Whickber Street and beyond (sorry this is so long!!)
I have A LOT of questions. Like so many questions.
The Whickber Street of S1 is so different from the Whickber Street we see in S2.
This is what we got in S1. Muted colors, concrete and steel, and overcast skies. Nothing about Whickber Street stands out in S1. It's dull and drab.
Compare that to the Whickber Street we see in S2.
The sun seems to be shining most of the time. People are wearing bright colors. There are trees.
Whickber Street seems to be a small island of paradise and a safe place for everyone who ventures there.
What is happening here? Is this because Adam changed reality after the failed apocalypse? Why do we never see anyone spend money?
Is this the peaceful existence that Aziraphale and Crowley have carved out for themselves?
Or is someone else pulling all the strings?
When Crowley questioned Nina about the name of her coffee shop, she said all the other names were taken.
Mutt runs the magic shop that Aziraphale and Crowley visited in 1941, and we all know the original owner was eaten by the Nazi zombies. The magic shop still looks very much like it did in 1941 too.
It's strange that there is a French restaurant, and French is the only language in the world that Aziraphale isn't fluent in.
Maggie runs a record shop even though no one buys records anymore, but it's where Aziraphale gets his music.
How long has the Dirty Donkey been an elevator for Heaven and Hell?
Nina seems to be the only character who ever notices that things on Whickber Street are...strange? She immediately notices that things are weird when she walks into the shopkeepers meeting. She was upset that she wasn't upset because she knew she had a reason to be upset. She constantly questions why Maggie owns a record shop because no one buys records.
She even says she would be more worried about someone breaking into the record shop to leave more records, and Maggie has gained A LOT of copies of "Every Day" that she's never going to be able to sell.
It's weird that she ends up with all the extra copies of "Every Day" from a pub in Scotland and it happens to be a clue that leads Aziraphale to investigating what might have happened to Gabriel.
The very place where the Gabriel statue exists. The one they were standing in front of when Crowley was pulled back down into Hell after preventing Elspeth from killing herself. The one Aziraphale was standing in front of when he was having that exact memory and says that was the last time he was to see Crowley for a long time.
Why did he end his diary entry with that sentence when it had only been a month since they had been to Edinburgh? Did he write that or was it an afterthought?
Why does Gabriel seem to be a harbinger of doom for Crowley and Aziraphale?
What's the significance of faces? Is all of this a dream?
Gabriel lost his memory and Aziraphale names him Jim to avoid confusion. Aziraphale and Crowley did a miracle that would ensure no one would recognize Gabriel/Jim even if they were looking for him.
Is this something that has been done to Aziraphale and Crowley when you see all the other familiar faces?
Maggie shares a face with the Chattering Nun that Hastur killed.
Nina shares a face with the Chattering Nun who became successful after their order was dissolved.
Furfur shares a face with Shakespeare and Shax shares a face with Madame Tracy.
Why do Aziraphale and Crowley not notice? I can understand them not noticing Maggie's face because we didn't see either of them interact with her in season one because Hastur killed her. But Crowley remembered Mary as the nun he met when he met her in season one, but he doesn't notice anything familiar about her face now? She mistakes them for a couple in both seasons.
Aziraphale literally lived in Madame Tracy's body for a short while after he accidentally got himself discorporated. It's not a face he or Crowley would forget because she was there when they averted the apocalypse. Why would they not notice that Shax shares her face?
Aziraphale was friendly with Shakespeare and loved his plays and Crowley did a miracle as a favor to Aziraphale so that Hamlet would be a success.
All four of these faces are in Aziraphale's bookshop on Whickber Street at the same time in the final episode.
Am I overthinking all of this? My brain refuses to accept that these actors returned to the show but in different roles for no reason at all.
So many things about the present day in season two just don't add up, and I think it's intentional, but it's going to drive me crazy until I have answers.
Will Aziraphale's absence on Whickber Street change things?
Is that the tempest Gabriel was referring to? The Metatron tempted Aziraphale back to Heaven by making him believe he would be able to work with Crowley.
And then great storms. Will his absence mean the weather is no longer perfect?
And the dead will walk the Earth once more.
Are the people on Whickber Street more than what they seem?
If anyone else actually reads this, are these the same questions you have as well??

So like…what is up with Oogie Boogie and Jack? Did I miss something from the movie? They clearly know each other well, Oogie seems,,frightened of Jack, Jack fucking hates him, the trio apparently likes both of them?? I can’t remember if we saw how other characters react to Oogie Boogie’s name (except Sally, but I can’t read her too well)

In my cinema class we had to do a report in an important director. We were assigned our directors, we didn't get to choose them (i did Mira Nair).
One girl in my class was assigned Martin Scorsese. She refused to watch any of his movies, or do any research further than Wikipedia because (and this is a direct quote) "hes 5'4 I'm not paying attention to anything a short white man has to say".
Then, completely unrelated to that, she admitted that she hasn't watched a single movie that we've been assigned because she hates movies.
Girl, why are you in a cinema class? This isn't required for anyone but film majors?
