The most important difference between the book and the show is that in the book Crowley is the anxious mess and in the show Aziraphale fills that role

Script book SPOILER alert:

In the script Crowley is more anxious and I love it! Hastur and Ligur get to threaten him more seriously too. He has insomnia and seems to be close to mental breakdown. I also love Tennant’s take on the role, of course and some of the stuff was cut even though it was already shot (like Crowley trying to sleep first on his own bed, then on the floor and in the end on the ceiling!)

book--wyrm asked:

Is Sandalphon also a capital A Archangel like Gabriel/Uriel/Michael? If not, do you have a strong opinion on what rank he is?

He’s quite important. The Wikipedia article describes him as an archangel and as many other things. Then again, one of those things is Tall.

Longfellow wrote a Sandalphon poem, my favourite verse of which goes: 

When I look from my window at night, 

And the welkin above is all white,  

All throbbing and panting with stars, 

Among them majestic is standing 

Sandalphon the angel, expanding  

His pinions in nebulous bars.

Mostly because I love the idea of Paul Chahidi’s Sandalphon opening his wings in Nebulous Bars.

aphilologicalbatman-deactivated asked:

this is, frankly, an incredibly silly question, but since it's apparently open season for very silly Good Omens questions in your ask box, why did you and Terry change Crowley's favorite TV show from Cheers to The Golden Girls at least for the US editions? (or did some rogue typesetter sneak this in?)

Because Terry admitted he’d never seen Cheers, and asked wistfully if I’d mind changing it to something he knew. And since I knew he liked The Golden Girls (we’d had a long chat about them as aspects of the triple goddess, with Sophia as Hecate) I changed it to that.

And many years later put a Cheers scene in American Gods.

“I wanted to … make [Rorschach] as like, ‘this is what Batman would be in the real world’. But I have forgotten that actually to a lot of comic fans, ‘smelling’, ‘not having a girlfriend’, these are actually kind of heroic! So Rorschach became the most popular character in Watchmen. I made him to be a bad example. But I have people come up to me in the street and saying: ‘I AM Rorschach. That is MY story’. And I’d be thinking: ‘Yeah, great. Could you just, like, keep away from me, never come anywhere near me again as long as I live?’”

I love that feeling of a joke being so hilarious to you that you can barely get it out but like you HAVE to get it out because it would be a travesty if no one else heard the hilarious thing in your head.

What I love about Good Omens is that you could have a role reversal AU for Crowley and Aziraphale and still have most of it stay pretty much the same, minus a few aesthetic differences. Crowley could have been an angel and still be the one to convince Aziraphale to stop Armageddon, while also having complicated feelings about the Almighty and saving his dumbass demon boyfriend throughout history. Aziraphale could still be existing in fear of his bosses, covering it up - even to himself - with brainwashed speeches about eternal triumph, while also enjoying life’s pleasures like food and books, and getting himself into trouble as he carries out his not-so-evil deeds that, at worst, slightly irritate humanity and at best can be mistaken for one of Crowley’s inventions.
