Red-blue Reflections.

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.)

It is dangerous to ask such a question to a person (or a snake) who looks at you like That. Crowley looks like he's thinking of swallowing Aziraphale whole. And then drink an extraordinary amount of alcohol.

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)

- 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.

angelic groan of a martyr

- 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."

Have you tried to give him gifts?

"Uh, does saving his human body count as a gift?"

No, it's not

Well, OK, what did you give your angel?

A fly.

Are you fecking kidding me?

Well, I also brushed my teeth.

A fly and a clean mouth? It won't work with mine.

A variant with memory loss?

It's kind of harsh.

Well, you know, everything is a little harsh for you - love spell, binding, molestation. Are you a demon at all?

Yes, I just have my own methods…

Whatever you say. Invite my and Gabri's grandchildren to your ineffable wedding.

"demonic growling"

a funny theory about Leonardo da Vinci paintings

When I was about to publish my theory, I decided to check if there were already similar ones. And I found this post. My respect. He was before mine. Now, with a clear conscience, I will publish my own.

In this painting by Leonardo da Vinci is Saint John the Baptist. He points to the sky. His gesture signifies the coming appearance of Christ. In Leonardo's painting, John has red hair and a tricky face. Crowley also makes a very similar gesture in the scene where he receives the infant Antichrist. this gesture does not correspond to what he is saying. It amuses me to think that this gesture means - yes, the Antichrist appeared today, but another baby also appeared today. I'm talking about the third baby, who was wrapped in a white blanket. Yes, I'm still hoping for a story about the second coming. Crowley must have met Leonardo. To prove this, he has a copy of the Joconda. His painting has an inscription (a whole sentence) and a signature at the bottom.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to make out what is written there. It would be funny if Leonardo painted his Joconda, and then St. John with Crowley. That's why they both have redheads and such sly smiles) And the letter J could mean Joconda or John. Although I prefer my other theory with the letter J.

The theory of the name Anthony J. Crowley

In the theater, Aziraphale silly declares that Crowley is not his friend, he does not even know him. After 15 seconds, Aziraphale is already smiling and staring at Crowley with shining eyes. After that, Crowley says:

"Age does not wither, nor custom stale his infinite variety". You'd think he was saying that about Hamlet. But a few minutes ago Crowley claimed that he did not like this performance and was not surprised, no one came to see it. I'm sure Crowley is saying these words about Aziraphale. Shakespeare used these famous lines in his other work "Antony and Cleopatra".

This is a work about a complex love story, in the twists and turns of political events. This story ended tragically. Antony kills himself with a sword, and Cleopatra kills herself with snake poison. This is just my hipothesis, but in this story there is: a sword, a snake, poison, love, heroes on different sides (strict Rome and sensual Egypt). One more thing:

Antony calls Cleopatra the snake of the Neil). (yes, the words are different in the English version. but in some languages, the name of the river and the name sound and written the same way).

Crowley said he prefers comedies. Maybe he lied, maybe he didn't. Tragedies end in death, comedies end in marriage. I just hope the letter J doesn't mean Juliet - two tragedies in one name is too much!

What happened in the 1920s?

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.

The theory of the Garden.

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.
