jayalay asked:

Hey Neil, I loved Good Omens so very much. I was wondering though why in the show the Them used the flaming sword to take down the Horsemen, instead of their own homemade sticks and bits of wood equivalents of the scales, sword, and crown? That's one of my favourite parts of the book and although I enjoyed it in the show, particularly Pepper, it didn't come across as powerful as I imagined.

neil-gaiman answered:

I wrote a version of the script with the Them having the things (and gave the things to them in episode one - you can see the sword, crown and scales there), but the main reaction to that part of the script in episode 6 was confusion and a concern that an incredibly long scene (the airbase) would get even longer and more complex. So I streamlined it as best I could.
