It's actually one of the things that annoys me about the miniseries. In the book, as Satan is emerging Adam winks and everything disappears in a puff of smoke. Mr. Young drive through it and start yelling at Adam and Them. It didn't end with a bang. It ended with a small adjustment from a remarkable kid who wanted his real dad. That climax in the series was too big, too flashy and I think take away from the adorableness of of the original ending. Also, Azeraphil didn't have to threaten Crowley to face Satan, nor did they give the idea to Adam. I just find the ending too Hollywood.

Yeah them putting a bad cgi Satan in just to be puffed away wasn’t my favorite directing choice. I would have personally preferred something more unique than the depiction we got. A chasm opening up with distant flames glowing at the bottom and a voice speaking through it. Great shadows gathering in the middle of the airfield. Maybe a giant hand reaching up from hell. Nothing that needs a huge budget to pull off, but not a Big Red Goat Demon that feels so generic these days.

The "All music turning into Queen in Crowley's car" joke is there, it's just not explained. At the end before Crowley drives into the wall of fire, he puts in a CD of classical music (Mozart I think?) which turns into Queen's "I'm in Love with my Car" over the course of his conversation with Hastur.

@Rosalind-butNotThatOne

Fun fact! There are two times in the show where we see/hear music actually turning into “best of queen” (as opposed to queen just being played): the first is in episode 1, where “fantasia on a theme” morphs into “we will rock you”. The second is the one you mentioned. It’s the only time in the show that we see the full joke-a Mozart cd is put into the car, but it has turned into best of queen instead, and plays “I’m in love with my car”-and it’s also the only queen song featured in the show that ISN’T on a queen’s greatest hits album.* Anyway I think that’s a fun fact but it doesn’t really come up so I’m always looking for places to share it. *(Except “lazing on a Sunday afternoon,” but it’s not the queen version that plays and it’s not in the car, so it’s more of an Easter egg than a continuation of the joke)

Interesting addition: Neil has mentioned in interviews that they had to expand on the relation between Az and Crowley, so he took the basic plot lines of a romantic comedy (the unexpected meeting, the falling out, the reunion etc) and made that their main dynamic. That’s why there might feel like chemistry, although it might be platonic. Or ace.

I'm such a softie, the fact that Mr. Gaiman became involved to fulfill his friends last request, AND they saved a seat for Sir Terry Pratchett made me tear up. I need to read more of their books aaaa

In the 90's, at a small bookstore in Palo Alto, California I met an English gentleman. As I usually did, when meeting an English person, I mentioned that I'd lived in England for a little over a year in the late 60's, in a small village named Peppard Common, where I started going to school (1st grade). He was the first and only person I'd ever met who knew the place I'd lived, and played in the chalk pits. (His observation was that, saddly, it'd become "developed",) I hadn't read any of his books at the time, (since corrected... many times, over and over,) and so I wasn't struck dumb by awe and admiration at the name of Terry Pratchett, but I did remember the name and the encounter. (I'd been there to get his signature on a book for my oldest child.) Since then I've read, and re-read "Good Omen's" many (many - literally 100's) times, and though my evidence is thin enough to pass between atoms, (the fact that Sir Terry knew the place,) I like to think of Peppard Common was Lower Tadfield. As always thank you so very much for the video.

Nice little coincidence - though I don't live in that part of England now, I grew up near Peppard Common, at Emmer Green and Tokers Green. All three villages are now pretty much swallowed up by Reading, I believe. I also spent a few years living near Palo Alto at Santa Clara and San Carlos (a little further up the peninsula). Sadly, for me, I didn't also have the honour of meeting Sir Terry as you did, but like you, I've always imagined Lower Tadfield as being a composite of the villages I was familiar with in my childhood.

"I'm Crowley, and this is my hetro life-mate, Aziraphale." Loved this one, Tenant and Sheen just absolutely nailed it. Rest of the cast was great, too. No idea what they'll do for a second season, but I am eager to find out.

Aziraphale and Crowley are honestly two of my favorite fictional characters ever - especially Aziraphale, a cinnamon bun who, in my opinion, could make battles stop and its fighters go plant flowers. Crowley is fantastic, too; his tough guy attitude hides what a softie he really is. Their friendship is truly one of a kind. They are polar opposites in every way, they don't always see eye to eye, but they deeply care for one another and are able to focus on what makes them similar rather than what makes them different. We should all be so lucky to have one like it.

The scene I missed the most, was Agnes Nutter looking up and shouting: "And goes for you too, old fool!" The revisit of that scene gave me chills, and I was really hoping to see that in the show.

John Finnemore is an amazing person! When my dearest friend was dying in 2014, I played Cabin Pressure, a radio comedy Finnemore did, to keep myself sane. In January of 2015 I wrote to him in thanking him for creating Cabrini Pressure and how it helped me. He wrote back on a card that had the actors dressed as their characters.

To me, it was absolutely inevitable that there would be massive interest in the TV adaptation because the book is iconic (and probably the only one I feared reading on public transport because it almost made me pee myself laughing a few times and I really do love it) and a work of sheer brilliance.

Dom clearly being emotional when he talked about "the popcorn thing" got me in the feels

Really love to see it when an adaptation is both loyal and really enjoyable.

Episode 3 of this show is one of my favorite episodes of any TV show ever, honestly. There was something so engrossing about that long cold opening and I think putting it into basically the middle of the show instead of starting with it was a smart choice, for me it was like a wonderful present that I wasn't expecting and I think putting it made sure it didn't hinder the pace of the show.

I'd love to see you do one of those insanely long video essays where you talk about all the adaptations of Pratchett's work at length, going into every nerdy tangent without the need to stick to the limitations of time or format.

I believe how amazing Good Omens turned out has everything to do with Gaiman's direct involvement. This really gets me excited because he was supposedly very involved in the upcoming Sandman series on Netflix. Even though a comic, I'm sure the channel will cover that adaptation when it comes out, as calling The Sandman "just a comic" is probably one of the largest understatements possible. The characters and worlds that Gaiman created in the series are nothing less than genre defining work that really defies explanation to those that haven't experienced it for themselves. It is the kind of work that is lucky to pop up one a decade if not a generation. I would tend to think The Sandman is right up Dominic's alley as well as seeming adjacent to the tastes of the absolute best co-writer, editor, and content creator that definitely doesn't release enough videos herself. So have either Dom or Kate read The Sandman and what do they think? I'd love to know as well as if there are plans to cover the series when it comes out.

Yes, great news!.. if a little bittersweet

On the sequel series Gaiman has earned enough faith from me over, well, almost my entire life that I accept he wouldn't be involved if it wasn't worth his time.

Agreed! Also, can‘t deny I did a bit of a double take at your profile picture, I know that one ^^ I don‘t usually remark on such things, but seeing another Thrawn fan here, appreciating the beauty of Hood Omens, is oddly nice :]

Terry Gilliam makes sense, considering one of the review of the book says "Reads like the Book of Revelation as written by Monty Python".

“its ok to be worried it won’t be as good but t’s ok to be hopeful too” IT WAS BETTER 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Hope you do a review of the second season as well! :-) I really had little hope for it, but it was so freaking good! I think Sir Terry would be proud of his best friends work, and everyone who participated.

One of my favorite tidbits from production is how when the money people told Gaiman if they cold cut something or other out, he'd think to himself "What would Terry say?" and the answer was always "Fuck them." So we can be thankful to Neil Gaiman and Sir Terry's ghost for the great adaptation.
