YOU GO TOO FAST FOR ME!~ "Hard Times" GOOD OMENS 1x03 REACTION! 

"You go too fast for me crowley",is really about both, which is the fun of it, physically driving too fast, and relationship wise, going too fast.

follow the breadcrumbs, ship thy ineffable husbands

Ok, Morgan. No spoilers. As someone who has seen an extensive amount of meta commentary on this show (some from Neil Gaiman himself), you are absolutely NOT reading too far into it. Every little flourish and moment was planned. This is all INTENTIONAL subtext.

Michael Sheen has said Crowley saving the books is when Aziraphale realized he was in love with him.

15:00 Christian mythology usually holds that all demons are fallen angels. There's no such thing as a true hellborn.

As I understand it, readers used to come up to Neil and/or Sir Pterry at book signings and ask if it were just possible Crowley and Aziraphale might be interpreted as, y'know, maybe a little bit more than just friends, and they'd be like "Hadn't we made that obvious?"

Watching them try hard to not talk about one of the most popular ships since the 90s is hilarious.

love to see someone falling for this ship in real time

"I don't like real life relationships. I like fictional relationships." I feel SEEN. Also, it's okay to get emotional! This show really IS emotional. The big thing to remember with Terry Pratchett (one of the original creators) is that he was a deeply, profoundly humanist thinker. He was very focused on calling out the worst behaviour in people while still believing in their better angels (heh). Neil Gaiman, the other creator, is also deepy humanist and together they wrote a story that was...fundamentally...about a deep love for PEOPLE. The story makes fun of religion, religious horror (The Omen mainly), and politics, but the overarching theme at the story's warm core is Compassion. Fun note! The scene with Shakespeare was filmed at the actual existing Globe Theatre in London. It's a gorgeous space. Extra note I love: Neil Gaiman has gone on record confirming that Angels and Demons don't have 'sexes' and choose how they want to present, which is why you'll occasionally see Crowley in women's clothes. Crowley is predominantly genderfluid and I just think that's neat as an old fan of the book.

"you go too fast for me" changed all our brain chemistry welcome to the fandom

Actually... all demons are fallen angels. The angels who sided with Lucifer were cast into Hell. The reason Crowley is different is because he has spent his entire existence since Eden on Earth rather than in Hell. It's actually why Aziraphale is different from other angels... because he too has spent his existence since Eden on Earth rather than in Heaven.

I watched this with my straight friend who has zero gaydar. I laughed my ass off when he, far into the show, suddenly asked "Wait, are they a thing?"

Morgan shipping them and not knowing what happens is so funny omg

20:08 Fun fact: Michael Sheen has said (I seem to recall) that this exact scene is when Aziraphale fell in love with Crowley

HERE WE GO! THE 6000 YEAR SLOWBURN AND GAZEBO BREAKUP!

The ineffable husbands strike again.

I think what it is is both Crowley and Aziraphale have "gone native," and become more *human* than Demon or Angel. And humans are both good *and* bad.

Crowley doesn't do much on earth. He just reports the evil humans do on their own as his doing. He only does a few things that cause minor evils across a wide area. Like the phone network, he knows it will have thousands of people frustrated and annoyed, which will turn them a little more evil. One of the best lines imo is that Crowley didn't fall like the other angels. He sauntered vaguely downwards

"Dis you see that look he gave him..." Yes Morgan, we saw it and we've been running with it ever since.

So about Crowley not having that many overtly demonic features: he's one of the only demons who actually spends time on Earth among humans. He likes classy cars and music and clothes and wine - and so his demonic marks are subtler. The eyes, the occasional hiss, the Walk, and of course the snake tattooed on the side of his face.

I read somewhere that the "you go too fast" scene was actually the last one they filmed in the series, which is why it's so fraught with terrible love and sadness and why it breaks your heart in a way that you think it logically shouldn't. Because they were thinking about how it was all over after that. (Obviously not once Season 2 became a thing, but I don't think they knew about that yet.) And yes, welcome aboard the ship, my friend. We have cookies and wine and waistcoats and Queen and thousands and thousands of years.

So, Heaven is very cult-y, but in the last episode, Crowley was actually calling himself and Aziraphale "occult" beings, which is why Aziraphale gets offended and says "angels aren't occult, we're ethereal" bc of the negative connotations lmao Also, all of the demons are fallen angels. That's what demons are, where they came from. There was a big rebellion/war led by Lucifer the angel, and he and the others were all cast down to Hell. In the last episode, Hastur says to Crowley over the TV "we are the fallen, never forget that", that's what he means. (Good catch with the Peter Pan memory btw; the animated sequel takes place in London during the Blitz)

4:42 When Crowley says "you can't kill kids" he could be talking about human children, but he could also be talking about the baby goats, which are also called kids

"I know people don't come here for my shipping opinions" DO YOU NOT KNOW YOUR AUDIENCEE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

At this rate Season 2 is gonna send Morgan to the stars (and I am simultaneously dreading and looking forward to it)

No, you missed Crowley's line about his fall: "I didn't really fall. I just, you know... s a u n t e r e d v a g u e l y d o w n w a r d s."

To give context to that phone line thing, Crowley secured a lot of souls because that one act caused a chain reaction of people getting angry and taking it out on others corrupting their souls, there are a lot referencing to things in the book Good Omens they don’t tell you about in the show, like the bullet hole stickers

Crowley may be an agent of chaos but he doesn't do much because he knows that humans pretty much cause more of their own torments. One of his few reports back to the home office was just a copy of the user's agreement with a sticky note that said "learn guys".

"What happend in 1793?... French people: Oh boy...* takes deep sip from wine glass *

Oh, wow! So many reactors don't realize that that is the Shadwell we already know or even clock it's the same name. Good job there. I love the notes too.

Well, they must have met up other than the times we've been shown, because they have an arrangement where one of them goes to do the blessing and the tempting (and we don't talk about this much, but how mindblowing is this arrangement?) "dozens of times now."

I saw a video of Michael Sheen on The Graham Norton's Show. He was talking about fanfiction, how for a while it was kinda looked down on, but actually people write it when they really love and are really passionate about something. Then he said something like, "It can get really intense. For example, some of it is about me and David Tennant having sex." I never forgot this. 😂

The demons seem to gain more demonic features when they act more demonic. For instance Crowley’s eyes get more yellow and serpent like when he is super angry or scared and he can choose to change his features to look more like a snake. For demons I think it is really just a choice to look like that, gives off the impression that they are a stronger demon

Morgan: *Ships Crowley and Aziraphale.* "Why is this Episode so emotional?" Me:[Insane Laugh!]

15:00 in good omens, all demons are fallen angels. crowley's just not like other demons TM 😂 my personal theory on this is that it's bc he fell for questioning God, not for being power hungry or evil like other demons

7:04 "Be kind to each other" Yeah. That'll do it. XDD Edit: Also, fun fact, David Tennent once played Prince Hamlet in a movie recreation of the play.

Crowley saying “Is it my fault they never check up?” when talking about Hell, while him and Aziraphale literally never checked up on Shadwell’s “army” is so funny to me 😭😭

People who get this episode: "Aww, it's so cute!" People who REALLY get this episode: "It's so cute but so tragic" People who don't get this episode: "Aww, best friends! Anyway back to the antichrist"

every time she says aziraphale names wrong i can just remember this scene, if you know you know

Watching Morgan just give progressively more disbelieving looks to the camera during the 6000 year montage was so fun. Personally, I ship them romantically in the show but I will forever and always think of them as qpr in the book, it helps my little aroace heart (even if my fav quote is about Aziraphale seeming gayer than a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide)

Yellow is a the color of curiosity, happiness, fun, clarity, warmth, positively, and joy.😃

breaking into tears and then losing your mind over the intro playing after 30 minutes is very real and the only way to watch this episode first time lol

So all the demons are fallen, not just Crowley. They all also have animal motifs and a part of their demoness they can't hide when trying to blend in on Earth. For Crowley it's his snake tattoo and his eyes. There is a theory that he could've been an archangel, specifically Raphael, but that's just a theory. Due to the recent season, the fandom has suggested other angels he could've been, but the Raphael theory is probably the oldest and most popular one for who he used to be. There's even a tag for it on AO3.

Fun fact about the Ancient Rome bit. Crowley is rather despondent at the start of the scene, and before Aziraphale cheered him up, he was definitely going to drink himself into oblivion. Crowley says that he just "nipped in for a quick temptation". 41 AD/CE was the year of Caligula's assassination. Crowley was given instructions to tempt the Praetorian tribunes to stage a coup against the Emperor; they killed him, and also murdered his wife, their little daughter Julia and a bunch of innocent bystanders. No wonder Crowley went to a tavern to drink it all away. The best bit is, Crowley's costume in the scene supports the "quick job" part of the story. He's usually dressed on the cutting edge of current fashion (while Aziraphale, ever the conservative, is lagging several decades behind). The costume department is very scrupulous about that, in every historical setting they show. However, in the Rome bit Crowley's attire is all over the place, just barely passing. Shows that he was new in town, wasn't planning on staying long and probably didn't want to be there in the first place.

Aziraphale and Crowley in the Globe Theater watching Hamlet is a nod to both David Tennant and Michael Sheen portraying Hamlet in plays. Tennant in particular got rave reviews for his performance.

FYI, Good Omens came out as a show a few years ago. But it is based on a book of the same name from 1990. (Note the complete lack of cell phones.)

Continue being a shipper I LOVE it!! Ineffable husbands are my babies ❤ All demons are fallen angels the thing that's special about Crowley is that he fell for asking questions rather than anything actually evil. Due to him living on earth he has part of humanity's and Aziraphale's kindness, so he's not really evil which honestly makes me love his character

Morgans' grave says this: Here lies Morgan, Killed by the Crowley and Aziraphale drama R.I.P

"I'm not gonna survive my hearts gonna melt into a puddle in my chest" Good luck with series two....

YOU FUCKING GET ITTTTTTTTTT AAHHHHH WE ARE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU BABE!!! It drives me wild to watch reactions to this ep where the reactors don’t understand why this is such a fan favorite episode. But you are right there with us - thank you thank you thank you!! 💗💗

Thank you! I also said he looked like a member of The Beatles, and you're the first other person to confirm it wasn't all just in my head.

Excited to see your reaction to the next episodes and especially season 2. I also like how open you are with your sensitivity. Makes me feel - seen / not alone.

In answer to your question about auras; from what I understand, it can mean different things depending on what shade of yellow your aura is. I’m assuming the ones that said that meant a brighter shade of yellow, because that usually means you’re very creative-oriented & into artistic expression (art, music, dance, etc.), while a dull or muddy shade of yellow unfortunately means you have an addictive personality, and likely struggle with said-issues.

Welcome aboard the HMS Ineffable Husbands. There's no way off this ship, you're trapped here with the rest of us 😔🙏

2:50 - So the show doesn't go into this, but in the book it is stated that demon and angel wings look the same except that the demons' are usually better groomed! (You may notice that the other angels haven't had their wings out either). Crowley is for sure an unusual demon, though, just as Aziraphale is an unusual angel. But ALL the demons are fallen angels! (Well, maybe there are some hell-born, but Good Omens never SAYS that)

@36:00 you were scared of the angels seeing and I was scared for you knowing how emotional this scene is!

Love your reaction. The first 30 minutes of this episode is one of my all-time favorite scenes in this series! Especially the 1941 bombing scene. So unbelievably sweet.

The point of bringing down the phone network was actually bringing a LOT of souls that closer to damnation than corrupting one priest ;)

Crowley's demon animal is a snake. If you look at his ears. There is a small one there. It's kind of symbolic to me that Crowley doesn't become as evil as the other fallen angels. He has "gone native" from being on earth. The Fallen becoming demons with how evil they are.

Their reaction to the rest of the series is going to be amazing. I’m DYING for these reactions now. I’m marking it on my calendar, I was literally checking all day. It’s killing me 😂

Really fun re-watching this with you here. I think I have watched Good Omens 10 times already, reactions that put a lot of emotions into them makes me feel like I'm watching it sort of for the first time again, so don't feel bad for getting emotional, we are all very emotionally invested in them. Very. Just... welcome to the club! You will see them everywhere now.

25:09 i will never get tired of reactors just realizing that the intro just started lol

They are crying to THIS episode?? Ooh nooo.... Ooooh noooo.... And they will probably watch season 2 also? Oooh maaan.... Umm... Should we warn them? Should we? They probably won't survive.🥺

I think you would like the show our flag means death

so incredibly unrelated to good omens, but that perry the platypus impression was spot on - like dayum

all of the demons are fallen angels. that's why hastur says "we are the fallen" in episode 1

There is a part in the book, after Adam has talked with Anathema and is just about to fall asleep that goes: "Besides, he liked Anathema. Of course she was very old, but when Adam liked someone he wanted to make them happy. He wondered how he could make Anathema happy" I love that part because it proves how much Adam is not a bad person. He is an eleven year old who has these powers he can't control and so sometimes rhwy tend to take over a bit. He did the whole nuclear powerstation thing bc Ana had talked with him about them. Idk, just a very cute scene I think

"You go to fast for me, Crowley" is one of the great lines of queer media. 100 years from now it will work it's way onto mugs of ladies in Sweatshirts and yoga pants

The ship is very much understandable and expected, those two are so perfect for each other! 😭 And I can't wait until you get to season 2, things get much more interesting

I have watched so many reactions to this episode but I honestly like yours the best! No one has gotten so emotional about theses two before. When you started crying in the beginning I was worried about the breakup 😂 I love these two but sometimes I want to hit them over the head. Keep trying with Aziraphale. I'm sure you'll get it soon!

The only accurate way to watch this series soooo many emotions 😢

Crowley isn't unique in being a fallen angel. All demons were angels. He has wings but I assume they all do too.

Ok there's a theory that Gabriel actually hung around Christ after giving the news to Mary she was going to birth the Son of God. And that Gabriel grew fond of the boy. But seeing what the rest of humanity did to Christ on the cross and seeing Him die, broke Gabriel and that's why he has a disdain for humanity and he never got close to anyone again. Again, it's just a theory, don't come at me.

the magic of Sir Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, it's funny as hell, while making you think and hitting you in the feels

Watching you react is so satisfying! If you are having feels in season 1, season 2 will be feelings overload 😅 go into it knowing all will be sorted in season 3!

Hope your ready...you will be like this through the entire show...lol Love your reaction, and Thank you for your honest emotions. Hugs

31:30 I happen to have a book about Auras in my collection. *clears throat* "Yellow in an aura is often a reflection of a person's intellect and curiosity as well as how emotional they may be." - Auras: Your Personal Guide by Joylina Goodings. I hope this helps a little bit, Morgan!

Hey don't worry about having difficulty in pronouncing Aziraphale’s name, it's a ritual in passage in the fandom 😅

Omg after this series you HAVE to watch Our Flag Means Death!! I don't know anyone who has watched Good Omens but hasn't AT LEAST seen SOMETHING about Our Flag 😭 They're almost like sister series!! I honestly think you'll really love it!!

I highly recommend you read the book. It was written in the late 80s/early 90s, so it's a little dated, but it makes the show much clearer. The running gag through the book is that Crowley and Aziraphale are both pretty bad at their jobs. Crowley is too good to be an effective demon, and Aziraphale is a little too hedonistic to be a good angel. They're both much more similar to each other than to their own kind, which is why they have such a tight bond. Welcome to the ineffable fandom!

Neil has said Aziraphale is perfectly capable of getting himself out of trouble, frivolous miracles or no (he changed clothes but couldn’t save himself?). They both like it when Crowley comes to the rescue…

They are practically married.

spoilers dont click this its so joever for them for s2 theyre gonna be so fucked up watching it 😭

Aaawww if I could come through the screen to give you a big hug I would've seeing you get teary eyed

I love watching you have the reactions that everyone else including myself had while watching these scenes

Hastur and Ligur’s one-off temptations gained 2 souls for Satan. Crowley’s stunt with the phone network potentially gained 100s or 1000s of souls for Satan.

I swear every single person who’s watched this episode had the same reaction to the intro starting after 28 minutes! It makes me laugh every time I watch other people’s reactions

Ok, so what I remember of Shadwell in the book is that he was cell mates with the last witchfinder who was actually part of a bigger organization. When he got out he became the last witchfinder, but the organization had died off. All the names you see later are either dead or made up, for reasons of fraud.

Heyy just so you know, *ALL* demons are fallen angels. The main reason why Crowley looks so "normal and clean" in comparison to the others is that he _chooses_ that more "human" form, but his actual, "pure" form is of the serpent that we see at the beginning!! As to why he has _other_ qualities that separates them from other demons... Just keep watching to find out ;D

another reason Crowley doesn't have the scales and stuff (and this is just a personal theory) is that he didn't so much fall as saunter vaguley downward

with the wings i believe its cause he fell, HE HAS MENTIONED IT after talking to the demons on the tv they say "we are the fallen" and crowley goes "I didn't mean to fall, i just hung around the wrong people" Edit: watched more... they figured it out.. good job morgan

They're only on episode 3 and I fear Morgan will not survive the infamous "final 15"

if you cried this much with this episode you will die with s2 😭😭😭

31:24 The color yellow generally means energy, spirituality, hope, happiness, warmth, sunlight, and enlightenment (and at other times yellow color connotes envy, danger, sickness, madness and deceit.) Spiritually, yellow represents joy, happiness, and optimism Meanwhile a “Radiant and glowing, a bright yellow aura is often an indication of happiness, confidence, and an overall pleasant and social nature.

*Morgan:* I’m so sorry! I can’t believe they are making me so emotiona- *Everyone:* Welcome to the show. :’3c (Literally was waiting for you to react to this episode oml-)

Oh this has definitely been my favorite reaction so far. The freak out when you realized it was a 28 minute cold open 😂😂 I'm so happy you Understand what's going on with Aziraphale and Crowley.

Well, you can understand why it would be awkward to interrupt the flashback sequence with the opening credits.

Aziraphale is a guardian, and he protects by keeping people at arm’s length - including Crowley. :( Both of them have a lot to learn when it comes to communicating with each other.

Alright, we at my favorite episode of the season! I am loving that Crowley is warming up to you since he’s my favorite out of the pair. And your feels for ship vibes on the pair… Hold on to that, honey! 👌🏾😁🤭

By seeing how flamboyant and over the top Crowley can be... would visualizing ANYONE other than him as a giant flamboyant over the top rooster ever work?
