Brilliant things in Good Omens that are NOT Crowley & Aziraphale
I mean, those two are a black hole of show praise. Fair enough. They are fucking fantastic characters and Sheen and Tennant nailed it completely. But these are some moments/things I loved that are not our fave Angel and Demon dream team, because there was so much brilliant stuff in this show.
-That hilarious camera pan-down to the recently-puppified Dog the Hellhound. I mean, that whole sequence was funny, but this shot in particular emphasized the humor. Great directing.
-Dog’s glowing eyes (on his adorably Good Boi face) when he tries to threaten the cat. So cute.
-Gabriel’s “just buying pornography!” ruse to avoid drawing attention to himself but totally just weirding out the customers. Just so hilariously out of touch with life on earth.
-Hastur just shrieking his head off for a solid minute after the holy water.
-Miranda Richardson acting as two different people at once. She was seamless. When she was pantomiming for Aziraphale’s lines, I totally bought it. How can an actor be that good?
-That long shot of War with a shit-eating grin after she receives the sword and chaos is just letting lose behind her. Cinema.
-The confused Tibetans retreating back into their tunnel after running Dick Turpin off the road. I just thought it was a really fun and cute shot.
-”Chow. It’s Italian. Means ‘food.’”
-I still get such a kick out of Agnes turning herself into a human bomb. The sequence was so well done in the show.
