"Hard Times"~Good Omens Ep3 FULL Reaction
🕑 Added 2024-03-12 12:00:06 +0000 UTCApologies for the audio not being great in this one. For some reason my computer decided to swap my normal microphone settings to my bluetooth headphones and the audio was atrocious. I used the camera audio and fixed it as best I could, but it's still not the usual quality.
Also sorry for the amount of times I said Aziraphale's name wrong...

To add one thing that someone else drew my attention to is that Crowley calls out to one of Noahs Sons BY NAME! I always thought that "Shem" was an old word for "dude or pal or such..." but his name was Shem! So Crowley is playing his not knowing what's going on...when he even knows Noahs sons name and calls him by his first name!

Oh my god, I just got it. That's why hastur said in Episode one that "ciao" (=chow) meant 'food' ๐คฏ I always thought he was just randomly stupid

They're using a video file to simplify post-production that doesn't have subs afaik.

Morgan Terry: to the topic of the pronunciation of Aziraphales name, you got to watch season 2 episode 4! In the dressingroom! ๐๐ it's amazing.

Yep, so also, "You go too fast for me" stabbed all of us in our queer little hearts and we lost what was left of our ding-dang minds after THE LOOK in the ruins of that church. There is a large community of fans shipping right along with you, please don't feel you need to apologize for it. If you're interested in fic recs there's a ton of stuff we could rec once you're done with season 1 that was written prior to the release of season 2. (There are also post-s2 fics once you get there but there was more time to build up a bigger catalog of fic between what was written based on the book and the four-year gap between the seasons.) There's a fair amount that involves smut but also a decent amount working from the interpretation that they're ace, including some of my all time favorites.

Crowley's animal aspect shows through the snake tattoo on his face. It is maybe unusually subtle and less nasty-looking than the other demons, but that mostly comes down to personal preference, and for celestial beings, expectation and desire have a part in shaping reality-- they don't make it quite as clear in the show as the book. For instance in the book we're told that the reason Crowley's almost always listening to Queen in the Bentley is that, as he understands, any tape that's left in a car for longer than two weeks will inevitably turn into the Greatest Hits of Queen. Similarly, I believe any of the fallen angels could manifest wings if they wanted to, but they choose not to. Crowley has a different view on things from most demons, but for reasons of practicality usually keeps his wings out of sight also.

Thank you for the shoutout Morgan! I really appreciate it & youโre awesome ๐

To clarify two things. One, we absolutely are here for your shipping; plz don't ever stop shipping fictional characters! and two, the witchfinder guy isn't mentally ill; he is just lying about the size of the organization to scam more money out of Crowly

In traditional art, Famine carries the Scales. A symbol of hard times when bread and grain were rationed via such an instrument. Just as War had the Sword delivered to her. Pretty sure that one doesn't require an explanation. I'll admit, I did not expect you to get this sucked in so quickly. But there's no suppressing the shipper in you. I'll keep that in mind for future suggestions when requested.

This reaction makes me concerned about history education in the US

Gotta love a good ol' Bandstand Breakup I love how into the emotions of the show you're getting

Aziraphale's named is pronounced Azi-ra-fell
Mimi
The "You got too fast for me Crowley" scene is definitely interpreted by most people as actually being about their relationship! They loveee never saying what they mean directly, so definitely read into what they're saying.
Jacob Bess
Can just call Aziraphale, Mr Fell if that helps
Oz
This is one of my favorite episodes from season 1. The 28 minute cold open that goes through their meetings throughout the years is absolutely wonderful. I could watch so much more of them just interacting throughout all of human history.

So what Shadwell is doing is because heโs sticking to tradition, the Witchfinder Armyโs salaries havenโt changed in hundreds of years, so he made up a bunch of nonexistent members in order to scam Aziraphale Crowley and supplement his income, and in the scene with Crowley he looks at the table and makes up Corporal Table

Also fun fact about shipping these two, the actors actually made the interactions between aziraphale and crowly so loving ESPECIALLY the LOOKS they give each other every scene because they actually want them to be together! There's a reason they have such a popular ship name! ๐๐๐๐ your shipping heart will love this show just like mine and everyone else! โฅ๏ธ p.s I haven't read the books but im sure the actors went above and beyond with their characters

Funny thing is your pronouncing crowly correctly but not aziraphales name
LaLaVerdecia
Iโll say this before you watch any more episodes, HAVE CAPTIONS ON. Sometimes it can be hard to understand them with their thick accents so Iโd highly recommend you put on captions so you donโt misinterpret them.
