Its our longest minisode yet, with the flashback far outweighing the present-day content.
Baby, these are maxisodes at this point.
thing feels very, very arbitrary.
Lets get the present-day stuff out of the way before diving into the Nazi zombies of it all.
Theres barely any of it to address.
Shax then asks permission from Beelzebub to invade Earth with a legion of hell.
Ninas partner continues to send emotionally abusive texts.
Oh, and hell apparently has been kiki-ing about Aziraphale/Crowley for years.
The bulk of the episode showed Crowley and Aziraphale during the London Blitz in 1941.
Crowley performs a very specific miracle, one that blows up the Nazis yet saves the book.
More important, he did that while inside a church a.k.a.
A shitty one, thats what.
Shout-out to British-telly mainstays Niamh Walsh, Steve Pemberton, and Mark Gatiss for their bumbling zombie trio.
Walsh is a regular in Gaiman jawns.
But theyve still got the chops to walk real silly.
Truly, who is Crowley kidding pretending to be a big evil demon?
Thats barely even acrimelet alone a sin.
Unfortunately, his booze got all bombed to bits, and his nightclub connect is well pissed.
Shes having a rough time of it since theres no heat, and also her magician quit.
Aziraphale, hearing this, begs to perform.
The dude loves prestidigitation, which has been canon since the book.
Remember when he was the saddest party clown ever atlittle Warlocks birthday?
We know Az is shit at magic; Crowley knows it too.
The only one blithely oblivious about his complete lack of skill is Aziraphale.
Me, Id go to the country and maybe pick up with the whole rabbits-outta-hats business after VE day.
Aziraphale decides he simply must do a trick where the magician catches a bullet in their teeth.
And by the end of that season, they were talking about having a kid together.
The zombies learn of Aziraphales magical debut by way of eating the magic-show owner, and they summon Furfur.
All in all, its not looking great.
Our boys are learning a lot from each other.
They cheers to shades of gray rather than black-and-white thinking.
Its something theyve picked up from humans.
The question remains: When will they learn the other big lesson from humanity, e.g., banging?
Angels dont know how.
But they dont know how to lie, either, and Aziraphale has gotten really good at that.
Maybe this big showdown at the bookshop will finally put things into perspective.
Biblical Apocrypha
Gay-O-Meter is still atDEFCON 3: ROUND HOUSE.
Even the demons can see how in love these two jabronis are.
The song the tramp sings is areal songofunclear origins.
So … are the Nazi zombies still around?
Will they come up later?
Chekovs Derringer, for that matter.
Was that because it sounded weird because it was hollow and had a gun inside?
Only time will tell.
Miranda Richardson is doing a lot with the scant screen time shes given.
I think one reason Aziraphale is terrible at magic is because stage magic is, at heart, lying.
And angels suck at that.
The 1941 flashback was Michael Sheens best hair so far.
Why did he ever stop parting it like that?
