REACTION | GOOD OMENS | 1x2 | The Book

[@letolethe3344]

I didn't realize this until I read the book, but the plants thing features largely there. So it's not as random as it might seem.

Jeffery Archer is a british polition turned author who is... not well liked to say the least. Hence the joke about his books smelling evil.

[@BritanyBinges]

Ah, okay. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying! :)

[@morphman86]

I don't know if that gives the right image. He's an objectively evil person. He stole £30 million from his own charity while giving only £250k in aid to the refugees. He went to prison, where he was allowed out for work and decided lunches with friends and business trips to promote his own diary was a good use of that privilege. He's also a lifelong peer in the House of Lords, despite his conviction and his multiple stints in the courtroom and his stepping down from his MP role after bankrupting hundreds of people in a Ponzi scheme. But yeah... A little disliked 😂

[@SkillsLoading]

@@morphman86 hence why I put to say the least. I didn't really want to get into a diatribe on his various douche baggery.

[@haven.lights]

So excited to see you continued watching it!! Since you watched season 2 as well already I'm assuming you get into the show more at some point and I'm happy to hear that since I love it SO MUCH. I was at a dr who/good omens convention yesterday and david was there too and I can confirm he is as lovely irl as everyone says he is. I will never get over having actually met him

[@BritanyBinges]

If I had to choose, I think I would have to say that I enjoyed season two even more than season one so, it's definitely safe to say I got into it. :) That's amazing that you met and that he was lovely! I didn't realize he did conventions. I just assumed he'd be too busy.

[@haven.lights]

@@BritanyBinges you could tell he genuinely loved being there and meeting fans so I think he makes sure to make time for cons

[@sallyatticum]

@@BritanyBinges David tends to do conventions when he is filming on location and has weekends off. I have two pix with him and one of them he has bright red hair, as he was filming Good Omens at the time. He also did NYCC while he was on stage in Brooklyn. He will be back in Texas next week, I think. Not sure why he has chosen now to do them. Not sure if he is filming something that hasn't been announced, or if he just felt the need to make cash between projects.

[@HuntingViolets]

Congratulations on getting to the convention. Very cool.

[@odayin_gold]

Ooh, I was waiting for your GO reactions to continue! Excited to see if you can get into it and love it as much as the fandom.

[@BritanyBinges]

Well, if it helps you figure it out, I was incredibly excited to hear that season three was confirmed. :)

[@rlvids9889]

Crowley is playing out his trauma with the plants, creating his own garden/Heaven to be God over and casting out anyone who “can’t quite cut it” as an example to the others, like God did with him.

[@BritanyBinges]

Oh, that's a really interesting way of looking at it that makes total sense. Thanks for sharing!

[@noelmcnamara9197]

Love the pics of you with Jared and Jensen ❤

[@BritanyBinges]

Thanks! I actually have another one with me and the two of them that I just never got printed and put up. I should get around to that. lol

[@nazimelmardi]

When Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman wrote anything it turned to gold. Neil Gaiman still continues to impress us. And his tv shows where he actively takes part are magnificent too. You really should watch Sandman too.

[@BritanyBinges]

I've actually been REALLY wanting to watch Sandman but it keeps losing in the polls over on Patreon. :(

[@nazimelmardi]

@@BritanyBinges you are the queen. Watch it because it’s REALLY one of the best shows no matter what, it will make you cry. And it’s a groundbreaking comic. If you look it up (without starting the episodes) it has a big audience. Because it invites in Neil Gaiman’s book fans. They come to watch it here with you and they will give you incredible insight to his work. Sandman is not any comic, it considered one of the best fantasy stories written. Period. And Dead Boy Detectives just joined the universe on Netflix. S2 is coming fast to Sandman. Neil Gaiman’s personal project that is. It’s not always how patreons work. Over the years booktubers learned too that some authors have strong fandom. Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is one. But as we know that is not adapted properly yet, Good Omens is the only book that is available in a masterful style. Neil Gaiman’s Sandman has its own fandom they are really well educated not just in comics but several are well read even in Shakespeare and so on. His work is real literature not any DC comic. Kick it in and you will get new people here. I suggest in pair with the Dead Boy Detectives as it’s proper now and it’s a fun show. Really very cool. His hand in it too. Darker YA type thing. But!! characters from Sandman in it! So watch that first. Still it gives you now extra attention because of being new and the fans are watching it here.

[@nazimelmardi]

@@BritanyBingesand? You are the Queen. Please don’t take it as playing smart. But Patreon, even when you are really big (like 500k subscribers and a big patreon) booktuber, it’s only a support network. We give you the real thing. After all from where do you get your members? And that being said… Goos Omens and in particular Sandman are (as of course you know) not just TV shows but masterpieces of their own in literature. Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is his real work and in case of Neil Gaiman? Sandman. They collaborated art where they became friends is Good Omens. How it was written? It’s a story itself. But… Sandman has its own fandom, way bigger than Good Omens. And now Dead Boy Detectives is out just a few weeks ago, joining to the Sandman universe so the attention is on Sandman again. You can gain Sandman fans here. My advice is: do not try to watch everything in Patreon in case of Sandman in advance but do it with interaction of the community here. It’s not a fun show, it’s a literal artwork. It can make you cry. For real. And Dead Boy Detectives has some characters from it and it’s a dark tone YA show absolutely fun for your taste based on your comments. Kick it in and go with the comments this time. And this is like One Piece. Comes with its own fandom. That’s why you lost the poll. You don’t have the book readers in.

Jeffrey Archer was a Conservative MP who was convicted of perjury. He also writes novels, generally regarded as poor quality.

[@TheFalconerNZ]

Some people don't understand what a spoilers are as expectations are spoilers. I do hope all these with be available for non-members as I am unemployed and can't afford any memberships but love this show even with it being more targeted at mature kids/young adults.

[@BritanyBinges]

Thank you for understanding about spoilers. I completely agree that setting expectations can be a spoiler of sorts. The Channel Members get access to the reactions as soon as they're ready (which is why they can go ahead and watch all of the first season), but a new reaction will be posted publicly every Monday. So, no worries. You'll get to watch every episode. (And I appreciate you doing so!) :)

[@TheFalconerNZ]

@@BritanyBinges At least I can help earn you some ad revenue & thanks for your content, always fun

[@HuntingViolets]

Glad to see you back with this.

[@PowerSpirit50]

Anathema's wardrobe had no right to go this hard.

[@TLC62]

I don't understand why it's so hard for some people to pronounce Crowley's name. Just listen to Aziraphale saying it. "Crow" (like the bird "crow") + "lee". (Yeah, I know there's a character on some other show with that name spelled the same but pronounced differently. That is a different character. Listen to characters on THIS show saying his name. It's not difficult.)

[@BritanyBinges]

That's not how brains work. If you say/hear something pronounced a certain way thousands of times over the course of multiple years, it takes a minute for your brain to get into a habit of pronouncing it a different way. Also, it's pronounced different ways in the beginning of this show, AND I made the effort to get into the habit of pronouncing it correctly, so you need to chill.

[@saltyshieldstan]

Glad to see you continued with the show! Great reaction as always! Since you mentioned paranormal investigations and liking spooky things, I'm curious to know if you're familiar with the show Lockwood & Co? I may have mentioned it in your comments before, can't remember 🤣 but it's a very fun and spooky series!

[@BritanyBinges]

So glad you enjoyed the reaction! :) Lockwood & Co has been mentioned, but I was told it was canceled after just one season.

[@lovelyfanatical]

@@BritanyBinges It was, but it's a really good season and still very worth the watch IMO!

[@channyh.221B]

In 2019, I have watched the first series at least 4 or 5 times cause I thought it was great. Now that I know you've seen the whole show I can say I've seen the second series, ...well... it's unhealty at the least, how much I've watched that. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER !!!! But that's ofcourse my personal opinion, though I'm glad you've enjoyed it too.

[@BritanyBinges]

When I recorded the reaction for the season two finale, I said I *thought* I liked season 2 better than season 1. After going back and editing all of season 1 now, I *know* I liked it better. Don't get me wrong, this was a fun season, but my attachment to the show and characters deepened so much further in season two. I'm excited to revisit it for the time as I start editing those episodes. :)

[@derekoliver5772]

It's a great story, I hope you stay with it. Peace & be well. P.S. Great reactions.

[@BritanyBinges]

So glad you're enjoying the reactions! I've actually already reacted to all of seasons one and two. :)

[@noelmcnamara9197]

Your going to love season two in my opinion it’s better than season 1!!

[@BritanyBinges]

You're not wrong on either of the things you said. :)

[@HuntingViolets]

People are really bad with spoilers. It's so annoying!

[@BritanyBinges]

Yeah, my Patrons are usually really great about it, but the comments here on KZbin get a but iffy at times. That's why I decided to go ahead and record all of seasons one and two before continuing them on here. I've found that being considerably further ahead on Patreon (while understandably frustrating at times for those on KZbin) has been a HUGE help in cutting down on spoilers. The spoilery comments are still made by people who don't realize I'm so much further ahead, but (most of the time) I've already seen the thing they're talking about so it's usually not a big deal.

[@12chapin]

Hello 👋🏻. My theory is that Brian is the surplus baby, what you think?

[@BritanyBinges]

It's been a couple of months since I edited this episode, so I don't remember who Brian is. Who is he?

[@TLC62]

Brian is one of Adam's friends (the "Them"), the boy without glasses who was licking the ice cream and getting it all over his face in one scene. He is not the surplus baby. In the book it's mentioned that another boy, "Greasy Johnson", the leader of a rival gang of kids, was the surplus baby in the baby switch.
