with a flaming sword through his back by Gabriel. Crowley is shaking and throws himself at Gabriel in fury, Gabriel turns his head, eyes glowing purple, and slashes him with the sword next. Crowley wakes up from a nightmare gasping, and screams when he sees Jim nearby, who wanted to ask him something about books" like wtf?!
Yes, Gabriel was awful while he was stuck in Heaven reigning over the Host. But, when he chose to leave and trust in another being, he changed.
As terrible as the former Supreme Archangel was to Aziraphale, he still knew that Aziraphale was who he would put his trust into. Not God, not fate. Aziraphale.
He also knew that Aziraphale and Crowley were close. If Aziraphale knew Gabriel’s secrets, Crowley would too.
Becoming Jim was the most vulnerable thing Gabriel could do. In that vulnerability, he found humanity. Nuance. What was truly important.
And Jim chose to sacrifice himself to protect everyone else. Even though he was under Aziraphale’s protection (which is hugely important from a historic and cultural viewpoint), he voluntarily released himself from that protection and stepped out into the demon throng.
He did this while he didn’t remember his relationship with Beelzebub.
He did this not knowing what Hell would do to him.
And this was probably the most angelic act he’d ever performed.
Guys. Hello. Aziraphale opened his door to Jim and he immediately recognized him as Gabriel. Later that day Crowley came over and saw Jim and made it VERY clear that he immediately recognized him as Gabriel. BUT NO ONE ELSE SEEMS TO RECOGNIZE JIM AS GABRIEL??? The demons literally SENT HIM BACK in the shop when he surrendered himself in his ridiculous furr coat (affectionate). The angels saw him and talked to him and brushed him off time and time again. In the final scene Micheal said "Gabriel is here?!" When he was STANDING THERE THE WHOLE TIME.
WHY WERE AZIRAPHALE AND CROWLEY THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO RECOGNIZED GABRIEL I DON'T UNDERSTAND
I guess it's time I drew some *other* characters from this show. 🙃 These two are (eventually) going to be part of a two-page spread in my sketchbook, which I've been gradually chipping away at for a while. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to draw these past few weeks, but hoping to post the whole thing soon!
In episode two, when Shax approaches Crowley about the miracle, and he says “how do you know I didn’t do it?” I always found it weird that she didn’t have a response or retort. Even if she didn’t understand that it was sarcasm or something, she would’ve asked (like she has previously).
But why not then?
I think when they performed the miracle, and crowley hid “Jim” from Heaven and Aziraphale hid him from hell, I think aziraphale also made it so that demons wouldn’t know crowley did a miracle.
Idk if this holds up, but I’m keeping the head cannon because it just clicked for me that that’s why aziraphale doesn’t seemed as (outwardly) concerned for crowley’s safety - he’s already protected him.
AND I THINK THE BITCH DID THE SAME THING FOR THE IDIOT
Because sarquiel sarcastically says “don’t tell me you did it”
Both sides assume Gabriel had to have done the miracle. To the point where no one believes that either of the husbands could’ve done it themselves.
