Crowley: He is not a bit of a side! He is too pure for that! He is just... Some Angel I know.
Nina: Do you realize that you sound terriblely in love, yeah?

Then, too, at sea—to use a homely but expressive phrase—you miss a man so much. A dozen men are shut up together in a little bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and months see no forms and hear no voices but their own, and one is taken suddenly from among them, and they miss him at every turn. It is like losing a limb. There are no new faces or new scenes to fill up the gap. There is always an empty berth in the forecastle, and one man wanting when the small night watch is mustered. There is one less to take up the wheel, and one less to lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feels the loss.
—a sailor's diary entry, on losing a shipmate, ca. 1834 (from Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana Jr.)

As I rewatched Good Omens 2, I realized, as Aziraphael put it, We have been played for suckers.
But tough-chick-in-distress, you said, tell us something we don't know.
Wait, hear me out.
I was rewatching Good Omens 2 when my PSTD (not joking) for the first watch receded. I noticed something. Now, I am sure many people have pointed out this before and with better evidende, but here I go.
Hasn't been Crowley a little bit dull in this season? More sharp? More "evil" until it plays out he is not? More quiet? Less dramatic? Less facial expressions? Yes, Crowley is unyielding loyal to Aziraphael, but doesn't seem he less "eager golden retriever" and more "reluctant cat black" friend?
That is because this time we are watching their relationship from Aziraphael's point of view. So, Crowley is undoubtedly evil until he proves he is not. Crowley is absolutely disinterested in Aziraphael in comparision to, you know, the Universe or Gabriel's beauty. And just a general sense of nonchalant, cool, calm and collected Crowley tagging along, giving only cut nods of approval and disapproving "tuts". The little bits of approvals he gives, Aziraphael drinks greedily on them.
Compare all of that to Crowley from Good Omens 1. The Crowley who speaks first in Eden. Who checkes out Aziraphael shamelessly. The Crowley who says "You can't kill children" and takes Jesus in a road trip. The Crowley who positively ogles at Aziraphael when they eat together. The Crowley who begs to run away together.
Look at the whole Blitz affair. In GO1, Crowley made quite the melodramatic entrance short of actually proclaming his undying love. Then, he saved the books. Offers a ride home. We see the soft smile of Aziraphael. And scene.
GO2 resumes the scene just there. Crowley saved the books, Aziraphael smiles softly and takes the ride home. One would think we will see more champion-doting Crowley here.
But no. We see a nonchalant Crowley who brush off any offer for repay: not with modesty but utterly desinterested. His only concern now that Aziraphael is safe is make business. He doesn't even spare a look to his Angel in the car. In fact all along this mini episode Aziraphael refers to him, to them, as friends. Multiple times making a pause before, like it is the second word which comes to mind. And Crowley doesn't bat an eyelash at all of this.
Why? Because we are watching the whole season from Aziraphael POV. Is the the first one from Crowley's? Well, it certainly could by that way, being Crowley the first one introduced and the actual book being more Crowley leaning. But I highly doubt it would have been intentional. Unless Good Omens has been planned as a two/three seasons since the get go.
In conclusion:a)maybe we can expect Good Omens 3 from an outsider POV, where both of them, at the same time, look painfully in love but are supernaturally oblivious to this? b) Can you imagine the whole "how is you naked man friend?" scene from Crowley's POV? I asure you that he is not only raising a eyebrown there.
