Speaking of 'PITP', was it just me or was that other bloke on stage with Davi and Michael having a bit of a flirt with Michael when he mentioned his accent? Can’t say I blame him

Hah. Well, it's interesting that you mention that, Anon. We're coming up on the one year anniversary of PiTP, and I remember that moment very well, too. I'll put up video here for folks who might not have seen it or need their memory jogged:

I think the thing for me is that the other guy--who, by the way is Andy Clarke, who is a writer, broadcaster, and host in the UK--was indeed flirting with Michael. It might have been meant as a "joke" or bit, but the sexual undertones were resoundingly clear. But Michael--who is by far one of the most twinkly/flirty humans in existence, and who has made no secret of his attractions to men--not only doesn't flirt back, he doesn't even look at Andy.

To me, this felt like another instance of Michael not even seeing anyone else when David is around. You know? Just like what we saw on the GO 1 press tour, and even the interviews they did for season 2. Yes, they're in the middle of hosting an event, and yes, there is an audience present, but I can think of very few (if any) other contexts or situations where Michael has been openly flirted with and not flirted back, regardless of who else is around. Yet put him next to David, and all of Michael's focus goes to exactly one place, and one place only.

What's also interesting is that the selfie of Michael and David from the end of the night was actually taken by/with Andy:

The other thing about Andy Clarke is that he is gay, and has a husband. So it makes you wonder what Andy saw as he approached Michael and David for a picture. Could they have been holding hands? Or maybe Andy recognized a couple when he saw one, even if none of them said anything. And in this picture, Andy is in front of them, with Michael and David pressed closed together in the background, leaning in to each other. It certainly paints a thought-provoking picture, for sure.

But yes, to your point, Anon, I don't think any one of us could blame Andy for flirting with Michael, and saying what so many of us (including David, with his long-running Welsh kink) have thought and felt about Michael's gorgeous Welsh accent. Definitely a night to remember, without question...

What if the big four met the trolls how do they react?

It would be a pretty pleasant experience.

#if you compare this with his room at the Jedi Temple its even more heartbreaking #cause the Jedi temple room is big and spacious but its so dark and feels like the walls are closing in #ironic that his slave hovel was so bright and airy in comparison #;-;

carlotta seducing the relationship therapist is SO on brand I love her

Seducing her therapist for the specific purpose of planting bugs, so that she can listen in on other couples' therapy sessions for juicy secrets.

As one does when they're an icon like Carlotta.

everyone talks about momily with a toddler daughter but can we just imagine emily with a teenage daughter for a sec??? a teenage daughter she gets to love & and listen to in the way elizabeth never did. a teenage daughter that comes to her and talks to her about ANYTHING. a teenage daughter who’s her mini-me and her bestfriend. a teenage daughter who allows her to have a bond she never had with her own mom

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I have to say it and here seems to be a safe place, so here goes:

With the exception of Bildad and the final 15, Season 2 could have been an email.

Literally. Crowley walks into the bookshop looks at his phone, says to Aziraphale "Apparently Gabriel and Beelzebub ran off together."

Que the metatron and the entire meltdown from there, and the rest of season 2 is finding out wtf and the 90 minute thing is just domestic life at the south downs and smut.

But that's just me.

Hi Anon. Well, I'm glad that you feel my blog is a safe place to share your opinions--that truly does mean a lot to me. I'm not sure how unpopular your opinion is, though, as I've heard others express similar sentiments/dissatisfaction with the second season. (Also "Season 2 could have been an email" just flat-out made me laugh, so thank you for that...)

I think part of the problem with GO 2 is the difference that we see when thinking of GO season 1. Because even though we know who wrote the script, GO 1 is still the product of the book, and so much of that strong voice and world-building feels like it came from Terry Pratchett. There was a unity of vision and place, and the plot (however occasionally convoluted) made sense and advanced with each episode.

With GO 2, though, that unity and voice were noticeably missing. We know that season 2 was meant to be a "transitional" season, to bridge the gap between S1 and the sequel that Terry and NG had planned (that would then become S3). But multiple writers were brought in to write the "mini-sodes" in each episode of S2, and it created a shift in tone that left the season feeling wildly all over the place. These mini-sodes ended up feeling like little more than filler as the larger plot (which was arguably a lot less interesting) plodded on in the background, and the whole season suffered as a result.

The overall problem was that pacing issues meant that it took much too long for us to get essential information, and the relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley was almost relegated to the back burner in favor of focusing on Beez/Gabriel. And that, perhaps, is the most egregious issue with S2--that NG had this incredible chemistry between Michael and David that had absolutely made S1 what it was, and all but wasted it with certain writing choices. In fact, much like S1, it was Michael and David who elevated what they were given far beyond what the writing might have allowed.

I am not trying to diminish whatever direction Douglas Mackinnon may have given them, of course, but so much of what we saw--1941 (which is still one of my favorite Ineffable Husbands eras), 1800s Scotland, and everything in the Bildad sequence--came so brilliantly to life because of Michael and David. And in spite of other plot lines and characters (in the case of 1941, the zombie Nazis) threatening to drag it down. So yes, the overall challenge with season 2 seemed to be information being delivered unevenly, over too long a period of time, with too many characters that did not prove consequential to the main story, and with too little payoff in the end.

As for the 90 minute movie, I think now we'll have to have a resolution to the situation with Metatron, which unfortunately will cut into the limited time that we now have. But I would also love to see a focus on domestic life/smut at South Downs, or at least something that takes the relationship between Aziraphale and Crowley seriously--which is very much the main thing that is important to so many of us--and uses Michael and David's chemistry to its fullest effect.

Those are my thoughts on season 2, and in response to your ask. Again, I am sure you are not the only one who has felt this way, and hopefully folks will now feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts as well. Thanks for writing in! x
