The Theory Of Lesley And Maud (the First Part)

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)

The theory of The Crow Road

I read The Crow Road, as Crowley advised. I noticed some funny parallels with the GO. I will try to list them briefly:

The hero talks a lot about religion and the injustice of this world. This is similar to the argument between Crowley and Aziraphale in S2E3 (1837).

There is a scene where the hero enthusiastically talks about the creation of the universe and how beautiful it is. This, of course, is very similar to the scene of the S2E1.

At the end of the book, the hero gets a Bentley. There is nothing special here anymore, the car does not play a big role. But a Bentley is a Bentley and not every hero has one.

The main character has a crisis of faith. He argues with God and wants to comprehend him. There is an episode in the book where the hero and his girlfriend are having a conversation about God. His girlfriend says that God is incomprehensible. When you try to understand one part of it, you inevitably miss something else. So it is in the film - Crowley is a disappointed and doubting character, and Aziraphale accepts God without understanding him.

Rory is the hero's missing relative. I draw a parallel with Gabriel here. He's gone, and the only thing left is a matchbox. The story about Rory in the book also looks crumpled. But I found another reference.

Rory's favorite movie is Queen Christina (1933). This is another story about tragic forbidden love. And one of the characters is named Anthony (in the Spanish - Antonio). It's like in the movie "Inception" or like in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" - we go deeper and deeper down the paper steps. In this story, Antonio and Cristina were going to board a ship and sail to the islands of moon and settle in a house on a cliff. (by the way the Islands of the Moon is an outdated name for the Comoros archipelago, located in the Indian Ocean). I like to think that Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet have taken over this cliff house.

Well, the main thing. The romance between the hero and his girlfriend. It is obvious throughout the book that the girl loves our hero. Our hero moves for a long time, but also comes to love. There is an explanation of love between the characters, a scene of intimacy, and then they are orced to part. But the reader can be sure that two lovers will definitely reunite. I think Crowley recommended this book in the first place because of the hopeful ending. Well, because of these few similar little things. P.s. I don't consider Rory's diary a clue (it's not even a diary , but separate notes . Rather, they are more like Agnes's predictions). But I would also like to see Aziraphale's diary in S3.

When Aziraphale and Crowley talk about their work in Edinburgh, camera shows the stage again. At this time, Hamlet utters lines from the monologue "to be or not to be":

- The pangs of despised love,

and the insolence of office,

and the spurns that we are…

These lines speak of not approved love and oppression by arrogant and unfair bosses. Crowley can be seen emphasizing these words of Hamlet when he convinces Aziraphale safe the agreement.

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")

Dark-n-Stormy

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.)

A note about the code from Crowley's safe.

Crowley dials the numbers on his safe: 31 10 and 66, or maybe 67. I've been thinking for a long time that these numbers mean something, because we can see them well. If you have your own version, please share it with me. My theory is that the last digit is 67 - that is, 1967 - it was this year that Aziraphale brought holy water for Crowley in this thermos, which is now in the safe. Maybe that day was October 31st, or is it just that Crowley loves Halloween?

This theory seems pretty logical, but while I was thinking about it, I went through some funny and slightly crazy versions. Here is one of them: 311067 is a color in hex format. Here it is:

We know that Crowley and Aziraphale's joint miracle was violet. I don't think the authors have complicated the safe code so much, but there is definitely something to think about the meaning of colors in the film - namely red, blue, violet, gold. These colors definitely have a semantic load in the series.

Ohh, these divinely swaying skinny hips! ^ ^

Oh, Aziraphale, your bookshop burned down, I'm so sorry!

Crowley, you'll cry about your car later! Go do what I can do myself, but I want you to do it!
