An Analysis of Good Omens Season 2 : The Last Scene

After many months of writing, editing, and actually having the time and energy to work on this, here's my extremely long video analysing the final scene of Good Omens Season 2. I had a lot of fun making it and delving into a new interest of mine and creating something around. Also for copyright reasons. clips of the show have been heavily cut up and flipped to avoid that so fingers crossed it worked.

Also Free Palestine and continue supporting Palestine and the end of the occupation. Whilst I am a fan of Good Omens, I do not support anyone associated with the show who have taken a neutral stance on the current Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing happening in Gaza.

The whole point about Aziraphale being so excited to give Crowley the joy he lost by putting him back in heaven while Crowley was about to confess his feelings is SO poetically frustrating. Cause the only time we see him even remotely express that same amount of simple wonder and contentment are on the rare occasions he can find an excuse to spend leisure time on earth with Aziraphale. From day one he's been looking at Aziraphale with that same delight and possibility he had looking at the infant universe.

[@krisaaron5771]

One thing I noticed about the kiss: Aziraphael made no attempt to turn his face from Crowley or push him away... watch how his hands reach for Crowley, then falter, as if the gulf between Heaven on one side and his heart and body on the other are tearing him apart. The intimate contact between them only ended when Crowley stepped back, and then the "did I go too far?" look on our demon's face broke my heart.

[@nancythane5672]

Aziraphel responded to the kiss like he responded to human food. It was a first~time tactile experience, and we all know what kind of drama queen they are. If they had kissed 5 seconds longer, or Crowley had softened the kiss to let them catch up to the sensations (prolly Crowley's first kiss as well, so they're not going to have any technique at all), then Aziraphel would have prolly jumped in and we would have had an "R" rating. LOL Instead, he was completely overwhelmed and responded by pulling back into 'angelic' mode.

[@FlatSatire]

When Crowley rears back to register his hurt to "nothing lasts forever" and put his glasses back on I was one fingernail away from flipping my coffee table. It's a killer acting choice.

[@letolethe3344]

I think Aziraphale certainly knows how awful heaven can be and is desperate to protect creation, especially Crowley, from it, as a being of love. He knows how Crowley suffered in falling. He knows Gabriel's memories were going to be erased. He knows about being erased from the book of life. I think that Az believes in the Heaven's POTENTIAL or IDEAL for heaven to be "the good guys," the same way I, as an American, while acknowledging that the US was founded on slavery and genocide, still at times believe we can live up to the ideals written in our founding documents.

[@letolethe3344]

I like to think that Aziraphale miracled the song to play for Crowley as a sign he still cared.

[@ske1ita]

oh boy here we go. i know exactly what i’ll be doing for the next 65 minutes

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

They make a very specific bit about Crowley Never, Ever Remembering Anyone he Worked with Before, even for Millennia....could a Mind Erasure be hiding a Celestial Secret as to his Original Position in Heaven? 🪽

[@letolethe3344]

Your sequence of argument scene also highlights how Crowley's reflexive response to trouble is to run away or hide. From the book we know he slept through most of the 19th century. When he argues or gets frustrated, he leaves. They both have unhealthy stress responses.

[@letolethe3344]

What kills me is that Crowley could have called out "Angel!" or come over at any point, but never did. It may or may not have worked, but with the love he has for Aziraphale, you'd think he'd at least try. Maybe he couldn't swallow his pride.

[@Cutiemuffinz]

I interpreted the vicious “I forgive you” as “that was a cheap trick you just pulled to try and get me to stay, but I’m still hurt and angry at your rejection. So I forgive you because that’s what I do, but I’m still wounded.” Crowley should have known that wouldn’t have worked, that Aziraphale does not abandon his post no matter what and does what he thinks is right.

[@Starshadow]

My feeling about I forgive you - if you see just before, Aziraphale mouthed “I love..” and then said “I forgive you”… he knew it would push Crowley away. He’s still trying to protect him. He knows he’s in danger from both heaven and hell. If Crowley wasn’t going to come with him, he needed to protect him some way. He wanted, I believe, to kiss back. But could not let himself be persuaded, because it would put Crowley in mortal danger. Immortal danger.

[@firefly4029]

The “I forgive you” is all of that and more: I forgive you for being the way that you are and making this harder, but I wouldn’t have you any other way.

[@lillyf973]

The way i see this playing out in season 3 is Aziraphale is under the control by the Metatron, like you say he sees how powerful he and Crowley are together and decides that he needs to keep them apart. And Muriel chooses to help Crowley find him and bring him back with the knowledge she knows but Crowley being heartbroken takes a lot of convincing until he finds out that Azi was tricked. As you can see, season 2 left me with some wishful thinking😅

[@JohannadRobles]

I was thinking the other day... I agree that Crowley as an angel was pretty high up, but maybe not an Archangel, but knew the powers of the supreme Archangel, in the scene when he is drinking at the French establishment, he says "He could smite me... when Gabriel smites you, you've been... smited? Smote?" he was aware of the power of the Archangel

[@JohannadRobles]

The thing about “the jurisdiction of a supreme archangel to appoint a demon as an angel (or restore it)” if we go back to Gabriel and Beelzebub they could do the same, from the dialogue between Crowley and Beelzebub about extreme sanctions Beelzebub was an angel too, so, even if Crowley accepted to go to heaven… the principal thing is to start armageddon and if you refuse (supreme archangel or not) you will be punished

[@eliselianaboyd2547]

Looking forward to season three, yes we're getting season three. This is one of the best reviews of Good Omens I've seen so far. Thanks. ❤ seeing that season two is getting us from season one to three hopeful we're be getting answers to some of your questions in season three. So far this show has been fantastic and I'm sure season three will be just as good if not even better

[@tonaholcomb8602]

My opinion on the whole 'Aziraphale was out of character 'or the 'Coffee theory' is it basically coming down to the 5 stages of Grief. It was the Denial phase, we rejected reality at the immediate end of the season and we weren't able to cope until later. I think it was the strangeness with the Laudanum and that the Almond flavor discrepancy would maybe point towards Cyanide. For the Threat Theory is plausible, but at the same time Aziraphale looked so confused during the fight to fake it. We know Aziraphale cannot fake it very well and especially not to Crowley.

[@peytonb2247]

During the conversation with Nina and Maggie, Crowley does say that he and Aziraphale have been talking for “millions of years”. I don’t really know how this works out. Crowley wasn’t paying much (if any) attention to Aziraphale Before the Beginning and doesn’t really seem to remember anyone from before or during the War. But he does say it. This is a lovely break down by the way!

[@isabelpineiroalfaro7915]

Crowley and Azi knew each other a long time. In season 1 episode 5 at begging in the scene where he is getting drunk he said that: he met with Lucifer and the guys and suddenly he was doing A MILLION LIGHT YEARS free stile dive into a pool of boiling sulfur
