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.
sweetest honey candies
- Wherever you are, I'll come to you.
Such words, Crowley, are like large-caliber bullets. Leave a little bit of a living place in my heart.
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.
Aziraphale and Crowley arrive at the Tadfield Manor. Aziraphale feels love in this place. The picture shows a man wrapped in a snake, and on top of the gate there is a small angel (simulate the Cupid). The word Tad is also an old-fashioned word for a little boy.
As soon as the heroes pass through the gate, they are shot at. Crowley was hit squarely in the heart, and Aziraphale was hit in the shoulder.
After that, Crowley and Aziraphale's behavior changes - they begin to behave more playfully and even a little flirtatiously. At least two scenes filled with sensual tension take place in this location. If you know what I mean:
I also know one four-letter word. It starts with L...
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.
- For one prince of Heaven to be cast into the darkness makes a good story. For it to happen twice, makes it look like there is some kind of institutional problem.
According to Metatron, such disobedience to God happened only for the second time. The first person who doubted God's plans and was thrown into Hell for it was Crowley. So Crowley was a prince of Heaven and held the position of archangel Gabriel. Aziraphale will now take over this position. I'm sure he won't stay there for long either. :) This position is cursed as well as the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor (in the "Harry Potter") (: By the way, the institutional problem is a deep contradiction in the existing rules of the (paradise) system. Because the rules are inadequate or outdated. Such a problem leads to a change in the system or to its destruction.
Would it seem like a good story to you, Metatron, if yourself were thrown into darkness? Such an unpleasant character -_-
https://www.tumblr.com/dream-in-fall/756703713357414400/the-theory-of-the-name-anthony-j-crowley?source=share
I want to add to my theory. I thought about it and finally became convinced that the name Anthony J. Crowley means Antony Juliet. Crowley took the names of two Shakespearean characters who tragically died of forbidden love. Antony and Juliet both died from the sword \dagger. Their loved ones (Cleopatra and Romeo), respectively, died of poison. In the finale, Crowley was supposed to die from poison (holy water), and Aziraphale from a pillar of fire (a symbolic fiery sword). Now there is one less reason for a sleepless night.
Initial data: [Az] - Do you understand what happened yesterday? [Cr] - Well, I understand some of it. But some of it… well, it's just a little bit too [Death] - Ineffable
Objectively: 1 Two things happened last night. 2 Crowley understand one of these events. 3 The other event is Ineffable. 4 We also know that one of these events was a body swap.
To find: 1 What was the second event last night? 2 Which event does Crowley understand, and which is ineffable?
Additionally it is known: The first kiss happened in the S2.
My answer: 1 Last night they fell asleep in each other's arms >< 2 Death found such a close relationship between an angel and a demon ineffable. ^^
Theory One (Maggie and Nina)
Nina and Maggie can symbolize the two sides of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship. Maggie (this name means pearl, it is a symbol of hidden treasure and purity) this is the best thing about their relationship. It's their love for each other, for music and for the bookshope. This is confirmed by the jewelry on Maggie's neck (heart, snake and ring). This relationship is timid and it's hidden, like Maggie herself. Nina is the side of the relationship that is visible "on the surface". Nina is a responsible person, but she looks annoyed, a little rude, closed, distrustful. She is disappointed in her past relationships, which were toxic and there was no love in them. I will also note that Nina is active, she wants to sell her goods to people. Maggie's main theme is music, retro and love. For Nina, it seems to me, this is freedom (there are several statues of liberty in her cafe, one of which stands right on the counter). Including freedom of choice.
Theory two (choice, coffee and death)
So. In symbolism, coffee means awakening, awareness and life force. The torch of the Statue of Liberty means enlightenment, knowledge and optimism about the future. First. Nina offers a choice of coffee or death. In other words, to be alive or to be dead, to wake up or to sleep. Secondly. The hand of death is depicted on the wall, holding out a cup of coffee, like the Statue of Liberty holds out its torch. I can make the assumption that if you choose death, you will still get something. Once again, you make a choice to take a drink from Freedom or from Death. Nina said that no one had ever made such a choice, to which Metatron replied - people are so predictable.
What can death offer? In symbolism, she separates (with her scythe) body and soul, and irrevocable changes occur after her actions.
The third theory (choice without choice or something else)
So. Metatron brings Aziraphale coffee. The coffee was obtained from Nina, who symbolizes the dark side of the relationship between Azi and the Cro, a pinch of almond syrup was added to this cafe - it is what was good in this relationship (Maggie brought the ingredients to the coffee). So this drink is a concentrated version of their relationship. Next, Metatron is lying, claiming that he added a huge amount of almonds to the drink. Almonds in the symbolism of Christianity mean divine favor and hidden truth. Aziraphale asks if he should drink it. Metatron says literally: "Of course, I ingested things in my time, you know". I suppose he also refused something or made a difficult compromise (perhaps for the sake of his high position). Next, a conversation takes place in which Metatron, with the help of manipulation and cunning, compels Aziraphale to accept his offer. Of course, the coffee wasn't literally poisoned. The poison was in his words and intentions. I clarify, Aziraphale still did not make his choice of "coffee or death" when he took a drink from Metatron. And also when he talked to Metatron. At the same time, an equally important conversation takes place between Crowley and the girls. Both Aziraphale and Crowley are confused, events have gained momentum too quickly. There is a climactic conversation at the end of which there is actually (almost) nothing new for them. They always abruptly end the conversation by being rude to each other as soon as the conversation gets a little heated. But this time, fate has put Aziraphale in front of a choice for which there will be no turning back. It is now that Aziraphale is making his choice. Between love and death, he chooses death. When Aziraphale goes up in the elevator, you can see that his face is painfully changing, like his face is cramping up. This effect is highlighted by flashes of light. I explain this by the fact his soul and love remained on Earth (death separated his soul), and he dies - that is, irrevocably changes. Most likely, Maggie also received "death", since we see that she fell asleep in her little back room (of the bookstore).
