    BOOK 15 The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion, by Matt Whyman. Years and years ago, I read Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s collaborative work Good Omens. It’s been so long, I scarcely remember the details of what went on in it. However, with the new TV series out, I decided to give...

    New Editions of Good Omens

    ...scenes! Neil Gaiman has said that the publisher was responsible for that; he himself was expecting all the deleted scenes to be in all print runs. However, if you search around the various tumblr fan sites for Good Omens, you can find all the deleted scenes posted, generally as photos of the...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a Carrot

    I'll start watching Game of Thrones when I have the time. I've had too much on my plate for most of my adult life. Working (or trying to find work), finding time to write, rehearsing (and performing), uncling two nieces and a nephew, family stuff ... and creating videos (with meaningful content)...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a Carrot

    ...It was a warning to his fans when that name appeared. Given the history, we cannot heap enough praise on Neil Gaiman for having guided Good Omens. It took up all his time for several years. Rhianna has her own career to create. They had permission to create new characters--that was the...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Neil Gaiman said that the BBC showing of Good Omens won't happen until sometime around February 2020. They have the right to show it starting at the end of November, but they didn't schedule it for then. No doubt this will spark more purchases of DVDs.

    ...that worked. Neil Gaiman recently said that back in 1991, when they were working up a screenplay and imagining casting actors for roles in Good Omens, they discovered that they had notably different ideas of what Aziraphale looked like. Terry thought Aziraphale was skinny, while Neil had...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    apple-duty on tumblr has reposted today (2019-09-08) a long analysis of Book!Good Omens with respect to the political climate in which it was written, with some references to Series!Good Omens and how it differs. It is by someone unnamed who is not on tumblr themselves, who writes very well but...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Good Omens is a heist movie. It begins with small thefts that have large repercussions - the apple, the sword (stolen by passing it on). Then services are 'stolen' by being traded off to the other side, for efficiency and personal ease. It's more like embezzling, because nobody ever checks up...

    ...to a second one even if powered down and thus presumably cleared. Like Newton Pulsifer, she was an accountant. I didn't get online until 1995, well after Good Omens was published. I can only wonder whether either Sir Terry or Neil Gaiman had met, or heard of, someone else with the same problem.

    Whoops, how did I miss this? :oops: Probably because I'm avoiding this particular sub-forum, because I don't want any Good Omens spoilers. ;) You'll enjoy it, Dug, I'm sure! Have fun. :-)

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    I spent approximately eight hours yesterday just going through one tumblr website, and I only got to page 30. While a lot of it is NSFW, there are some magnificent deconstructions of Good Omens, mainly the series but a few of the book. I recommend it. https://apple-duty.tumblr.com

    ...Demonic fashion statements. Supposedly the demons look like that because of the old canard about evil being ugly by nature. But in Good Omens, it varies. Beelzebub's facial goop isn't the same at all times. There's more of it in, I think, the trial scene when they're being official, and...

    ...isn't the Discworld Death, although it's similar. It's an Earthly Death, the same as War is an Earthly War, unlike the Discworld War. The Good Omens Death is more of a Neil Gaiman concept. In the Good Omens book, Death does speak in all-caps, but that was changed for the subtitles because...

    SPOILERS Discussion of Good Omens, the series

    Hi, How's everyone doing? I was really excited to watch Good Omens. I'm tremendously happy that they were reasonably faithful to the book, you could really feel the love throughout the whole series. Michael Sheen is the stand-out for me, he was absolutely perfect as were Michael McKean & Miranda...
