No, said Aziraphale, it's ineffable.

English version: (several) Good Omens.
German version: Exactly one (1) good omen.
(also we translate nice as kind bc hey, who'll notice?)

I've always been wondering about this like why was it translated like that? good omens good omens book linguistics I think i get stylistic reasons but Die präzisen und zutreffenden Prophezeiungen would have worked too gute Omen however sounds p weird

Oh yes :) I’ve always liked the fact about our Ineffable Duo’s food preferences.
Aziraphale popped another deviled egg into his mouth, and washed it down with coffee.

Aziraphale helped himself to Crowley’s slice of angel cake.

Aziraphale’s food of choice is *deviled* egg and Crowley’s is *angel* cake :-))).
Also,
Aziraphale here could be finishing Crowley’s slice of angel cake :).

I have a feeling Aziraphale is the kind of person to get lost in his own head and likes it there. In his head, there’s no Heaven or Hell or great divine plan. All he has are stories, thoughts of others, the rich lives characters lead from the pages of his book. In his head, he is as far from himself as possible. The him in his head is not the him that exists (i.e. the good angel that is only pretending to be a Good Angel and absolutely cannot confront the idea that he might not be what he thinks he is because that means change and the loss of structure) and that’s why he likes it.

And that’s also why I think he prefers to be left alone with no one there to bother him or disrupt his escape– that is, with the exception of Crowley, of course. Because he actually likes the him that’s comes out when he’s with Crowley. On one hand, he can continue to feed the illusion of his being a Good Angel when he is directly juxtaposed to Crowley’s “Demonic” Presence, never mind that Crowley’s actually not as Demonic as he’s supposed to be. But on the other hand, he can actually be himself and indulge in the temptations, in the vices that make him more Human than Angel, and he could do that here, with Crowley, because he knows his demon would never judge to the point of ostracism. And the world around them, Earth, Heaven, and Hell, kind of disappears when he’s with Crowley, anyway. Being with Crowley is, in itself, both a vehicle for a lie and an escape. They’re two competing tensions, a paradox within a relationship, but that balance has almost always been struck just at the right angle for the Arrangement to be an actual Thing, and for their relationship to thrive over the course of 6000 years.

So, Aziraphale is always most comfortable in two states: Alone and With Crowley. And sometimes– especially when he does something or Crowley says/does something that spooks him into once again Othering Crowley to the point of avoidance– he chooses Alone over With Crowley. He drifts away and stays away because he’s afraid of how far Crowley had made him slip into who he really is (i.e. a good angel, not a Good Angel) by simply being Crowley. Of course, this is Aziraphale pre-apocalypse-that-wasn’t. But once that whole shebang is over, when he finally does come to terms with the fact that his own true self’s freedom comes in the form of his disobedience to Heaven and fidelity to Crowley and their Arrangement, his two comfortable states sort of… meld together. From Alone and With Crowley, Aziraphale’s comfort zones sort of just narrow (or expand, depending on how you look at it) into Alone with Crowley. In South Downs. Forever.

I will never get enough of the DT/CT production of Much Ado About Nothing. I only wish I could have seen it live, but I’m grateful that there’s a recording!

Still Angry About Donna Noble’s Fate

When I watch the end of season 4, and Donna’s reappearance in The End of Time, I get not only depressed, I get angry. She had such an incredible story arc, and there was so much within herself that she hadn’t been able to discover until she met the Doctor.

We even see her change quite a bit just from the beginning of The Runaway Bride to the end. She’s realizing that there’s so much more out there. She faces the Racnoss Empress with bravery, even though I’m sure she’s scared out of her mind. She puts herself in front of the Doctor, a man she hardly knows, when the Racnoss Empress orders the robot Santas to fire on the Doctor. She makes sure the Doctor gets out safely, and she encourages him to find someone, because she knows he needs that.

Then when she reappears in Partners in Crime, she’s been spending time investigating unusual occurrences, bluffing her way into businesses, asking the perceptive questions, and showing so much initiative that she likely wasn’t using before. She’s been persistent because she’s so determined to find the Doctor again, even if it seems like a really long shot. And when he’s panicking, thinking that he won’t be able to stop the parthenogenesis, she just calmly asks “Doctor, tell me. What do you need?” And she has just what he needs, a second capsule, which she had swiped while in the Adipose Industries office earlier.

She was one of the most tenderhearted companions we’ve seen, possibly the most, and that was already within her. It didn’t just suddenly grow because she’d met the Doctor. It was her compassion and her tender heart which caused her to be desperate to warn the people of Pompeii, to beg the Doctor to “just save someone,” to want to hear the song of the Ood but be unable to bear it when she did. We saw time and again how Donna could empathize with other beings, both human and nonhuman.

She was smart, too, even though she’d been made so often to feel like she wasn’t. She noticed things that the Doctor didn’t and could evaluate them from a different set of knowledge and experiences. Things like the empty personnel files at Atmos, and the dates through the tunnels on Messaline.

She stood up to the Doctor in ways Rose and Martha hadn’t. She wouldn’t let him push Jenny away but told him that she’d be there with him. She stood alongside him in the difficult decisions, right from the start, placing her hands with his on the lever that would turn Pompeii to ash. She took on the burden with him.

There was so much brilliance within her, and she lost it all. It’s still there, but for some reason, Donna can’t seem to access it again. Even though Alternate Donna never met the Doctor in Turn Left, she still started to push for more, and ask questions, and find courage within herself. She was compassionate towards others and stood up for other people. So she was capable of those things, even without the Doctor, when there were catalysts.

I hate that Russell T. Davies took all that away from her and left her in an even more superficial state that she was in before, seemingly incapable of real growth. If Donna can’t recover her memories (and she totally could, because it’s sci-fi and they could definitely find a way to explain that), I wish that he would at least have shown us a Donna who still retained a sense of self-worth, who believed in herself and had enough encouragement from a changed Sylvia and from Wilf to find purpose in her life and to be in a better place. Instead, she was married off to Shaun Temple, who didn’t make much of an impression other than a nice guy who was a dreamer and didn’t work steadily, and given a lottery ticket so she wouldn’t have to worry about money. That was tremendously unsatisfying. We should have had a glimpse of the brilliant Donna that she always had within her, and something to show us she would find her brilliance once more, in her own way.

I love Donna and think she’ll always be my favorite companion, and Ten/Donna my favorite TARDIS team. But I don’t think I’ll ever get over her ending and how crappy it was.

donna noble catherine tate total rant still not over it i don't think i'll ever be over it doctor who
