#funniest part is the conclusion 'i know exactly where S3 is going but shan't say bc im so certain of myself they would be spoilers' ok

[raziraphale]

not to vague about the batshit gomens theorist types but "this season is so bad it must be bad On Purpose" as the basis of an entire theory is just so wild to me.

like. first of all. something bad on purpose is still bad. even if that were true (it isn't), intentionality isn't a free pass. not saying things can't be bad on purpose, but if it requires a half hour powerpoint presentation to explain, I don't think that creative choice accomplished its goal. insert satire clarity of purpose copypasta here if you like.

second and more importantly though, S2 isn't nearly so bad that I was expecting people to need to invent conspiracy theories to cope with it. have none of you watched a mid tv show before? I promise you S2 is really fun and enjoyable to watch if you're not stuck up the author's asshole so far that you can't just say things like "the halo thing was a lazy resolution with no set-up" or "this character felt underdeveloped" and move on with your life. you can even say "I don't personally think this character would say/do that". I probably don't agree with you but you can still say it. god can't stop you. it's free, too.

#yes i read the essay i read the entire thing #i even agreed with some small parts of it but the starting premise of it being 'bad' on purpose is just... no #like oh yeah it would be cool if the metatron may have been manipulating aziraphale/the narrative beyond the last scene #long con would be cool #alas the evidence provided is bonkers yonkers #funniest part is the conclusion 'i know exactly where S3 is going but shan't say bc im so certain of myself they would be spoilers' ok #reilly.txt #no ill will towards the writer hope they're having fun i am just not on the same plane of existence #i survived the sherlock fandom you can't get me with this #good omens spoilers #good omens #tagging so people can blacklist but god now i have to brave this being searchable. lord
