What’s your favourite line from good omens?

The invisible and unbreakable one that joins Crowley and Aziraphale.

Describe this movie, wrong answers only >:D

This masterpiece was born on @riathedreamer s Discord Server and is based on her FanFiction ‘Are we meant to read the Footnotes?’

(No ornithologists were harmed during filming this movie 🐦)

Imagine in season three is Crowley has just been refusing to talk about aziraphale to anybody, and then at one point he just snaps and shouts and rambles on about how Aziraphale left him and how he feels about him. Then imagine that Crowley turns around, and aziraphale is stood next to him and just says ‘oh Crowley’ (in the same tone as ‘oh Crowley, nothing lasts forever’).

hate april fools it always leads to stuff like this. let's keep that day exclusive to booping

hello. I just started following the news and now there is a rumor that the third season of good omens has been stopped. is it so? And the reason for this is David? Thanks for the reply ❤️

I have a bunch of automated News searches, and none of them have ever shown me anything like that. Then again, it's just after April 1st, so your news outlets may be a little sketchy.

Gabriel’s (missing) cross

Let’s put everything we know about that spooky statue of the Archangel Gabriel in one thread to make the conversation about its possible meaning as a Good Omens 3 clue more structured. Starting off with the relevant part of the official commentary from X-Ray:

Douglas Mackinnon got one thing wrong in his part of the interview — Gabriel wasn’t carved by “some guy in Italy,” but a British sculptor and prop maker David Field working as a part of the team at 3DEye in London.

Technically speaking, it’s a gorgeous piece of hand-carved expanded polystyrene with a clay sculpted head on top of it — even if the Archangel’s smug likeness isn’t that pleasant to look at, all things considered. The scenic artists from 3DEye made it look like stone afterwards.

The body itself took ten days to sculpt and is a faithful copy of the famous statue on Ponte Sant'Angelo in Rome called Angel with the Cross by Ercole Ferrata. It stands on the inscription “Cuius principatus super humerum eius” (“Whose government shall be upon His shoulder”, Isaiah 9:16), and this quote makes much more sense for Gabriel than the cross in his hands. The usual iconography of the Archangel uses a trumpet or a white lily instead.

Ponte Sant'Angelo was originally used to expose the heads of those sentenced to death — each of the angelic statues on it carry Arma Christi, the Instruments of the Passion. Like the Second Coming, what seems to be a hopeful message to the Chosen Ones can also be a warning for the others.

The statue of Gabriel, first shown in full in the cemetery scene of the Good Omens 2 title sequence, reappears at the very end as a part of the bridge leading to the biggest Easter egg — at least according to Peter Anderson, the animator behind it — which is the lift in the background, implying how we’re getting closer towards the Second Coming. Notice how the cross broke down in half at some point between these two scenes!

And it disappears in the plot as well: Gabriel’s memory depicts it only from his point of view, with the camera deliberately moving slightly to the right and stopping at his eye level. The centered, establishing shots show the statue with empty hands as a bookend.

I believe that this cross is meant to serve as a foreshadowing, a reminder of the absolution of sins and eternal life through Christ’s sacrifice and Second Coming. We see it only through Gabriel and Aziraphale’s eyes — when Beelzebub looks at the statue, the cross is not there.

As seen in the BTS photos and videos, it’s not an editing error, but a deliberate positioning of the physical props on set. The cross was clearly meant to be a removable part of the statue and displayed in a specific way to convey a message to the audience.

The question remains: is it a reassurance, something to look forward to, or maybe rather a warning?

Not helpfully at all, the traditional use of angelic imagery in Christian cemeteries matches both interpretations.

He’s looking for a boop, can you help him?

[crowzirawho]

And the Lord booped unto the Angel that booped the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming boop which was given unto thee?

And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have booped it down some where, boop my own head next.

And the Lord did not boop him again.
