I don't know if anyone has talked about this yet, probably someone did, because it's technically from season 1, but... here I go
Adam's Powers, reality and Crowley
Adam's powers are the first thing I want to talk about,bthe voices that he hears when he's sleeping
What the voices are saying is make it real, make it happen. And if with this we go to the two explanations of Adam's powers (both are delivered by Crowley) that I managed to remember:
No one will notice anything. It's reality, angel. And young Warlock can do what he likes with that. Wheter he knows it or not
Adam, reality will listen to you right now. You can change things
We can conclude that what the voices were telling Adam is the most summarized version of his powers. In the book of good omens it is mentioned several times that Adam has extreme confidence in what he says, everything he says is said as if it were real
When Anathema gives him the magazines, the others question the veracity of the magazines and he says that things on the internet may be made up, but what is in the magazines is real
Adam has total confidence that it is real, and that mixed with his powers, is what makes all these things happen. Basically Adam's powers only work if he has 100% confidence in what he is saying.
That's also why when he's confronted with Satan he has a hard time making it real, because it's a hard thing to make real. But I assume his powers make it so that every time you say it, you gain a little more confidence. After all, all the other things have come true. That gives you quite a bit of confidence
I speculated a bit about Adam's powers here. But now we only need this part
There are two other instances where Adam is not present, and we see reality do something strange. In both situations we have an explanation of the facts, provided by God.
Crowley has something no other demons have, especially not Hastur: an imagination. Right now, he's imagining that he is just fine, and that a ton of burning metal, rubber and leather i a fully functioning car. He had started the journey in his Bentley, and he was damned if he wasn't going to finish it in the Bentley as well
Perhaps the recent exertions had had some fallout in the nature of reality, because while they were eating, for the first time ever, a nightingale actually did sing in Berkeley Square. Nobody heard it over the noise of the traffic, but it eas there right enough
I don't think it was God who created the nightingale, she seems thrilled to see it there. I feel that somehow, something different happened
And I can't help but connect that mystery to Crowley, first of all because he is the one we see basically manipulating reality in the same way that Adam does to keep the bentley running, it has also been speculated multiple times that perhaps there is a much stronger connection between the song a nightingale sang in berkeley square and Aziraphale and Crowley.
So I think it would make complete sense that if Crowley has the ability to manipulate reality in the same way that Adam does, he would do so subconsciously to make a nightingale appear in Berkeley Square at that time.
Adam has been using his powers unconsciously most of his life, the only time where we see him do it consciously and with difficulty, is when he's telling Satan that he's not his father. And that scene is very similar to Crowley telling the Bentley that he's not going to burn.
Basically both circumstances have equivalents with Adam's powers.
Now to wrap things up, I'll simply take the pleasure of mentioning the other strange things we've only seen Crowley do:
Stop time
Test if a miracle works by touching... nothingness.
