The Nice and Accurate Script Book: In The Beginning

Hey everyone, now that I've returned from the dead, I wanted to start a small series where I essentially list all things I found interesting or funny in the Good Omens Script Book episode by episode so we can talk about it ! I don't have a set schedule on when I'll update this series as I plan to read the script and post for my own enjoyment rather than for a deadline

Now, Lets begin!!

I haven't watched season one in a long time so some thing's I mention may also be in season one, but Crowley's response to Adam and Eve's rejection from Eden already opens up a lot about his character. What we know so far is that Crowley was also rejected from Heaven after his first offense and it's both heartbreaking to see how he may relate to Adam and Eve but also a little reassuring to see that he hasn't been conditioned by his experiences to see being curious and wanting to learn as a bad thing, and that he even continues to drill Aziraphale about his doubts of God minutes after meeting him

Small discovery, but I find it interesting that Crowley's wings were origionally supposed to be Grey. Maybe this could allude to Crowley being in between Heaven and Hell and having "his own side".

Learning that this song was meant to origionally play in the beginning after an Azicrow scene leaves me with a lot to think about with their relationship and how it parallels with Gabriel and Beelzebub's.

CROWLEY GETTING CHASED BY THE POLICE BECAUSE OF HIS SPEEDING HABIT ?!?

This makes me want to know what Crowley's real name/ his sigil looks like???

Crowley being relatable

I remember this being mention in the series, but I still find it so interesting and honestly scary how Hell can just download things into his mind. Maybe could be an interesting plot to explore in a fanfic?!??

Just love this scene and how they know Aziraphale's name and order :)

I love scenes where Crowley is just chaotic

Crowley being relatable part 2

It seems like the origional script of the show had alot more of a darker twist to it or had scenes that where a little more grotesque

Crowley being relatable part 3

The fact that Aziraphale says sugar rather than shit is the highlight of my week.

I also didn't take a picture of this but I find it interesting how Crowley and mice where referenced a lot of times in the beginning of the episode (and the deleted scene) seeing as his a snake and naturally their predator. Crowley so far reminds me a little more of book Crowley than TV Crowley as he still has a little more of a chaotic evil streak and I always enjoy seeing Crowley's bizarre side quests.

Let me know what you think !

So when season two came out I promised I was going to dive into it and then I proceeded disappear but I'm back. Also I've been at school and work all day so sorry if some things dont make sense, or if theres any grammatical errors.

I know I talk about Crowley alot on here, but Azi has been on my mind lately, especially regarding his religious trauma. I mean this is one of the main plot points of season two (and a little bit in season one) Azi's main problem is that he still thinks in the very black and white, kind of old fashioned way of thinking that heaven is good, and hell is bad. We see this very very often in the show whether hes saying things like this to Crowley, for example:

(And in season two when he says something along the lines of "and you are evil, I'm afraid")

It seems something that Azi battles with for a long time, from when Azi freaks out when angel Crowley even CONSIDERS questioning God, he doesn't know what to say and goes in full panic. And these little remarks through the series shows what he still (tries) to believe. But I think he really begins to question during Job not only that he must be, by default, a bad angel for lying, yet he hasn't fallen, when someone like Crowley didn't do anything as severe and yet he fell?

But the problem Azi has is he cannot let this ideaology go. I mean we see him TRY to in season one and season two, he fundementally thinks Crowley is a good person, and he knows deep down the things heaven is doing is horrible. But Azi is too forgiving (we see this with Gabriel) and too optimistic in what heaven COULD be/ what God COULD be planning.

And this dynamic between him and Crowley is really interesting, it kind of shows the two spectrums of what religious trauma can do. Crowley, for example, has accepted early on that God has abandoned him, and he has learned the hard way that neither side is good and is instead better off fending for himself. We do see in his desperate moments him pleading to God, but time and time again he is ignored, which creates this weird relationship with Azi where for 6000 years he kept this weird distance between them in fear of abandonment again. While Azi on the other hand, does not know what it's like to fall, he deeply loves God and thinks She will always be good, but he is shown through other angels horrible things, and it's confusing (why would she create horrible angels, why would she cause disease and death if she was so good?) We see him get panicky once again when Crowley brings up the question in episode three as to why did God create poverty and expect those in horrible circumstances to turn out as good as those born in castles? And Azi kind of tries not to think too much about the point Crowley is making. I think Azi HAS silently questioned Her since Bliblical times, but has pushed it down, that's how his best friend fell, and the last thing Azi wants is God to abandon him.

Finally, I also want to touch on Azi's desperate need to be good and seen as good by others. I think this stems from him being seen as a "lesser" angel, being sent to Earth as more of a sort of punishment, being looked down on because of it. The one major thing him and Crowley have in common is not fitting in, anywhere. So I think all of this causes him to ache for validation that what he's doing is right. He says in season two that since he isn't reporting to Heaven, he calls Crowley to tell him about the good things he's done. We also see during the Job part where he lies to Gabriel, that he thinks he's a bad angel and once again I feel like this causes him to feel like he must over compensate and take the pain and sadness put on to the world for the better of everyone else.

Mitskis song "I Don't Smoke" always reminds me of Aziraphale becuase of the line "if you need to be mean/be mean to me/ I can take it/and put it inside of me" because time and time again Azi goes and does things to benefit others, and not himself. He puts himself on the front lines for people who have hurt him. Gabriel is a good example of this, this guy has tried to kill him! And yet he helps him. Crowley is obviously fraustrated by this, but Crowley doesn't understand exactly WHY Azi is like this, they have dealt with their trauma differently. So of course when the metatron offered him a position in heaven he took it. Not only did it help him feel validated and finally 'good enough' but also he once again jumped in front of a bullet heading directly to the world, and Crowley. He belives he is doing good by going to heaven. Even if it hurts him, he NEEDS to feel like he is helping others, and he believes that if God technically has appointed him to such a power to make sure nothing bad happens, then in his mind she must be good then.

So so accurate

Good Omens 2 was like reading a 100k fanfic in the middle of the night that you realize was left unfinished and last updated 5 years ago, and you are left alone with this earth-shattering cliffhanger

[bagelsenjoyer14]

I find it so funny that back in 2019 when good omens first came out there were people who shipped Gabriel and Beelzebub from DAY FUCKING ONE and everyone else was like “…they’ve had like one interaction…no way what is wrong with you” and bam here we fucking are they’ve ran off together like that one Taylor Swift song or whatever
