Good Omens S2 Ending Theories: an analysis.

ok so in the aftermath of good omens s2 lots of theories have risen about Aziraphales choices and his out of character behaivour.

i will be discussing my takes on the following theories:

The Coffee theory + book of life theory

The Lie theory

Religious Trauma theory

The Last Resort theory (my own theory)

(Please feel free to make any corrections if i get any information wrong)

Starting with the coffee theory:

(i may be wrong here, this is what i have heard, i am still currently reading "the magic trick you didn't see" essay) the coffee theory :

This theory basically goes off the idea that The Metatron has laced the coffee with some sort of poison or miracle so that Aziraphale would be compliment with him and go back to heaven. there's another theory that sort of ties in with this, in that, The Metatron is meddling with the book of life.

what we know:

Poison affects celestial beings very differently than it does to humans (as seen in the flashback where Crowley chuggs a bottle of Laudanum, a very strong painkiller, which can be toxic if taken in large amounts. Usually, for humans, an overdose on Laudanum would result in a coma or loss of consciousness whereas, Crowley got high as a kite, shrunk, grew and went a little off his rocker.

The Coffe had Almond syrup

almonds symbolise Holiness and Purity

whether this a metaphor or The Metatron being evil, we cant know

he was extremely forceful in trying to get Azi to drink the coffee, as seen in the quote "are you going to drink it?"

his voice was welcoming yet there was a slight undertone of malice

when he orders the Coffee he asks for a dash of Almond Syrup, which is like very small amount but when he hands it to Aziraphale he says it has a "hefty jigger" of almond syrup, which is drastically larger than a "dash"

"do people ever ask for death" what kind of a questions is that? its so suspicous

we all know how good Neil is at adding the little details, so why else would he include the whole coffee scene and concept?

My thoughts: i think the coffe theory could be a plausible explanation of the last events of ep6. Azira's behaviour was erratic and out of character. we ALL knew something was up when he said "Nothing lasts forever". this bitch has been wearing the same outfit for 100 years.

he also intially said he doesnt want to go back to hevean, but as he drunk more coffee he became more compliment with the idea of him leading the angels.

theres also something so deeply unsettling about the elevator scene. he's smiling, almost manically. Azira was NEVER power hungry, so him taking the job as supreme archangel, without another thought, doesn't make much sense.

i will probably add more to this but that's it for now.

The Lie theory:

the lie theory states that The Metatron never said that Crowley could become and angel again, and that Aziraphale made this up so that he would feel less guilty about leaving Crowley behind, because he knew that Crowley would never, under any circumstance, come back to hevean.

frankly, this theory makes no sense. if this was the case, Metatron's whole chunk of dialogue after Crowley leaves would be unnecessary and unjustified.

he says "how did he take it?" as if asking if Crowley was coming back

"he always did want to go his own way" implying that the offer of coming back to hevean did exist and that he just declined

"always asking damn fool questions too" talking about Crowley's fall from hevean

i, personally dont think the lie theory is a justifiable explanation for the s2 ending.

The Religous Trauma theory:

probably one of the most justifable theories, the religious trauma theory is that Aziraphale has been so brainwashed by thousands of years worth of manipulation from heaven, that he just cant see how toxic they are. he desperately wants to believe they can do good, and that he can lead the good. he wants to "fix" the system, when in reality, the system is working exactly how it was built and should be demolished, not fixed, because there's nothing to fix.

this makes a lot of sense, although it still doesn't explain the emphasis put on the coffee.

so

i present:

The Last Resort theory.

a theory of my own creation, the last resort theory is a sort of combination of the Coffee Theory and the Religious Trauma Theory. (Similar theories probably already exist but here's mine)

The Metatron knew that Azira would never leave Crowley, but he did know that Aziraphale would take the chance to "fix" heaven. he knew that manipulation alone wouldn't be enough, he's smart, and so had to add that extra cherry on top, a "class A, surreptitious half a miracle". in the last resort theory, Metatron has laced the coffee in some way to tip Aziraphale over the edge, because he knew that the offer of bringing him and Crowley back heaven would be almost enough to destroy humanity once and for all. The Metatron spiked the coffee as a last resort to tempt Aziraphale back upstairs and destroy the earth. he knows that if Azira stays with Crowley they will find a way to stop the second coming, which he cannot have happening, he needs for them to be separated for this to work. its obvious he hates Crowley, he gives him dirty looks and insults him after the confession, by bringing up one of the most painful experiences of his past, the fall. so he separates them, and that leaves us at our end.

Aziraphale smiling insanely in the elevator

and Crowley crying silently and internally in his Bentley.

what are everyone else theories?

[burning-iridescence]

part of me wants to believe in the coffee theory or the lie theory because I want the relationship to have an easy fix, and for some outside force to be the "real" problem. However, I know that Crowley and Aziraphale actually having to have a conversation without any miscommunications and figuring out where they both stand as individuals in a broken system that they have to deconstruct for themselves, and Aziraphale specifically having to work through his religious trauma, will not only be a better story, but provide a lot more depth, growth, and angst. It'll also further humanize the conflict and resonate a lot more with people (or at least with me personally) and provide a much more concrete and satisfying conclusion

this entire season proved that they are already in love with each other. they just both have so much baggage that they need to work through before they can effectively communicate it to each other

[everyscreentoobeseen]

Seeing the coffe theory go around and i think yall are missing the obvious parallel.

During the Job... wel job.. Crowley offers Aziraphale meat to get on his good side. This is the first human meal Aziraphale ever had and it seems like that was started off the unsaid partnership. One could say it was Crowley tempting Aziraphale to his side.

So what does Metatron do when he wants Aziraphale to give up his earthly ties to go back to Heaven? Gives him a cup of coffee. Most likely his last human substance for a while. One could say Metatron was Tempting Aziraphale to go back to Heaven's side.

So if you're gonna say The Coffee was spiked then you have to say the Meat was spiked.

Or maybe... hear me out..... they were both used as a visual metaphor to show how Aziraphale is very easy tempted away from the side he's currently on.....

Food or in this case Coffe 4 thought 🤔

[locklylenerd77]

I find the coffee theory considerably disrespectful to Neil and Terry's brilliance when it comes to character development and depth. Anyone else?

[lorenatural]

ik ive tried to shove this down yall's throats for three years, but since yall are suddenly researching obscure bible lore to justify your Gay Angel Show fix-it theory, I may as well say it again:

would anyone be interested in what I can only describe as "The Coffee Theory Of Supernatural"

much like the Coffee Theory, it's about the finale, doesn't fix anything but does explain a lot, and cites some weird sources.

it's also very funny in the context of GOS2

[catsandfanart47]

what is going on with coffe theory?

While I personally disagree with Coffe Theory, I've been thinking about it a lot recently and there's one aspect about it that doesn't quite make much sense. (As much as Coffe Theory CAN make sense period) How does the cyanide aspect work? (I know not all versions include cyanide) Nina wouldn't have access to cyanide and if the Metatron put it in then what was the point of him asking Nina for almond syrup? Aziraphale and Crowley weren't there so there's no need for that scene if the Metatron put the cyanide in. It just doesn't quite make sense.

OKAY

Correct me if anyone has pointed it out already, but on my millionth rewatch of season 2 episode 6 of Good Omens (needed a good cry), I noticed a detail that, I feel, heavily supports, The Magic Trick You Didn’t See theory and it is this:

I mean do I even need to explain?

It’s at the very end and shows up only for like a second but:

If life begins after coffee, then what came before wasn’t real life, but just what Metatron meddled with??

Only now, after Aziraphale has accepted his offer (& the coffee), does he stop editing the Book of Life? Letting the proper life begin??

THE FUCKING COFFEE THEORY

Hello Neil! Hope you are doing well!

Wanted to ask something about GOs2

When Aziraphale has returned from Edinburgh he said to Crowley that “nothing happened, no strange things at all”. But there was a very important strange thing- a conversation with Shax in the car, so why did he hid it?

Thank you an advance! And also big thanks for the 2 season, rewatching for the sixth time right now...

Why do you think he hid it?

[family-tree-of-ships]

Y’all I called bs the coffe theory, but y’all might be on to something ngl. I still don’t want to believe it because I want Aziraphale to go and apologise to Crowley, but I understand where y’all are coming from definitely.

[hausmakes]

and I would peel every orange for you

and I would still love you if you were a worm<3

[p4nishers]

oh my god bro im gonna say this one last time: the coffee theory fucking SUCKS it's bullshit and it'd be cheap writing and yall are fucking weak.

[inefablenat]

I hate the coffee theory and I will argue against it at every opportunity. Having said that this is so fucking funny

so what I’m getting is that any character played by David Tennant should stay away from coffee that’s the second time coffee has lead to the downfall of David Tennant
