So I’m Doing A Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Rewatch (to Remind Myself Of When The Show Was Good). I Got To

Also, I hope they put the opening of Aziraphale’s book shop in. It was deleted from the first season, but it’s such a great “crowley being mischievous and also needing Aziraphale more than anything” scene.

Crowley’s Type?

Season Two Spoilers Below

Okay, so when Shax and Aziraphale are in the car, Shax says to Aziraphale, “You don’t seem his [Crowley’s] type at all.”

…

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

What does she think Crowley’s type is? What is she basing this assumption on? Crowley’s aesthetic? Did Crowley curate some kind of reputation as a lusty tempter of goths downstairs in some hilarious scheme? How?! He’s so bad at that kind of stuff!

Maybe she’s just preying on Aziraphale’s insecurities?

I need to know!!!!

uh...yeah cause it's stealing from real actual humans who are good at it

Good Omens Incorrect Quotes Part 1

Yeah, I found the incorrect quotes generator so…

I know some of these have been done but…

Crowley: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy.

Aziraphale: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep.

Crowley: I said within reason, Aziraphale. How about I murder that guy?

Aziraphale: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't?

Crowley: Well, duh. What kind of question is that

*

Aziraphale: I have feelings for you.

Crowley: Why? What's wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?

*

Crowley: Aziraphale, you love me, right?

Aziraphale: Normally I’d say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won’t like.

*

Crowley: Relationships should be 50/50. Aziraphale cooks us dinner while I sit on the kitchen counter looking pretty.

*

Crowley: My hands are cold.

Aziraphale: Here, let me hold them.

Crowley: My lips are cold too.

Aziraphale: *covers Crowley's mouth with their hand*

*

Aziraphale: I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you.

Crowley: That's great, Aziraphale. Especially considering the fact we've been married for 6000 f***ing years.

*

Aziraphale: Are you sure Crowley's even gay? They barely even looked at me.

*

Crowley, sweating: Aziraphale, there’s something I need to ask you-

Aziraphale: Finally! You’re proposing!

Crowley: How’d you know?

Aziraphale: Crowley, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.

Aziraphale: I even picked it up once.

*

Aziraphale: You have to apologize to them Crowley.

Crowley: Fine! But I must warn you that this might make me a better, nicer person and that is NOT the person you fell in love with!

*

Crowley: I am so cool. I am an absolute Chad. I am the epitome of coolness and awesomeness—

Aziraphale: Hi.

Crowley: *melts down in a flustered heap of softness*

*

Aziraphale, to Crowley: We had a date!

Aziraphale: *aggressively points to Hello Kitty Coloring Book*

*

Aziraphale: Are we fighting or flirting?

Crowley: I'm pinning you against a wall with my hand around your neck-

Aziraphale: Your point?

*

Aziraphale: Is something burning?

Crowley, leaning seductively on the counter: Just my desire for you.

Aziraphale: Crowley, the toaster is literally on fire.

I reread this snippet from the book:

“Aziraphale had tried to explain it to him once. The whole point, he’d said—this was somewhere around 1020, when they’d first reached their little Arrangement—the whole point was that when a human was good or bad it was because they wanted to be. Whereas people like Crowley and, of course, himself, were set in their ways right from the start. People couldn’t become truly holy, he said, unless they also had the opportunity to be definitively wicked. Crowley had thought about this for some time and, around about 1023, had said, Hang on, that only works, right, if you start everyone off equal, okay? You can’t start someone off in a muddy shack in the middle of a war zone and expect them to do as well as someone born in a castle.”

And I had a few thoughts:

1. Aziraphale and Crowley spent 3 years straight having a philosophical debate. (This isn’t a whole lot of time considering their lifespans). Or they just spent three years around each other, then this rebuttal spontaneously occurred to him, and he blurted this out to Aziraphale out of nowhere (kind of like how the “ducks! That’s what water slides off” incident, just more prolonged).

2. Aziraphale and Crowley saw each other once in 1020, had this debate, and Crowley thought of nothing else but Aziraphale (more specifically Aziraphale’s argument, but still…). He came with this answer and either hung onto it in nervous excitement until he sees Aziraphale again or actively seeks out Aziraphale immediately to make this counter argument. He says it even in lieu of greeting before he can forget it.

Side note: I also think Crowley really wants to show off to his bookish angel that he’s smart too.

Did…did Joel just use his wife as a napkin? Like, he drags his hand down her shoulder after touching food. But ASP wants me to think this guy is Midge’s one true love? Okay.

Beatrice, poking Hero’s arm: Hero Hero. Hero. Hero.

Okay, so I’m working on Part 4 of Domestic Burlesque, it’s just that it covers 1964-1966 (if you know you know). Obviously, it’s going to end happily, but it gets pretty dark. So, I decided to post a little bit of fluff first. Please let me know what you think!

I watched the first three episodes of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5.

I…Eh…

First of all, where is the Gaslight? We haven’t seen it in so long.

Second, I’m sad to see that there’s still a lack of long stand-up performances…in this show about a comedienne. This was a problem in season 4, and I hope they fix it as S5 goes on.

I’m so glad season 4 Midge is mostly gone. I hated how insufferable she was in Season 4 and that Susie was never able to get through to her. That’s the core of their relationship, and I don’t like that it took so long for her to get over herself.

The flash forward openings were…weird. On one hand, Miriam being kind of an absentee mother makes some sort of sense, but seeing her as another version of Rose is kind of disappointing.

As is the reveal that she’s apparently been married four more times. Like, why can’t she find happiness? I never liked the arc about ending up alone, but I was willing to accept it as Midge putting romantic relationships on hold for a bit after putting it ahead of everything for so long.

But apparently she no longer speaks to Susie either? I HATE the explanation they give too. Their whole “we’re not friends, we’re coworkers” finished midway through the second season, and was a huge and endearing bit of Susie’s growth. I’m sure they’ll expand on it, but it’s just sad. And they showed the inverse of it mostly effectively in Season 3.

I hate that this show seems to really be doubling down on its message of “you have to be alone and distant from literally anyone to achieve your dreams.”

Season 1 and Season 2 (barring the finale) were about finding personal growth by pursuing your own ambitions.

Season 3, which I didn’t enjoy as much, is where the “ending up alone to succeed” stuff really started after being seeded in the Season 2 finale. Yeah, it’s hinted at in the S2 premiere, but it’s more about the final end of Midge and Joel specifically. The plot line with Ben is also more about Midge opening up with a potential romantic partner, and how perhaps she isn’t ready or compatible with someone in that moment enough to settle down.

She’s only about a year out from her divorce, so it makes sense that she realizes that she isn’t ready to settle down again.

I don’t really get why she decided that one failed relationship automatically equals alone forever. I guess it’s because she’s also super influenced by Lenny’s performance, but…that’s another problem. Her idolization of him is just such a weird step in the wrong direction for her character.

She’s putting him on a pedestal the same way she did with Joel, and it’s him that is the one to get her out of her self-destructive phase.

Susie once told her “You do not need a … man at your side to do this”. Except she does.

I hate some of the messaging in this show, but hopefully the final episodes will make up for the stuff I didn’t like just like the Lenny and Midge blue room scene did last season.
