This is one of the top sad moments in the whole series. When Crowley says he won't take Aziraphale to Hell because he wouldn't like it there, it's heartbreaking.

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).

Crowley is even more lonely than Aziraphale. Because Azi still wants to be part of Heaven, the good guys in his concept. But Crowley doesn't want to be with either side. Crowley only has Aziraphale.

It's sweet how Crowley sees Aziraphale as a kindred spirit.

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.

The music here is very reminiscent to the ending song of the last episode. And I think they did that purposefully. The music this series I think is easy to miss, but it was so so well done

"I'm not taking you to hell, Angel." "Why not?" "Well i don't think you'd like it." Its honestly so cute that his reason to not take Aziraphale to hell is because he cares about what Aziraphale likes.

Crowley is not supposed to be there, but he is because he knew Aziraphale would feel lonely 😢

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. It’s one of my favorites. And they’re both such geniuses, their acting is so good and so genuine and like. Ugh. And when Crowley said “Lonely? Yeah.” The resignation in his voice. How familiar that was to me, it’s insane. This scene is just altogether so beautiful.

The delivery of “But what am I?“ is just too amazing it hurts.

One of my favorite scenes from this season. Aziraphale looked so scared and then so relieved, it was very sad to watch. (Imagine thinking you are going to hell for saving children. Religion is really fucked up at times.) I also loved how Crowley's response here contrasts with Aziraphale at the end of the season wanting Crowley to go back to heaven.

​@@user-lf3kr1nq2dYes, I really liked that too! How he first looks at Crowley, then around himself, then up towards Heaven. As if he couldn't really believe he wasn't going to be punished for thwarting the Will of God.

They both are such amazing actors. They break my heart every times.

Following rules and protocols "as far as we can" and no more, makes us individuals.

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).

Ooo, good take. With all this religious trauma being so loud in our faces, more subtler themes like these go unnoticed by me unfortunately. Azi just doesn't want to feel alone 😢

This is my Roman Empire.

When Aziraphale wanna cry, I do too😭

What if God gave consciences to Aziraphale and Crowley when She made them, and only those two? All the other celestial beings are perfectly happy being blindly loyal to their respective prime directives whereas the Ineffable Husbands seem to both have independent moral compasses and identities separate from their tribes.

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. ❤)

Moments like these really hammer home how much Aziraphale struggles with self-worth and guilt because of Heaven. Hell, even before the Beginning, before any angels had even fallen yet, he was still worried about getting into trouble.

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.

Oh my GOSH what a great scene! Though poor Aziraphale, truly thinking he had fallen and Crowley had come to take him away oh godddsddd 😭😭😭😭😭

this scene hurt so much

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".

Before I saw this scene, I worried that there might turn out to be some plot twist in which it turned out Crowley was actually trying to corrupt Aziraphale, a bit at a time, over the ages, possibly with an aim to sending him to hell, but clearly he is too "nice" for that.

Thank you for the video. I like it so much when Crowley is soft and gentle to Azi and they both open up to each other ❤. And their acting is just superb, brilliant, amazing. I am deeply moved 😢.

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.

god this is just beautiful. one of the best scenes in s2

Crowley's heart breaks for Aziraphale My heart breaks for them both

Music so beautiful 😔💞💞💞

“I’m a demon, I lied.” Crowley knows how horrible and lonely his existence is. He lied to Aziraphale because Crowley knew Aziraphale would worry and feel sad for him. Crowley wouldn't lie to Aziraphale except here to protect him and to ease his worry. Crowley doesn't want Aziraphale to suffer with this knowledge just because Aziraphale loves him.

Crowle always being there for Aziraphale … trying to make things easier gentler for him… even though he’s the tempter, little demon that he is… and secretly wants to play with someone’s soft blonde curls…

Crowley looks so much like Eric Idle in some scenes of The Life of Brian :)

tennant acting as crowley is purefully amazing

This was definitely one of my favorite scenes in season 2. Very somber, yes. But, maybe a little hopeful in that, through this, A and C started to become closer. Kindred spirit, somewhat. 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.

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?

I love it how azi n crowley sit is romanticize

wrenzie introvert

It's sad, but knowing the future, I don't think it's that bad. Cause instead of being in heaven, working for those self-centered brain-dead angels. He gets to work under Arthur Pendragon, gets to see Hamlet, attends Marie-Antoinette's party and I think he almost gets guillotine. Not to mention his prophecy collection.

Does someone know the name of the song that plays in this scene?
