One thing that really gets me about the opening with angel Crowley is that he's not just excited by how beautiful his stars are, or how fun the process of creation is, or how impressed he's made Aziraphale. He’s not in it for the glory or the aesthetics. He’s actually horrified by the idea that the universe will just be "fancy wallpaper" in the future, even though Aziraphale assures him that humans will "marvel" at his creations.
What Crowley loves about his stars is their potential. He is building, essentially, a nursery. Most of the universe's stars, he explains to Aziraphale, will come pre-aged--but his are just starting out! After they're given time to grow, who knows what could happen! Good or bad, black holes or new constellations—there are so many possible futures ahead of them, and Crowley can’t wait to see what happens.
And then Aziraphale tells him that he knows what will happen: those stars will never grow up. They will never shine or burn out or implode or become anything new. They’ll be destroyed before they get the chance.
"You can't kill kids."
“Whose side are you on?” “God’s, of course!” “Same God that wants me to whack the kids?”
"People die." "They do, don't they?"
“Great pustulant mangled bollocks to the Great blasted Plan!”
"Don't test them to destruction."
"It's always too late."
"Nothing lasts forever." "No, I don't suppose it does."
This fear has been chasing Crowley since before the beginning. It’s what caused his first doubts, put the first traces of gray in his wings. He’s been raging at the futility of watching beautiful, complex things be damned or destroyed for his entire existence, and that’s why he seems to the audience and to Aziraphale to be a mess of contradictions.
He loves to follow the trends of the times, but he clings to his classic car in an era of planned obsolescence for vehicles. He lives in an ultra-modern flat, but finds his greatest comfort in the unchanging security of aziraphale’s old shop. He hates the idea of killing children, but is willing to see a child die if it preserves the rest of the universe and foils the Great Plan. He “goes too fast,” but his most unique and notable power is that he’s learned to stop time.
Crowley hates predestination. He hates divine intervention and the removal of agency. Crowley, the architect of free will, is constantly torn between his love of change and choice and potential and his terror that everything will be destroyed by an unstoppable, incomprehensible higher power. That’s his driving conflict in the way that Aziraphale’s is learning to find his own path without following Heaven’s rules, and I am fascinated to see how it resolves.

Tattooed forearms anyone?
Here's a little something I was inspired to draw after writing Poetry Carved in Flesh chapter 6 (I'll update it soon I promise 🤍).

It'd take a miracle to get anyone to come and see Hamlet.
#huh. I never noticed and it’s probably just blocking#but for most of the scene Crowley is on Aziraphale’s left as usual#but he swaps over when Aziraphale starts giving him the puppy eyes#when Aziraphale starts TEMPTING him#literal role swap! fun#good omens

I figured we are definitely going to be seeing the archangels, Muriel, probably Eric, and the Metatron, so I thought I'd just ask about characters we may or may not see again. I also excluded Madame Tracy and Shadwell as Neil has said their story is concluded, but vote "other" for them if you are hoping they'll be back in S3!

#tfw you are the angel of the eastern gate#and the bad boy angel you had a crush on before he died in the war is back#and he grew his hair out and his eyes are the wrong color and your boss says he’s the embodiment of evil#but he is saying nice things about the humans you like so much and asking the same stupid questions as always#and smiling at you like you’re worth something.#wyd?#good omens#crowley#pretty gifs

#lots of votes for anathema which I expected!#a bit surprised there isn’t more for gabriel and beelzebub#but I guess they got their happy ending

But I don’t think we’re putting nearly enough energy into confused modern day demon Crowley:

NEW THINGS ABOUT SEASON 3 👀❤
“I knew where I needed them at the beginning of Season 3; that was something that I’d known for a very long time,” Gaiman told TV Insider at the Writers Guild Awards in April 2024. “I remember sitting with John Finnemore, with whom I co-wrote Season 2 and talking maybe in 2019, 2020, about the shape of the story. And John was saying, ‘Well, we need an ending. We’ve got everything planned out, but we don’t have the last 10 minutes. How is it going to end?’ And when he asked me, I knew exactly how it was going to end and I explained to him that it was going to end with a kiss and suddenly everything fell into place.”
“I’m writing it currently, so I don’t know what I can say other than I got a video message from David Tennant this morning asking me where the scripts were, because he wants to read more of them. He’s only read the first three and he’s very excited to find out what happens next,” Gaiman told TV Insider in April 2024. “It’s going to be fun. Some people that you love will be coming back; some that you expect, some that you don’t. And it’s more like the high-paced, high stakes madness of Season 1, I think, than it is like the sort of gentle, romantic, funny, sweet Season 2.”
