Good Omens 1x1 Reaction "In the Beginning"

[@FH-rp6zs]

According to a footnote in the book, the third baby did indeed get adopted and things were fine for him, so rest easy. :)

[@Sabbathtage]

He even won prizes for his tropical fishes. We do see the boy in the book, he's the leader of Them's rival gang.

[@MrRjhyt]

@@Sabbathtage I read it differently. I thought the reader was invited to make those assumptions, and the book left it darker and more mysterious. I could be wrong, I haven't looked it up.

[@theresagalvosXD]

@@MrRjhyt at first it actually was pretty dark. the book said that they like the reader's version more than what actually happened. but later on it was revealed that he's the leader of the gang that rivals with the Them

[@megelizabeth9492]

Yeah, it's something of an orphaned set up.

[@Gooberwares]

F H oh thank goodness I was so scared the nuns killed the baby

[@AspieMediaBobby]

Love how Adam and Eve are black since Africa was the first place human life developed historically.(Although Adam and Eve almost certainly didn`t exist as described in The Bible)

[@LofiandJinxie]

I did like that little detail, as well. -Lofi

[@christopherkraemer4023]

its believed by theologists that The Garden Of Eden is located somewhere underneath the Euphrates river

[@AspieMediaBobby]

@@christopherkraemer4023 A lot of my ancestors are from that area!

[@lamelwinston7101]

Ikr, I was very intrigued by that little bit of historical accuracy. It made me more curious as to where the show was going. I've never read the books so I had no clue. Lol

[@JackieMartin1974]

And the extra baby SPOILERS does win prizes for his tropical fish... you do get to meet him in the book.

[@qwertyTRiG]

See? You were *right* about the fish!

[@Who-Am-I...]

I love the book sooo much! Sheen and Tennant are PERFECT as Aziraphale and Crowley. And they were extremely faithful to the book. I loved it! The only bits i was sad they left out from the book were the Hells Angel's and the televangelist. Those bits were extremely funny in the book.

[@unicyclist97]

Shadwell's interaction with Agnes, and the Greasy Johnsonites would also have been nice to see.

[@sanityisrelative]

@@unicyclist97 in exchange we got the *spoiler probably* half hour deep dive into the history of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship, and I'm pretty okay with that trade off.

[@laurenjohnson5941]

The thing that I like about their setup in this show is that they knew how complicated it was - like, this entire first episode is basically the first 30 pages of the book, or something, it takes up so little space but it’s SO IMPORTANT :))) loved your reaction 😂😂

[@LofiandJinxie]

We completely agree, the setup is so important to the rest of the story. I also love that after the first episode they dont waste anytime getting into the nitty-gritty. Overall, so amazing. -Lofi

[@JackieMartin1974]

It is even better after you've read the book. There are a lot of references that Neil Gaiman left in the show that are unexplained (like all the Queen songs), for the book readers.

[@cutiepie120048]

Really? I WAS wondering about all the Queen music 😂

[@josie8997]

I read the book after watching the show and it honestly helped me follow the books narrative, which i found somewhat confusing at times (that may have been the fault of the audiobook) experiencing both definitely enhances the enjoyment you get out of the book and the series and i'm very glad to have watched it, since i might not have picked up the book until ages later, otherwise

[@Scarshadow666]

Jackie Martin Definitely true! While I love the series for adding some new world-building stuff, a lot of the side characters are better expanded upon in the book. 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@nickrowley5579]

They pronounce Crowley correctly in the show. That’s also the correct pronunciation of Aleister’s last name.

[@LofiandJinxie]

I love the amount of detailed thought that went into this show. Even though half the time I forget the proper pronunciation, so I end up just switching back and forth hoping I get it right most of the time. -Lofi

[@antonbrakhage490]

A nice little detail: The scene where Crowley and Aziraphael discuss killing the boy is set in the Crystal Palace Gardens. The sculptures in the background were what they thought dinosaurs looked like then, based on incomplete fossils- in fact they were the first dinosaur sculptures ever displayed. Its a really great reference- in addition to the obvious jokes about dinosaurs and Biblical Creationism, they're a metaphor for God's ineffable plan. People thought that's what dinosaurs looked like because they could only see pieces of the whole picture, just like the angels and demons think they are following the Plan but are only seeing part of it. I don't know if it was intentional, but it really works.

[@foxisconfused]

that's really cool!!!!

[@DansTravels5823]

They parodied a lot from The Omen from 1976. It adds another level to the enjoyment of the first episode.

[@LofiandJinxie]

I don't think I've ever watched the Omen from 1976. I'm going to need to watch it and rewatch episode 1. Maybe I can convince Jinxie to watch it with me, but she is not a big horror fan. -Lofi

[@DansTravels5823]

@@LofiandJinxie If you can convince her I hope y'all will do a reaction.

[@davidwebb4451]

There is also a neat Doctor Who connection with the tenth doctor David Tennant starring in "Good Omens" and the second doctor Patrick Troughton having a fairly major role as the priest Father Brennan in the 1976 "The Omen" film.

[@Anna-zi7sx]

I’ve been starved for reactions for this. Subbed

[@majora748]

that is a T.A.R.D.I.S i see

[@TheRedLittleGirl]

This was a really charming reaction, I really enjoyed it! :D Definitely going to check out more of your stuff as well as your continued journey through Good Omens, something that has become one of my new favourite tv shows.

[@LofiandJinxie]

Thank you! We're happy that you enjoyed it and if you have any suggestions or ideas for other shows let us know. We love to hear people's thoughts.

[@flamingicefox01]

I love this show so much, I read the book when I heard they were making the TV show and I love them both. I think that you should definitely read the book as some quite funny parts are left out of the show and it is really well written.

[@LofiandJinxie]

Truth. I still haven't had the chance to finish rereading it, but I'm going to have to put in the time once we finish the series. I know, Jinxie, is really excited to read it for the first time. -Lofi

[@KatieVanHelsing]

Camera died just like that nun! XD

[@jameshughes7946]

You guys are really aiming to be my favourite reaction channel 😂

[@LofiandJinxie]

Thank you! If you have any shows you think we'd enjoy reacting to and you'd enjoy watching, let us know.

[@0okamino]

Fun reaction! I think they've really done justice to the story so far. Neil Gaiman had a rather active hand in this, and that has, over all, given me great confidence.

[@LofiandJinxie]

Yeah, I always love when shows let the original creators be part of the process. -Lofi

[@owaissaaltheadickey9341]

The show was the first time I had heard of Good Omens too. I recently bought the audio version of the book (bad eyesight) and I love how they introduce the basis of the story and the characters in a way that's not confusing or intimidating to new folks like me. I was familiar with a few of Terry Pratchett's and Neil Gaiman's books but never knew that they had written books together until now. I love these geniuses and the show's cast/crew are brilliant 💕💕💕💕👍

[@Mewz123]

"This is the worst song ever" Me: How DARE you insult Nanny Ashtoreth's beautiful song! lol jk, ha ha :D

[@IberianGeek]

Hi! I just met your channel (with this video). This duo are two sweet puppies. I can't wait for S3. Greetings from Spain.

[@BE-ew2pt]

I love seeing people who aren't that familiar with the book react to it (though I know one read it at some point) :)

[@LofiandJinxie]

Yeah, Jinxie has never read it. I read it awhile back, but a lot of the details I have forgotten. I know once we finish the series I'm going to have to reread it all over again. -Lofi

[@raindownchoas]

Love that you guys actually discussed things, most reactors don't.

[@Gg31p42]

Yay so excited to watch along with you! I loved this show and I’m always up for watching it again ( it stays very close to the book) ☺️

[@johntaphouse5235]

They filmed several of terry's books and i hope they get round to "Reaper man" my favourite

[@rayagancheva1927]

Loving the reactions! Looking forward to episode 2!!

[@IberianGeek]

I can't wait for S3! They start to film in January.

Read the book yonks ago, and more than once. Not had a chance to see the show yet.

[@sanityisrelative]

I'm in the beginning of a rewatch of this series, but I guess I'm watching you watch it first. Then I'll watch it again.

[@LofiandJinxie]

I'm also going to have to rewatch it after we finish it. It's so good. -Lofi

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Oh good ive been meaning to watch reactions for this, thx so much :)

U guys should react to Outlander. Fantastic show. And not a lot of ppl are doing it...

I do need to watch Outlander. Both Jinxie and I have only seen a couple of episodes each. It is definitely going on the list! -Lofi

[@swwagner1]

You guys are near Vancouver? So am I! Love it.

[@MrRjhyt]

I re-read the book before watching, and it is incredibly accurate and fun. The odd thing dropped here and there but genuinely a triumph.

[@LofiandJinxie]

You always have to leave something out when making a book into a movie/series, but I agree, they did an amazing job with this show.

[@therediodeerman5811]

Read Good Omens recently and wow did they censor a lot of it

[@vicedea]

The 3rd baby in the book is just fine and is adopted.

[@LofiandJinxie]

And raising tropical fish!

[@evek9043]

If you haven’t ever seen doctor who it would be so cool to see your reaction to the show at least to the new one that continued in 2005

[@LofiandJinxie]

We have seen most of the reboot of Doctor Who. Well, I haven't had a chance to watch the newest Doctor yet and Jinxie is still only partway through Matt Smith. So not all of it. I would totally be down to rewatch them though as it's been a few years since I've watched it in full. -Lofi

Cool likeable reaction to one of the best shows I've watched in a long time! Instantly liked & subscribed even before you said it!:D BTW Defnitely check out the original Omen movie because half of this episode is basically a parody of that!

Why does every reactor or team of reactors mess up Crowley's name, at least at first? People, if it's that confusing, LISTEN to how THIS CHARACTER or the characters who know him pronounce his name! It's not that hard! Geez! And btw, sushi IS gross. You can have ALL of my sushi forever. (Sorry, my laptop is acting up and I'm grumpy today, ignore me. About sushi, not Crowley's name.)
