Stop, you’re giving me too many ideas.

Good Omens Season 2 has hurt my heart that nothing but Season 3 redemption can heal.
The only reason Crowley lived in his car instead of being roommates with Aziraphale was because of Gabriel staying with Aziraphale in the bookshop.
Watching Good Omens season 2 was like reading the most perfect, slow-burn 100k-word fanfiction in a nice, relaxing bubble bath surrounded by scented candles. But when you get to the end, you realise it's an abandoned, unfinished fic that was last updated five years ago, and you are left alone with this earth-shattering cliffhanger, and on top of that, someone throws a toaster in.
"The worst he could say is no."
Aziraphale: "I forgive you."
In season 2, Crowley was rejected by Aziraphale for the THIRD TIME. In season 1, Crowley offers Aziraphale to leave with him, saying, “We’re on our side”, but Aziraphale rejects his idea. When Crowley asks, for the second time in season 1, to “go off together” to Alpha Centurai, Aziraphale rejects the idea AGAIN.
In season 2, Crowley tries to convince Aziraphale they‘re on their own side, away from Heaven and Hell; Heaven and the angels who rejected them both aren’t worth going back to. But once again, Aziraphale rejects the idea and goes back to heaven.
During the rejections, Aziraphale states, “I forgive you.” meaning he’s rejecting Crowley’s ideas, not him.
Getting rejected by Aziraphale wouldn’t be Crowley’s first reaction. He is a fallen angel, after all; God, Heaven, and the other angels have rejected him. Even Hell and the other demons had rejected him after Armageddon. Heck, even Crowley himself seems to have rejected himself; he calls himself a “Former Demon”.
While Aziraphale’s first and only rejection seems to be him getting kicked out of heaven after Armageddon.
The new Young Willy Wonka seems more like a mixture of Gene Wilder and Johnny Depp’s Willy Wonkas than just being a specific one of them.
For example, Young Wonka’s outfit seems more like Gene Wilder’s Wonka with the hat and the bright uniquely patterned shirt but the general colour scheme of his outfit such as his coat looks more like Johnny Depp’s Wonka.
Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka also doesn’t wear gloves. This is similar to Gene Wilder’s Wonka but it could also be because when he got older he wore gloves to look more professional or perhaps to hide the injury scars he got in his chocolate factory.
Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka has brown hair, similar to Johnny Depp’s Wonka.
Timothée Chalamet’s Wonka’s hair is also curly, he also has an optimistic charming smile and energy similar to Gene Wilder’s Wonka.
One of my favourite things about Good Omens is how there’s no homophobia.
Despite the biblical references, Aziraphale & Crowley’s relationship isn’t seen as a sin because of their sexuality.
Some may argue and say it’s because they’re an angel and a demon; they don’t have genders; therefore, they’re not gay. But they still present themselves as male humans to the general public and males around each other and Heaven and Hell.
Heaven and Hell don’t hate Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship because it seems like a same-sex relationship.
Heaven and Hell don’t like Aziraphale & Crowley in season 2 because they’re seen as “traitors” after Armageddon.
So, they’re not homophobic.
It’s similar to how, in The Owl House (another excellent TV show that got queer representation right), Amity’s parents hated Luz, not because she was a girl, instead because she was a “troublemaker human” to them.
