A huge chunk of the story concerns Job, he of the matchbox quote last episode.
Apparently, Jobs trial was the real start of Crowley and Aziraphales arrangement.
Does this sequel series feel more forever war on terror?
People are certainly less certain; the people at the top seem dumber.
That feels accurate to current geopolitics, no?
Lets separate the two timelines apart and cover the current mystery first.
He has taken it upon himself to alphabetize Aziraphales shop.
By first word of first sentence.
Az is basically like, Go off, king!
I have flashbacks to ponder.
Hes briefly pulled out of flashbacklandia by Jimriel humming a tune: Everyday, by Buddy Holly.
So bad news: The angels know Aziraphale performed a miracle.
And not a little guy, too.
A huge freaking miracle.
Good news: It sorta worked?
The angels cant recognize Gabriel, even when hes standing right in front of them.
It was the first thing he could think of.
I wonder why gay longing was so easy to access in his mind!
Get humans wet and staring into each others eyes, va-voom!
Sorted, says Crowley.
It makes us sound like Gremlins, but its probably true.
If Prime Video wants to dedicate a bonus episode toThe Names Austen.
Jane Austen,I wouldnt be averse.
Crowley puts some feelers out about Nina, re: Maggie, and shes not receptive.
Apparently, Ninas partner has taken a page fromJonah Hills (alleged) playbookand has weaponized therapyspeak against her.
Exsqueeze me?Ourcar?
Hes not going to give it up without a fight.
And why cant my dads go on a road trip together?
Oh, yeah, someone has to look after Jimriel.
Now the Job stuff: We learn alongside Aziraphale about the plan to test Job.
And if he stays faithful to God, Heaven will give him back double what he lost.
Crowley kills 100 goats, Gabriel gives Job 200 goats.
Crowley kills Jobs three kids, God will force Jobs wife through seven geriatric pregnancies.
Crowley cant even kill the goats; he merely transmutes them into crows.
Aziraphale bets on Crowleys conscience and begs him to save Jobs children.
Its the oldI know theres good in you argument.
He got better, but it was still a whole thing.
Luckily, Crowley went Darth instead of Damon.
Speaking of God, theyre voiced by Frances McDormand and use they/them pronouns.
Thats a fun cosmology!
Whos your favorite God?
Im personally fond of mute Alanis Morissette, but I was the exact right age forDogmawhen it came out.
Or, as Job summarizes, Come back when it’s possible for you to make a whale.
Its lonely, but a little less lonely if they do it together.
Fuck, thats cute.
Biblical Apocrypha
Gay-o-meter is back down toDEFCON 5: FADE OUT.
Less horny, more bromance-y.
But the parallel romances of Aziraphale/Crowley and Maggie/Nina could rear up at any moment.
They just need to decide if theyre going the Richard Curtis or Jane Austen route.
But I could have done with a more period-appropriate Heaven.
That overhead fluorescent lighting existed before electricity is a real bummer.
Good show onGood Omensfor letting it stay so U.K., despite being made by an America-based global corporation.
Kudos to Saraqael for miracle-ing herself a ramp, but shouldnt Az have made his shop accessible by now?
Remember Jobs shitty kids?
One of them was played byDavid Tennants stepson, Ty.
Dudes onHouse of the Dragontoo.
