Headcanon: Alec Hardy has a secret love of folk music and he’ll never turn off anything by Peter Paul and Mary, Mady Prior, or Jim Croce. One of his favorite songs was ‘Time In a Bottle’ until he and Tess divorced. Ellie Miller owns several cds by the band Journey and she listens to Queen when she can, although Joe never cared for them so she had to limit when she listened to their music. 

They realize each other’s likes in music when they never move to turn those bands off when they play on the radio.

A thought: Good Omens, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and Welcome to Night Vale each give off distinct, yet related energies.

you know it’s really hard to obsess about just one fandom. just really freaking hard, it’s like you look at people who can be into Harry Potter for ten years of their life and I’m just over here thinking HOW DO YOU STAY IN ONE FANDOM FOR 10 FREAKING YEARS I DON’T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME

HECK yes, it's Echo!

I've loved Echo since the New Avengers comics that first introduced her years ago. Very excited to see her in the MCU!

I don’t care what part she plays, I’m just super excited about Sarah Parish acting in a show with DT again (hopefully alongside him like she has previously in Blackpool, Recovery, and of course Doctor Who).

The more I watch Peter Capaldi the more I NEED him to make an appearance on Broadchurch.

Preferably as Alec’s dad. Think of the drama. And the eyebrows. And the loud Scottish angry outbursts.

Mark calling Chloe the way he did at the end of episode 6 season 3 made me really angry as much as it broke my heart. Because if he had really succeeded in ending his own life the way he wanted, then his daughter would have had to live with that final conversation for the rest of her life. Chloe would have undoubtedly blamed herself if he really had died, wishing she’d gone to find him like she had wanted during their phone conversation. 

Youtube just recommended re-watching the Broadchurch series 2 trailer, and I had genuinely forgotten I had been more excited for that to air on January 5th than I had been for Christmas.

Aziraphale’s and Crowley’s discussions are interesting in Good Omens simply because their such utterly different approaches to them. Now I really enjoy Crowley’s points but right now I’m focusing on Aziraphale’s side because despite the several years he’s lived on Earth and the books upon books he’s read he falls back on one simple reason for everything that happens.

Ineffability,

And maybe that reason works sometimes. And it certainly does; it leaves just enough wriggle room, just enough doubt, that his opponent can’t definitely say that he’s wrong. After all, in Good Omens God is real even if He hasn’t been seen or heard from in a few millennia. Crowley can’t say that there isn’t a Higher Plan.

But what he does do is learn how to counter-argue the Ineffability reason.

It seems to me that at this point Aziraphale is using the Ineffable Plan as an excuse. It’s like hearing all the churchgoers out there when questioned about God’s existence or why bad things happen to good people they simply reply, ‘You have to take it by faith, that’s all.’ Take it be faith, take it for Ineffability.

Which of course leads to Crowley’s logical rebuttals. That’s the key difference, I think, when looking at their conversations. Aziraphale relies on the possibility of the Ineffable Plan, while Crowley has taken the time to learn how to perceive an argument on all sides and come up with a counter argument for everything the angel says. His reasons make sense, which only highlights how desperate Aziraphale’s Ineffable argument sounds sometimes.

Which just makes it all the more brilliant when he uses the Ineffable argument to run circles around Metatron and Beelzabub later on in the story.

Wriggle room always wins an argument. He must have learned it from Crowley.
