Couple of things from ep 1-3 (still have to watch the last few)

• uh Crowley still has the Celestial Crank? The one that started the Big Bang? I thought it was part of the Bentley that Crowley sentimentally hung onto when it exploded, I thought it was fucking cool that that's the weapon he has when he and Aziraphale speak to Adam, but it's so so much older than that. No wonder he's flabbergasted when Aziraphale admits he just gave away the flaming sword that God gave him... dude fell from Heaven and he still couldn't ditch the crank.
• Loving the theme covers in the credits, and they're all different between episodes!! I wanna see a behind-the-scenes vid for the choral one.
• Flashbacks are great. Comparing Gabriel's attitude to Job's situation ("why not simply let Hell do its thing") and the present-day situation where Aziraphale is trying to justify why he can't just dump an amnesiac Gabriel in Dartmoor and let Heaven and Hell do their thing. Bloody great. As someone who grew up Catholic, it's interesting seeing it deconstructed and analysed
• So who the fuck was Crowley before he sauntered vaguely downwards?? He literally created the universe, he seems more powerful than Aziraphale (Aziraphale asks him to stop time, why can't Aziraphale do that himself? Maybe Crowley can stop time because he helped start it...) Crowley never introduces himself before the Beginning... I hope these are all plot points explored down the track.
• I bet Elspeth's descendants are out there somewhere. And I hope she ended up buying a farm.
• I'm worried that Crowley got so thoroughly reamed for his antics in Scotland, to the point where he went on a century-long quest for holy water as a backup - not just as a last-ditch defence but as a cyanide pill. Even worse because he got that punishment trying to save someone from suicide. It might have actually convinced him to go for a quick death instead of Hell's special treatment.
• The Resurrectionists seem important for future plot points. Interesting two-faced sign, and the branded matchbox from the first episode. The address was also very devilish. Hold on, there was a quote from Job on the side, wasn't there?
• Good Omens book in the shop. Very cool.
• My favourite type of kind of fanfiction I write are those that could ride in the main vehicle's sidecar. They expand on throwaway points that the story probably won't come back to. Did Jim sit down and read Good Omens? What adventures did Jane Austen have with Crowley? Might see if i can write one of these...

Just over 9 years contributing and modding a few small places, now i'm basically a lurker. Screw Reddit.

Wow it's fuckin scary how accurate this is.

edit: lmao i forgot i had already seen this

Ouch. I should just show this to my psych.

The zuck can go suck a fuck. Dude must be salivating at how much more data Meta can steal off people with Threads

[ha ha! Nelson meme]

Me too, for PulitzerComments and queerjaw. Queerjaw only has 38 members... tf reddit?

What's wrong with the person on the far right??? They look weirder the more i look at this

Fuck, i need to grab the first one. Hope it goes on sale when the second is released...

Very happy with Lemmy, fuck spez and Reddit. A lot of addicted lazy gamers on r/PS5 who don't realise the implications of their data being sold and spez's disgusting behaviour - I hope many of the active users who contribute move to the fediverse. I plan to scrub my data and delete my 10 year old account before the API changes come into effect, and I might spin up my own Lemmy instance at some point.

Musk is such a good flavour though... I used to buy a buck's worth of musk sticks for the train ride home... don't debase musk flavour for that sad ween

Woo!
