There are only 2 small mentions of the 20s in the series:
00:29:19 S1E1
[Aziraphale]
"I have several very nice bottles of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the back. I picked up a dozen cases in 1921, and there's still some left for special occasions."
00:38:04 S2E1
"You see, the record shop was opened by my great grandmother in the 1920s. Originally, our shop was in a corner of Mr. Fell’s bookshop."
I didn't find anything else. But it seems to me this time and the event that happened then are important.
In 1920s, great-grandmother Maggie's record store appeared at the Aziraphale bookshop. In 1921, Aziraphale somehow gets several bottles of French wine (it is stored in the back room, that's the name of Maggie's store). Who was Maggie's great-grandmother?
This wine is for special occasions. Aziraphale and Crowley drink it in 1941 in a romantic candlelit setting. The second time they drink it is in S1E1, when they decide to act together. (Even in the final episode of S1, they drink regular champagne at the Ritz.)
Everything French in the film is connected with love. And Aziraphale has certain difficulties with this. He talks easily about divine love for people and the like. But when it comes to romantic love, it confuses him. (and he couldn't learn French.)
In general, I would be interested to find out more about the events of the 1920s and I hope to see this flashback in S3.
Crowley appears at the cemetery in his car to the music of Queen. The song Bohemian Rhapsody is playing - a song about a guy who has committed a sin, and there is painful confusion in his soul.
Crowley gets back into the car, and the DJ on the radio says:
"When Queen released Bohemian Rhapsody in 1975, it was because…" and he is interrupted by the voice of Satan, he finishes this phrase:
"you earned it, Crowley!"
Thus, Satan says that this song was written in honor of Crowley, for having a hand in the opening of the M25 highway. This was the height of his demonic genius. By the way, the M25 highway also appeared in 1975
P.s. I didn't find this mini fact in t.
P.s.s. although, probably, all the songs (from GO) are sorted out to the smallest detail)
"I'm very good at forgivenness"
Yes, we know! -_- Please stop doing this!
Your face when, after 6,000 years, you decided to spend the night in a demon's apt. And spooky and sweet, isn't it?
I took some screenshots from the "Blood and Ice Cream" trilogy, they are not in chronological order:
I hope you will watch these films: Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End. They're definitely worth it. When you watch, keep GO in mind, maybe it will be more interesting this way.
P.s. Not all the matches that I found are shown in the screenshots. There's also a silly Shakespeare play that the characters are watching. A mime depicting a golden statue Dude in black, pretend to be Death A car that goes into a firestorm some small things (like posters or a goat)
Addition! To the trilogy of Blood and ice cream, it is necessary to add the film Burke and Hare (2010). In this movie, two guys steal dead bodies from a cemetery in Edinburgh (at first) and sell it to a doctor who studies anatomy and tries to save lives. The first body is carried in a barrel for pickled herring)) Simon Pegg plays in all these films (he was also a guest actor in the series "Staged")
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"
- Angels aren't occult. We're ethereal. - So what's the difference? - Crowley, these are the basics! Occult means hidden and secret. This term refers more to the field of practice. It is the ability to manipulate natural laws to achieve certain goals. My essence is the etheric body, it retains the appearance of a physical body and is also in direct contact with my higher consciousness in heaven… Hey, are you listening? - Yeah it's very interesting.. Look at the statue right behind you. - Gosh, that statue… such… - Such obscene? Is that why you're speechless and can't give boring lectures anymore? - Uh well no not really.. - Is it such big? And you won't be able to drag it into your bookshop. - Crowley, this is ridiculous.. - Oh no, it's probably such retro? Therefore, you were visited by unconscious but pleasant thoughts. - "angelic groan of a martyr."
-I'd hate to see you getting into any trouble. I would love to help me.
-But one excludes the other, Angel. Can I choose the option with the word "love"?
-But I want both.
-Whatever you say, my Angel.
Yes, Crowley, please. It's so hot here. And maybe it will distract Aziraphale and me from your tight jeans and all that..
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..)
An excerpt from Neil Gaiman's book "The Ocean at the End of the Lane":
"I said, "I'm sorry I let go of your hand, Lettie." "Oh, hush," she said. "It's always too late for sorries, but I appreciate the sentiment. And next time, you'll keep hold of my hand no matter what she throws at us." I nodded. The ice chip in my heart seemed to warm then, and melt, and I began to feel whole and safe once more."
I hope the next time, whenever and wherever it is, they will hold each other's hands.
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine"
