    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Impressive that people are doing analysis on the Good Omens musical, given that it's only in 'workshop' stage at this point. A team in Sydney, Australia are putting it together. They held a "shoestring" work-in-progress performance last year which some of the Australian Discworld Convention team...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    There is a huge amount of analysis of Good Omens on tumblr sites, both Novel and Series (and some of Radio and Musical). Yet there are topics and interpretations that I have not seen covered. There is, for instance, admiration of Michael Sheen's microexpressions, which are read as giving...

    ...obsessives online who are also part of the television audience. There were, I don't know, six or eight or ten contenders in each category. Good Omens won in three categories, I learned from a tumblr site. Good Omens won in the 2020 Tell-Tale TV Awards in categories: Favorite Limited...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    ...story that is not horror, and the intended approach seems to fit Gaiman's original half-a-story, "William the Antichrist", which became Good Omens. Also, it is fairly short and intended to be fairly light in parts, and as such might be considered to be roughly equivalent to the half of GO...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    ...Callaway used were Moving Pictures (for PTerry) and Coraline (for Gaiman). Moving Pictures was published in 1990, the same year that Good Omens was published. Moving Pictures was the tenth Discworld book, and it was after Guards! Guards! I think it qualifies as a representative sample of his...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    There is a statement by Pratchett (reported somewhere by Neil Gaiman) about the writing of Good Omens, which is that they brought back characters who had died in the Novel because "nobody should die because of Adam." I take that to mean that even Ligur comes back, and there's an issue that I...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Elizabeth Callaway, a specialist in literary analysis, worked up Good Omens and found evidence in the styles of who wrote most of which parts. As they always said, each of them had a finger in each part of the book, but some were more noticeably in one's style than in the other's style (but note...

    "Staged", planned to come out in June 2020, starring Tennant and Sheen

    Considering the chemistry that Tennant and Sheen formed between them during Good Omens, I'll definitely be giving this a watch.

    Discworld has found its home

    I always find the best adaptations are the ones in my head when I read the books. I have to say the recent adaptation of Good Omens was excellent. As to the other DW films, they were alright, but I wouldn't watch them more than once. I'm not even sure whether I've seen Going Postal. :/

    What does Eric the Disposable Demon do in Good Omens, again? I don't think I remember him. Is this him?

    New book coming out

    There'll be a cheaper version available from standard bookstores, just like with the Good Omens illustrated edition.

    What Are You Reading 4

    I'm doing a close rereading of the current paperback of Good Omens. Between the novel, the script, and the series, it gets confusing. Not quite as divergent as the various forms of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but there are shifts in emphasis. Depending on some of the changes, the...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    I've been looking at the fan art for Good Omens online, because when one searches for comments, they are usually mixed in with fanart. Much of it isn't to my taste but some I like, and some of the spinoff cartoons are funny. (Search for Crow-Ley and Aziradove, and also Abziraphale, which are...

    Good Omens.

    I just watched it again the last few days. It really was a good adaptation, with enough new stuff to make it not an exact copy.

    The Watch stills

    "Also inspired in part by Good Omens the series" I think. Their "Vimes" has a neckcloth that resembles Crowley's necktie effect.

    The program about Sir Terry. BBC2

    I watched this program after watching the first episode of Good Omens. I thought it very well made & it brought tears to my eyes in places too. Lovely that people are still keeping his name & books alive.

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    I watched Good Omens on DVD, all of the series, I have the DVD. I had already read the book, now I am watching the episodes on BBC2. I loved the story & my Daughter, not a TP fan, watched it with me, amazingly she loves it too. I am not into dissecting every scene or passing comments on the...
