- I just need to find a receptive body. (Like all of us, Aziraphale, like all of us).
- Harder than you'd think. (I bet, Crowley thinks it's impossible).
- I'm not going to go there. (Aziraphale is so naive, and Crowley is such a gentleman ><).
In the S1, Gabriel is an unpleasant character - he is arrogant and sometimes really cruel. He has no empathy for people and his subordinates. When Gabriel loses his memory in the S2, he becomes completely different. Yes, he behaves like a child, but he is a kind child whose first motives are honesty and a desire to help people. When Aziraphale says that Gabriel was a terrible person, Gabriel asks him - And now? I assume that along with his memories, Gabriel extracted something else that controlled his behavior and influenced his personality. That's what I'm basing my guess on:
There are three scenes when Gabriel remembers something. I should immediately note that there are two types of these memories.
1.The first two memories do not belong to Gabriel, he was not present at these events. One memory from the past (for some reason it seems to me that it is addressed to Aziraphale), and the second memory from the future (for Crowley). When Gabriel speaks, his eyes change color, his consciousness turns off, he experiences physical pain and discomfort.
2.His own memories of events from the present. His eyes don't change color. It is obvious that Gabriel has kept pieces of his memory, his mind and the temperament of a gentle and sympathetic character.
Now learn more about the first and third memories.
1.Crowley asks - What is the very first thing you remember? Gabriel speaks the words of God that he spoke to Job. These lines were about the creation of the Earth. This cannot be Gabriel's first memory, but more on that later.
2.The most important thing is the third memory. Here is the scene and dialogue between Crowley and Gabriel. Crowley accuses Gabriel of involvement in Aziraphale's execution and cruel words. Gabriel replies that it couldn't have been him. After Gabriel's attempt to jump out of the window, Crowley says:
-"Well, if you're really not him, what are you?" (that is, Crowley is ready to believe that this is not the Gabriel he knew.)
-"I don't know, I feel… like, an empty house. A house someone lived for a very long time, but now they're gone (not "he" not "it", not "has gone" - "They") and the house can sort of tell where the things used to be. Like when I remembered how it all begin."
The "house" is Gabriel's brain. Some "they" lived in it. They left traces of memory there, so Gabriel was able to remember how it all begin. So "It" began for Gabriel right then, at the moment of God's conversation with Job. When the events with Job took place, God and Satan had an bet (and obviously had a personal conversation.)
Red rays descend on Job. Do you expect white or gold rays from God
I assume that at this moment something was implanted into Gabriel's personality, and his eyes turned violet. Gabriel is literally the only character with such eyes. Was it a joint work of God and Satan? The violet miracle is a powerful miracle that occurs when combining the miracles of the red and blue spectrum. (a violet pillar appeared above the bookshop after the joint miracle of azicro.) "This" suppressed Gabriel's personality, but when he fell in love, his personality became more mature and came into conflict with "this". Then Metatron was sent to depose Gabriel and take away "it" from him under the guise of taking away memory.
It follows from all this, if Aziraphale is hired to replace Gabriel, then he will receive this control and obsession. Maybe that's what happens to him in the elevator.
For the sake of objectivity, I will note. This theory is contradicted by the fact that Gabriel's eyes remained violet after gaining memory. Aziraphale's eyes did not turn violet. Although in that case, the solution would be too obvious.
Definitely wrong! Don't bother husbands with women and clarinets!
Dear Aziraphale. If Crowley goes even slower, he will have to move in the opposite direction. Six thousand damn years, who could be more delicate?
He's so incredibly handsome! At the same time, 100 things are happening in me - I want to stare at him forever without blinking, I want to eat him, I want to be him, I want to become Aziraphale and kiss him. I know this is an unhealthy topic. I hope when I write another 10 or 20 posts with such nonsense, I will be able to heal my heart.
It is necessary to read the first part.
Modern problems of the Tigris River: (as well as other great rivers)
1.The Tigris River plays a crucial role in agriculture and providing people with food. But in recent decades, the river has been drying up. This leads to a lot of troubles, including famine of the poor people. The horseman of the apocalypse Famine gets a tool - Scales. In his hands, the Scales are desecrated and become a symbol of unfair measure and restrictions.
2.There are a number of problems between countries that actively use the river. These problems require wise solutions and peace agreements. But unfortunately, the countries continue to exchange mutual accusations about the irrational use of the river. This does not solve the pressing problems, but only exacerbates the conflict. (In S1E2 shows a scene in Africa where War came - this is a real conflict problem concerning the Nile River and the inhabitants of Egypt and Ethiopia.) The Horseman of the Apocalypse War receives a Sword, in her hands the sword symbolizes the weapon of war.
3.Due to the drainage of rivers, there is a shortage of clean fresh water. In addition to drying out, there is the problem of direct pollution from coastal factories, oil refineries and landfills. Citizens have to use polluted water. Thousands of people suffer from poisoning every year. (Lesley visited Africa Nile River), and Des Moines in America (Mississippi River.) The horseman of the apocalypse Pollution gets the Crown. The desecrated crown is a symbol of unholy domination and control.
I write entertainment content, but these problems are real and their scale cannot be overestimated! Great rivers are dying from pollution, drying up and wasteful use!
4.So, after the three horsemen of the apocalypse have been defeated by the three virtues (three children), the divine weapons return to the deliveryman. He will return the items to the owner, but who is the owner and who gave the packages to Lesley? We know that the sword was lost and several persons including God and angels, asked Aziraphale about this sword. So the sword wasn't in heaven.
5.Okay, here's the classic Justice Tarot card:
You can see she has Scales a Sword and a Crown. Scales in its true meaning symbolizes balance and justice. The Sword is a symbol of mind and law, it is able to separate truth from lies. The Сrown is a symbol of recognized divine authority. Is God in GO "Justice"? Or is it another character?
6.I assume Lesley will give these tools to his wife. If his wife really is the prototype of the goddess of justice. A bit of history - Initially, only Scales was associated with the goddess Maat, the goddess of justice. (She was putting a feather on the scales to weigh a human heart at the posthumous trial.) As the centuries passed, she became an independent figure and received a Sword and a blindfold (a symbol of impartiality.) In medieval Europe, she received the throne, and the blindfold was replaced by a Crown.
Here's my theory. Lesley is the spirit or prototype of the Great Divine River (Tiger, Nile, Lethe or all of them) Maud is the prototype of Matelda, the priestesses who keeps knowledge and fulfills holy vows. She is probably a goddess who acting the duties of a fair judge. Lesley and Maud are neutral characters, they don't belong to heaven or hell. I really hope they will appear in the third season. And I also hope to see a court scene in the third season. (it was a long way..)
A sweet rainbow was left in the book of predictions for Aziraphale.
But for him, the rainbow is only God's "promise not to drown everyone again"
There is a Dark-n-Stormy cocktail on the menu today. According to some sources, it was invented in the 1920s in Bermuda by the British brothers. Ginger beer, lime juice and dark rum, which gives the drink the color of a thundercloud. I hope this drink will make it a little easier to wait for the S3. They say it helps with motion sickness (on an emotional roller coaster.)
On the signs above the heroes it says "Honey sweets" and "Sky suits" (yes, there's an extra letter e, but who cares). Angels call the human body they are in on Earth a suit.

Staged S2E8 «Until They Get Home»
Michael and David say goodbye for a long time, while taxi is waiting for a David. He has to drive away to work. Michael tries to hold him back and talks about books and love. For a person who is ready to see references everywhere, this is a very fertile material (I hope the word "fertile" is appropriate here).
1 The ending of the book The Crow Road, which Crowley advised to read, is very similar to this scene. The characters come to mutual love at the end of the book, but they need to break up because one of them has to drive away to work. And a taxi is waiting for her. The hero tries to keep his beloved at least for a short time, comes up with something else to say and prolonging the conversation. If it's not a coincidence, it's very sweet.
2 The simplest thing. Michael talks about Ouroboros and how everything starts where it ends. With these words, the series begins, and the desire of many is for everything to end in the garden. Ouroboros is a symbol of eternity and the cyclical alternation of life and death. We can always see it on Crowley's belt.
3 Michael asks David if he has read The Last Question. This is a short fantasy and philosophical-theological story by Isaac Asimov. It starts with two friends drinking and arguing about eternity. One claims that there is enough energy for eternity. The second one says nothing lasts forever >< (because of the damn entropy). Then millions of years pass and each new civilization asks the same question. Is it possible to stop entropy, not to let death take its toll? The book ends with the words: "let there be light! And there was light-"
So I am waiting for a new round of Ouroboros and the birth of a new universe. Like a "LIGHT!Camera!Action!" and the love ending of course.
The thought that in season 3 all will end in the garden (of Eden) seems comforting. The voice of God explicitly promised this. But the first season was an independent and complete story. In this film, several Chekhov's guns were suspended, and all of them fired in their turn (as they should in good literature and cinema).
"This story began as it will end in the garden of Eden with an apple," says the voice of God. This apple has caused trouble for people. And they were forced to escape from their comfortable place to the dangerous world outside.
This story ends as a mirror image.
Adam Young is forced to stay in the garden (of his house). But all the interesting is outside. Including a tree with forbidden apples. We can see there are already harvested apples near the bench where he is sitting in the garden. But he is interested in those that have not yet been collected - other people's apples. Of course, apples symbolize knowledge. And this time Adam runs away from his cozy garden of his own free will.
I assume that season 3 will not end in the garden.
