Good Omens, Seasons Three [Image: Prime Video]

Good Omen’s season three released yesterday. It was originally a six-episode series however due to controversy around Niel Gaiman’s participation in the series, it was cut short to be one big episode.

Season three cuts to the present day with Crowley passed out in an alleyway. Then it cuts to Aziraphale as the Supreme Archangel talking with the Archangels about how Jesus has been resurrected for the Second Coming.

Jesus then wanders off to earth and starts talking to people and we see the reappearance of Mutt’s Spouse, a transgender character played by non-binary actor Andrew O’Neill.

Aziraphale visits his old bookshop and Crowley confronts him, saying “I wasn’t going to lose this place as well” in a reminder to Aziraphale that he left.

During the Jesus leaving situation, we find out The Book of Life has been stolen and The Metatron disappears, presumably removed from the Book of life.

The duo later realises who has stolen The Book of Life, Archangel Michael. They leave to try find them and realise they are at the Eternal Flame ripping out pages and burning them in order to destroy The Book of Life.

They then talk to Michael; however, the duo is unable to stop Michael from burning the entire book.

Crowley saves Aziraphale’s bookshop and Aziraphale, Crowley, Satan and God are the only beings left in the universe.

God told Crowley he can ask his question, one questions with one answer.

Crowley asked why She made people and why They punish them when they are being human?

Aziraphale also asks a question.

“Why give me Crowley, why make me complete, and then take it away?”

This question is enough to make Good Omen’s fans sob, myself included in that.

God gives them an important decision.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

I thought this was a beautiful ending to what was a challenging series to end. The concept of them finding each other in every universe is a troupe that is usually overdone however I felt as though this episode has done it beautifully.

The ‘falling in love in every universe’ troupe does have its drawbacks, as it contradicts the point of this new universe, that they are meant to have free will but if they are together every universe then that gives into the thoughts of philosophical determinism.

Will there always be a God, dictating the events of the universe? Does that mean Angels and Demons do exist in that universe?

There are endless possibilities but that is Good Omens. A world is endless possibilities.
