iariaI enjoyed it.
+Everything about Aziraphale, Crowley and Aziraphale/Crowley was excellent. I loved them and I loved their relationship. They made the series work. They were so lovely. So many really great moments between them but some of my favourites include:
- The very first meeting (?) that ends with Aziraphale putting his wing over Crowley's head when it began to rain.
- Crowley miracling away the paintball stain.
- Crowley shoving Aziraphale up against the wall for calling him nice, the way Aziraphale was completely unfazed and when Crowley turned to face Mary Aziraphale continued to stare at him for a couple seconds unphased.
- Crowley going into the church to save Aziraphale and making the bombs drop and in turn Aziraphale saving them both. Crowley saving Aziraphale's books and especially the expression on Aziraphale's face when Crowley walked away.
- Aziraphale threatening to never speak to him again causing Crowley to actually come up with something
- Crowley crying in Aziraphale's burning store about how they took his best friend and then taking Agnes's book as a souvenir.
- 'I lost my best friend', Crowley's face! And how happy he was to have saved the book for Aziraphale!
+ I liked the ending with Aziraphale and Crowley facing their bosses and the reveal that they switched places. I'd figured it out based on the opening of the final episode and Agnes's last prophecy but it was great all the same. I loved them meeting up and laughing together over fooling everyone.
Aziraphale: Him giving Adam his flaming sword without a second thought was lovely. I love how upset he always gets at the thought of the paperwork he'd have to do if he was disencorporated.
Crowley: I loved him threatening his house plants scene. I loved him surviving driving his car through the wall of fire through shear force of will and then later mourning the loss of his car. I loved him turning the paint guns to actual guns but making it so they still couldn't kill each other.
Everything Else
+ I loved Crowley getting caught in the road trap he created and his frustration over it.
+ I liked the narration. It worked for me.
+ I enjoyed everything we saw of the Horsemen. They were great. I wanted more of them. Well, except Death, it could have been more interesting.
+ I was pretty meh about Pepper's confrontation with War and in general how Them vs the Horsemen played out. I hated the "I believe in peace, bitch" line.
+ I really liked Anathema. Newt and Newt/Anathema were both okay, but Anathema herself was great. So was Agnes Nutter - I loved her flashback. And I liked the little scene we got of Anathema's mother too.
+ Everything with Dog was great.
+ I wish a little more time had been spent with Them and building their friendship up more.
+ I liked the deliveryman subplot.
+ I loved the one unicorn escaping boarding the Ark and Crawley trying to get Shem's attention before giving up.
+ I can't remember how it was in the book but I liked that a bunch of the otherworldly characters were female - Michael, Beelzebub and War particularly.
