      Huh? He seems calm and resigned to me, which makes the line much more powerful than any signs of emotion could possibly have been. Could you tell me at precisely what moment (as in, minutes and seconds) you think you hear his voice crack? I've listened several times now and can't detect anything of the sort.

    1:19 the moment when Crowley stop to making fun of Aziraphale and start to "comfort"him. People...this is the only one real moment of when they share their really feelings.... we can see the fear in Aziraphale eyes and the desperation in his voice...and we can see Crowley show his loneliness. They talk to each others here,but for real.
    One of the best moment in the entire season. It feels so real,their feelings feel so real.

      It’s because they are real. Great performances are great because they are true. Yes, the characters and circumstances aren’t real, but that’s just the setting. Actors find the true emotions in themselves and audiences almost always notice when the Truth is present.
      It’s why good acting is actually very hard. You have to have real feeling behind scripted lines (and sometimes whacky red beards).

    This is one of Aziraphale's defining qualities that I don't think he gets enough credit for. He may often be conflicted due to Heaven's conditioning, but at the end of the day, he cares about others and does what he believes is right. He lies to save those children fully believing he'll be damned because of it. That's extremely courageous of him and one heck of a sacrifice.

    I just noticed something while rewatching for like, the fourth time. in the backgrounds you can see that at first (0:32) behind aziraphale is a brighter background with trees and the shore, representing heaven. behind crowley are higher, darker mountains, representing hell. the camera switches between both of them with their backgrounds. but then, as crowley sits down and starts talking about being on his own side (0:41) we see behind him an in between; not as dark, not as light. he has excepted that neither hell nor heaven is right. aziraphale hesitates for longer, before sitting down and realizing he understands crowley. (2:19) then they are both shown with this “in between” background. (2:29) they have quite literally found middle ground. i can’t. this show has so much thought and effort put into every moment.

    I like how Crowley quips that he lied about being lonely because he's a demon, but really I think it's just because previously, he wasn't ready to let himself be vulnerable with Aziraphale yet. This was the first moment when he realized he found someone like him --- someone who wasn't just content to follow the rules of the system when it didn't align with what they believed. It made him feel validated, and it made him feel safe, which allowed him to open up and show his true feelings for the first time.

    I love this scene so much. I keep coming back to watch it, and see something different every time. The heart-wrenching despair of Aziraphale expecting to be dragged to hell. The way Crowley walks and his robes move. Crowley chuckling at Aziraphale’s cuteness and naïveté that can’t possibly be demonic. (Wish Crowley had risen to hug him instead! But their relationship is undeveloped and hadn’t reached that stage of understanding.)
    Crowley hiding his pain. Aziraphale’s relief, then confusion.
    Watching today, I think there’s room on that bench for me - imagine sitting between them as a mediator!
    Or even to have the traditional images of demon and angel twin consciousness, one on each shoulder.
    (Amazing writing, amazing actors, wonderful set, appropriate music. ❤)

  • @letolethe3344

    One of the saddest scenes in GO. Aziraphale looks so alone to start. His heartbreak and confusion over being pulled in two directions to do what is "right" (allow children to die or disobey god) is palpable, if a bit naive. Crowley's voice breaks as he admits he is lonely. We get the idea of just how isolated each of them are. The pain of being all alone. I think this sets up to some extent Aziraphale's reaction to Metatron's job offer. Anything to belong, to be supported by a community, not just one person (Crowley).

    It's nice though in the beginning Azi is sitting there alone, in the end not anymore, they both sit on the stone, Crowley adapts to him. Yeah, at first, he is a bit mean. I don't know if I could resist the temptation either because Azi is so damn cute in that moment. But he softens immediately when he sees Azis really suffering. He is even sitting down, looks to me he tries to take away the threat and slows down the moment. That is a subtle but soothing movement. And it's not too much talking, just gentle voice and sharing/bearing the moment and pain with Azi. It is about loneliness, but Azi trusts Crowley enough to ask him intimate questions, ask for help, a solution...I can imagine the vast see and desert represent the loneliness at first, but that changes in the end. I hope so at least. Because oceans and other vast waters also stand for peace and tranquility, longing in a positive way for the world?
    I am curious where they are. Maybe outside of eden, looking at a "new life ahead".

  • @jacquelinejae
    @jacquelinejae Před 5 měsíci +4

    I heard/ read somewhere, and I constantly wish that I could recall so I could confirm this is true, that this scene was meant to be the final shown on screen, but stuff had to be rearranged. Originally the climax where the demons appear outside the bookshop was a bit more elevated, as in literally the bookshop is floating above whickber street around rubble and such, a la concept art for season 2. I kind of think of this as the final, pen ultimate moment of the season in my own head, where aziraphale and Crowley are honest about their feelings and circumstances in a way they haven’t been in season 1/2. Here Crowley gives aziraphale the grace he deserves, that he’s good and couldn’t ever really go to hell’s side, and is indeed to good for heaven, and feels the same loneliness that Crowley feels in hell. Having a scene like this appear after the breakup feels especially poignant, where in this moment they are expressly kind to one another but still at a distance. Aziraphale invites Crowley to heaven because he thinks that’s the way the can finally work together in a way they’ve been denied for so long. He sees how similar they are, how totally unique their situation is save between each other at 1:49, and doesn’t want Crowley to be alone. Aziraphale says they need each other and he’s right, but wants it to finally be on his own terms, not declared by circumstance where they have to hide behind arrangements to be around one another. Crowley wants to be together period, but knows the can’t be, not really, in heaven. Obviously the last shot of the scene harkens to the start of both seasons, and I like it as opposed to the split scene we got, though both have the same effect.
    My absolute favorite part of this scene, and the season as a whole, is David Arnold’s soundtrack. In the soundtrack, this scene and the immediate aftermath following the kiss, are married in spirit. I believe the song which is playing during this scene is called ‘Fallen Angel.’ ‘Don’t Bother’ plays after Crowley leaves and it’s just aziraphale alone in the shop. I’m not that much of a musician nor music theorist, and realize that both are musically based around the main theme, but I’m reminded of the other piece when I listen to one. Especially so the violin motif which plays at 1:39 during this video, Don’t Bother seems to be a narrative continuance of this moment. If you listen to the Don’t Bother piece on Spotify, 0:39 seconds in is what I refer to. It’s pretty amazing to have such talented cast, artists and crew consistently contributing such meaningful material to good omens over these years and so look forward to season 3.

    The view from behind them, the horizon in the distance.... That's the wall of the garden of eden. That stone they're on. Instead of sand it's water, instead of standing they're sitting, it's *different* but it's still *a new beginning.*

      Like Eve with the Apple.
      IMMEDIATELY AFTER, he lies, for his own plans, seemingly against God. He tasted the food and conceived of sin (within himself specifically).

    Man, can you imagine Aziraphale's anguish here? Unlike Crowley, he doesn't yet realize that the "will of God" isn't always the right thing. He thinks righteousness is going by the book. Yet his morality and ironically his humanity pulls him in the opposite direction and he's constantly in a tug of war over his idea of right and wrong and his desired course of action. How awful must that be?

    That Crowley even sought Aziraphale out makes me think he must have known(or suspected, at least) that the angel would be feeling upset(to put it very lightly) over having deliberately lied to Heaven. That was rather sweet.
