Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Tenant seems to have modeled his Crowley very closely on the British rocker Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp).

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

The first episode was DELIGHTFUL. I'm trying to convince my non-binge-watching husband to watch the second episode, but he's all "We should spread it out, so we have something to look forward to!" Sheesh.

...and I got him to watch the second episode! Yay! Continues to be delightful. I like Aziraphale so much more than I ever did in the book.

Hey. New board.

We made it halfway through the second before being too tired. It is fun!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

We watched the first episode last night and it was PERFECTION.

What is even happening?

Dear Carrot Boy,

It's a mini-series. Currently there is no second season of Good Omens in the works. Think of it as a long movie. It's not like you've got to stretch it out until season two debuts, because there isn't one*.

Binge binge binge

Love,

Cindy

*I don't think Gaiman wants to do more without Pratchett. That said, they had done some unpublished work on a follow-up, some of which was incorporated into this season, so I wouldn't say a second season or some other kind of spinoff is impossible. It's just not in the works.

The first episode was DELIGHTFUL.

Teppy, DELIGHTFUL is exactly it. I even love the music over the opening credits. I adore everything about it thus far.

There was a scene in episode 3 or 4 (we got a little mixed up in our watching, because one time dh fell asleep and another time I did) that I tensed up before watching, but it turned out to be for no reason.

We watched the first episode last night and it was PERFECTION.

PERFECTION is also exactly it

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The crucifixion scene was a tough watch.

One thing they didn't include was the explanation of why all the Queen. I read a review where the reviewer was wondering why Queen kept turning up in the soundtrack. I wanted to comment "Read the book!", but it would have involved giving them my e-mail address.

Thrive to spite them

I have watched the second episode. I prefer the longer hair on Crowley. The actor who plays Adam reminds me Matt Smith. If Matt Smith looked like that as a kid.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

David Tennant wears red hair better than I expected.

I binged the whole thing over the weekend. And I feel great about my life choices.
