OP, can you confirm/deny any relations to a certain Bergholt Stuttley Johnson, formerly of Ankh-Morpork? If you haven't collaborated yet, you should.
my family is fucking addicted to macgyvering and it's becoming a problem. every time something in this house breaks, instead of doing the sensible thing of replacing it or calling someone qualified to fix it, we all group around the offending object with a manic look in our eyes and everyone gets a try at fixing it while being cheered on or ridiculed by the rest.
it's a beautiful bonding activity, but the "creative" fixes have turned our house into a quasihaunted escape room like contraption where everything works, but only in the wonkiest of ways. you need a huge block of iron to turn on the stove. the oven only works if a specific clock is plugged in. the bread machine has a huge wood block just stapled to it that has become foundational to its function. sometimes when you use the toaster the doorbell rings. and that's just the kitchen.
it's all fun and games until you have guests over and you have to lay out the rules of the house like it's a fucking board game. welcome to the beautiful guest room. don't pull out the couch yourself you need a screwdriver for that, and that metal rod makes the lamp work so don't move it. it also made me a terrifying roommate in college, because it makes me think i can fix anything with enough hubris and a drill. you want to call the landlord about a leaky faucet? as if. one time my dad made me install a new power socket because we ran our of extension cords

Episode two:
I like how the cold opens so far have been instances of Aziraphale and Crowley doubting God, so poetic!
Also Gabriels hair in the before times? Bad vibes. I didn't like it. (Michael on the other hand was slaying)
I like Shax!
Maybe it's just me but I find the little visual/verbal jokes (why am I writing this like there are many other types of jokes) really funny
like the scroll unfolding around the mountain, or Gabriel making a noise while walking
So there has been an Archangel Miracle, meaning that (unless Sandolphon is hiding in their walls) Gabriel is still an Archangel, tho he might not be aware of it
Aziraphale really said "My Archangle first, your love life second" to Maggie
THE MATCHBOX WAS FROM A PUB IN EDINBURGH! THE RESURECTIONIST! I SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING!
Saraqael making herself a ramp bc Aziraphales shop isn't wheelchair (is it called a wheelchair or something else? Pls somebody tell me if so!) accesible is just what I expected from an angel
THE FLY AGAIN! This might acutally just me thinking I've connected the dots lol
Okay so one of the Newspaper clippings is german and it should read 'Jeden Tag' (every day) but the J is missing so it reads 'Eden Tag' (eden day, from Garden of Eden) and then goes on with 'Der Wahnsinn des Wirts' (The Pubowner's Madness/Insanity) meaning there might be something more going on in the Pub in Edinburgh
Aziraphale: "We must make Maggie and Nina fall in love" Crowley, an avid consumer of RomComs: "I get it"
Also I love the gentle Parent/strict Parent good cop/bad cop routine they have going on with Gabriel
The "You can't kill kids"-Crowley of Season 1 vs. the "I long to destroy the blameless kids of blameless Job"-Crowley of Season 2
'Wow the son of Job looks familiar' *pops on X-ray* 'Oh he IS familiar*
THE LIZARDS?? or where they Geckos i don't remember BUT OMG?
So it was Crowley who got Azi hooked on human food. Feels appropriate
Also I am not going insane, Job's wife was in Sandman as Miranda Walker! I knew she was familiar!
Thinking about it it makes sense for Gabriel to remember what god said since he is the messenger!
The pub is at 66 Goat Gate this is the phone number thing from S1 all over again
"Our car!" "MY car!"
Gabriel having some sort of reaction to 'In the beginning'? Much to think about...
The last scene... so cute!
Random Things about GO S2 (Episode by Episode) as I' watching it
Episode one (spoilers obvi!!):
Crowley as Angel being so proud of his creation is soo cute!
THE STAR RAIN AND THE WING GIRL I'M SCREAMING!!!!!
I was so excited that I was legitimatley surprised by the opening the cold open felt like half an episode
Maggie is me: she is sentimental, she struggles with money, she has an unrequited crush on a pretty woman she doesn't know how to act around, she is socially awkward, I feel so represented!
NOT ME THINKING THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER BABY IN THAT BOX LMAO
I'm really happy to see a bit more of heaven in this season, and not only because I have a crush on Uriel, I already found them intriguing last season
NOT THE FORCED PROXIMITY BETWEEN MAGGIE AND NINA!!! NEIL WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME??
Also Nina has a partner? Let's hope that's what she calls her cat I'm rooting for this
I saw the Fly in Crowley's car and immediately was like: Beelzebub?? And then ze actually was there! Also the animation was really cool
Do I miss AMM in this role? Yes. Is Shelly Connoly doing a good job? Also yes! I'm just glad to have my other crush here as well!
Good Old Fashined Lover Boy in the first episode? We are being FEED
The I-Was-Wrong-Dance? Iconic. Old Married Couple Behaviour.
Okay so Nina actually has a girlfriend (Cats can't text) but she seems super toxic so I'm still rooting for her and me Maggie
I expected it but Crowley saying "That worked!" and the cut to alarm bells in heaven was hilarious
Also I love the little leadership struggle between Uriel and Michael
