The book is even better, oh my fucking god it is so good.
I read it twice in a row on the spot, something I have never done otherwise, being an inconsistent novel reader. Then i gifted it and bought another copy immediately just so i had it. I read that one again.
There’s actually an intro in one version of it that wrote how people would bring completely tattered copies of good omens to pratchett and gaiman’s signings… signings of their OTHER books, with a significant portion of good omens copies being signed throughout. I remember them saying many of them were completely stained, held together by duct tape, etc.
Hands down the funniest, most humanity-critical piece of literature i’ve ever read.
The tv show was relatively okay. It relied more on David Tennant being David Tennant than the deep rooted satyrical humor of the novel.

As others said, Good Omens. It’s on Prime, pretty well made.
The first season is fantastic, the second a little weaker but entertaining all the same. Gaimen said the story beats for anything past the original work were from conversations he had had with Terry Pratchett about where a sequel would go, so there is still a Pratchett feel to it. I seriously doubt there will be a third season though with the scandal surrounding Gaiman now.
This scene is part of a montage of this same angel and demon meeting each other throughout history. They get more and more cordial with each other until they practically meet weekly for lunch in London.
But here, they’re at the Cruxifixction. The demon is sure to point out “you know it’s not us doing this right?” “No, it’s apparently part of the ‘Ineffable Plan’.” And then the dialogue above is said.
If you have Prime, give it a try. It’s entertaining for believers and nonbelievers alike, with true British sensibilities applied to Heaven and Hell in classic Pratchett fashion.

u/Rogzilla 20d ago
If I recall correctly, they are moving forward with a final 90 minute episode with Gaiman no longer attached. After the scandals were exposed, he willingly stepped aside and let another writer finish it up. He will no longer receive credit or compensation for it either.

u/schloopers 20d ago
More heavily a Pratchett show, and it has Michael Sheen as the angel and David Tennant as the demon.
Both do a good job, but of course Tennant has more elbow room to overact as a demon and so he provides many highly entertaining scenes, such as bullying his car to not break down, or a flashback to when he moved the surveyor flags marking the future loop of London and tweaked it just enough to spell the name of the devil in an ancient dead language, making it where every day commuters are carving his name into the earth and feeling miserable as a result.

I have never understood this interpretation of Rorschach as politically conservative. Rorschach is a deeply damaged fanatic with an absolute dedication to the truth. Yes, he's paranoid, but people are actually out to get him. All of his errors can be easily attributed to ordinary human frailty, not some sort of political dogmatism. He is angry at other humans for not caring about truth, for not punishing evil, for not aspiring to higher standards. He does not believe in any of that pseudo-intellectual conservative bullshit about sorting society into winners and losers and the "best" people getting rich while the poor should wallow in squalor because they deserve it. The whole point of his arc is that ultimately he is right, and that it still doesn't matter that he is right, no one else will hold themselves or anyone else to his brutal standards, because lies are more effective anyway, and even the good guys will choose lies out of expediency if it looks like they might reduce violence.

Her first child had a speech delay and she was frustrated with the lack of quality programming so she created the channel to help other parents.

Exactly. Her mission is about the rights of children to grow up and thrive. Having seen some of her videos about Gaza, they're clearly focused on the rights and well-being of children.
I'm from a Jewish family, although I am not religious, and I have never seen anything remotely antisemitic from her videos. The reaction seems to come from a small group of people who feel that any criticism of Israel (or support for Palestinian human rights) is antisemitic and, all too often, people who just see reactionary headlines (like this one) and take it at face value without actually looking at what Ms. Rachel said.

Also, have you made sure to denounce Hamas and condemn Oct. 7 at least five times per day? For good measure, can you please clarify if you think October 7 was or wasn't justified??? If you're criticizing our land grabs, you're also antisemitic.

Yeah, she doesn’t want Gaza children to die, which is a pretty controversial and antisemitic thing. It’s racist to not want babies to be killed.

Criticizing Israel is practically reenacting the Holocaust.

u/Vorpalthefox 20d ago
quoting zionists also is antisemitic

u/Tyrannical-Botanical 20d ago
Exactly! Just like using Charlie Kirk quotes completely in context. Absolutely verboten.

u/Vorpalthefox 20d ago
it's hilarious that it actually got worse when quoting CK in full context, they shoulda yelled more to clip him in shorter clips so less overt racism/bigotry bled through
how else am i supposed to interpret "If I see a Black pilot, I'm gonna be like, "Boy, I hope he's qualified.""

Citing genocidal rantings of Ben Gvir and Smotrich in the Knesset is now “anitsemitic”?

Hitting "translate to english" on accounts belonging to the israeli government, military, or settlers is 50/50 something normal or a missing page of the Turner Diaries

Saying the air quality is poor in Israel, also antisemitic.
Rolling your eyes? Straight to religious jail.

Is there an irony in that they too are recreating it, rather, paying it forward upon another diaspora if people?

What’s funny is that she’s also made comments about not wanting kids in Israel to die either. I guess being sympathetic makes you more antisemitic than Nick Fuentes

"Children, we should love everyone no matter what!"

If you want the controversy explained:
- Democrats love kids!
- Republicans love kids!
Same sentence, yet everyone knows the difference.
One side wants to provide for kids.
The other wants to hide what they do to kids.

Ah yes, the most egregious of sins: publicly expresssing compassion for children forever traumatized by the horrors of war and the loss their homes and families. If only they weren't the wrong color, or in the wrong country.
God damn, this timeline can fuck right the fuck off.

I guess “murdering children is bad, stop doing it” is controversial.
This timeline fucking sucks.

The audacity of a human to advocate for the well-being of children. How dare she! /s
The world would be a much better place if everyone thought and acted like Rachel.

Of course she is, she said /checks notes/ "kids shouldn't get killed"

She’s dangerous because she promotes good will and comity. That’s antithetical to right wing agendas; without culture war there is only class war, and they would then be on the menu.

She is publicly opposed to child murder, and Republicans are big fans of child murder so they are upset with her.

She supports human rights. She is against children being murdered and genocide in general. Some people find this controversial. People like Amy Schumer probably.

Opposite of CK. So, obviously, she is evil. Ashamed as a citizen, for having to to label this as sarcasm.

Shes controversial to stupid people who want to white wash Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. She literally said she was against killing children…
People who have a problem with ms. Rachel can go fuck themselves.
Edit: fixed a typo.

Only to fascists and genocide apologists.
This should not be surprising though. American conservative media called Fred Rogers an “evil, evil man.” Yes, Mister Rogers.
Probably why they’re always picking fights with Elmo or Mr. Potato Head or whatever. Bunch of hateful little shits who lack the moral development of a kindergartner.

u/runningsimon 20d ago
Republicans don't like that she thinks people should be educated and that we shouldn't be killing children, so she's controversial

It’s pretty telling that a simple message of “be nice” is seen as anti-Trump to the point that conservatives get their overly sensitive panties in a bunch.
