I Have A Theory On That, And It Handily Also Explains Why Nina Notices The Whole Jane Austen Thing As

I have a theory on that, and it handily also explains why Nina notices the whole Jane Austen thing as well as making the ball a little less eldritch-horrory. The idea is that this mass hypnosis thing works better (at least when Aziraphale is doing it) when it's for something that people want or are not opposed to, but it falls apart if someone has a reason to nitpick.

When Nina enters the ball, she goes to very upset to not upset at all, and she notices. From that, she's on alert and notices other things, like everyone talking like they're in a Jane Austen novel and the dancing. The other shopkeepers who didn't have such a jarring experience when entering just went with the flow. The fact that Maggie didn't notice anything at first works against the theories that she has any sort of supernatural powers in my opinion. Nina points out the weirdness to Maggie, which raises her awareness, and she's a sweet person who likes Aziraphale and doesn't want to leave him in danger, so his miracle doesn't work. I also think that he *could* make her forget (like Crowley hypnotizing Sister Loquacious in season 1), but that he's avoiding being too heavy-handed.

And as a bonus, it means that there's a bit of a build-in safeguard if you're invited by local ethereal entity trying to set-up humans couple by altering their behavior, state of mind and mode of expression: anything too jarring would snap you out of it.

Hello! Do you happen to know why Aziraphale's miracles don't work on Maggie in ep6? He tries to make her forget and leave and she just answers: "Are you trying to hypnotise me?" We don't see any miracle blockers though.

Hiya! :) I'm afraid I have no idea! :) <3

Translated: "According to initial estimates, the left comes first in the second round of the legislative elections, slightly ahead of the presidential camp.

At 8 p.m., according to the first estimates from the Ipsos institute with the Talan group for France Télévisions, Radio France, France24/RFI and LCP-National Assembly, the left-wing coalition Nouveau Front populaire comes out on top in the second round of elections legislative elections, with between 172 and 192 seats.

The presidential camp gathered under the Ensemble banner would win between 150 and 170 seats.

The National Rally and its allies (the fraction of the Les Républicains party which followed the contested president of the party, Eric Ciotti, in his alliance with the RN) would obtain from 132 to 152 seats.

The Les Républicains party, for its part, would win between 57 and 67 seats."

Let's see how it goes.

We'll have the first results of the French legislative election in 5 hours. On the off chance that someone who reads this is still on the fence, go vote for whichever candidate isn't RN.

This is Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise speaking. We’ve entered the orbit of a planet not terribly unlike our own… save that it is exclusively populated by petty old queens.

Listening to these people talking themselves into doing the one thing they've been warned not to do is HILARIOUS. Well, maybe we SHOULD go down Copland Road...
