Good Omens 1x2 Reaction - Early Access!

I know Michael McKean's been in a lot of stuff, but for some reason whenever I see him the first thing I think about is that X-Files episode where he and Mulder switch bodies.

Lee

I binge watched the whole season since you guys started a reaction and honestly I'm so excited for your reactions

You guys have definitely seen Michael Sheen in things but are not realizing it lol. He has been a hugely busy actor in all mediums from stage to the big screen. He was in the Underworld movies, The Twilight movies, Blood diamond, Kingdom of heaven, Unthinkable w Samuel L Jackson, slaughterhouse Rulez, the Passengers, and several other movies, then of course a ton of TV including Dr Who, the Simpsons, 30 Rock, etc. Now when you watch something you will be like...oh that’s that guy lol

Kristy

Its terrible haha. I usually have to keep it on the lowest quality for it to load without buffering. Too shit a quality to see their reactions tho

As someone who is descended from a long line of hardcore Calvinists who almost was given the name of Faith Hope Love, I am so glad you put this comment in! (On the plus side, no girl in my family has changed her last name in over 100 years, so Love is the only part of that I ended up with)

Bekah

Eric, on the first episode you said you had looked up parts that Michael Sheen has played. I'm surprised you didn't mention him playing 'House' in the Dr who episode The Doctors' wife. He has the first part of that awesome chat with the Doctor ... 'Fear me Doctor, i've killed hundreds of Time lords'....

The name "Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulcifer" isn't actually just some random goofy joke, like you might think. Around this time in England the Puritans, who were VERY religious and conservative Protestants, actually genuinely went around giving their children names like that. One example would be the famous economist Nicholas Barebone, whose birth name was actually If-Jesus-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst-been-damned Barebone

All this discussion about the true nature of Crowley and Aziraphale makes me REALLY wish you guys hadn't talked over the part where he said "I didn't mean to fall, I just... hung out with the wrong crowd"

I'm so happy you guys are reacting to this show! It is so much fun. Neil Gaiman created a really faithful adaptation, which sometime works when you're adapting from a book and sometimes doesn't - I think it worked with this show.

Aquitaine

Well if you like the interactions between Crowley and Aziraphale, you'll really love next episode. I'm interested to see if you guys can pick up on the love story there, as Neil has said there is. Also, with the plants, there is a popular theory that he does in fact take them out and plant them outside, because in the books he leaves for hours and then comes back with the empty pot. It represents his fall, as he sees himself as not good enough, and role plays it with his plants. Once the plants "rebel", he takes them out of there and they are "The fallen".

Man they really should watch Better Call Saul now and see how good Michael McKean is as Chuck

João Pedro Dâmaso

Eric, read the discworld novels. You would most likely really enjoy them. And react to the documentary about him back in black.

Herberderber

Vimeo is the absolute worst. It barely functions. I guess you guys have to use it sometimes for whatever reason but god. Such an annoying platform.

TP is my favourite author :D Hope Shane watches this at some point in his own time. It would be good to hear the religious perspective on it.

Herberderber

They need to release the clue for it first, so I don't think the first reaction will be up this coming Monday. But who knows.

TbcAlex

Yeah it is!

CrossZ

never heard of this show but as im reading the descritption im thinking "wait a minute.. that sounds like a book i read" so my question is is this show based on terry pratchet book good omens? btw i read the book in my native language so the title wasnt good omens

Pucki

No. Rick will put out a riddle for the new poll show and i think they are waiting a bit longer to see if they will be able to do it at the studio. I'm sure if it gets to be a really long time they'll just record that at home too tho. Maybe not im just assuming

MOB12

Did this win the poll? I can't remember what was on the poll besides what I voted for so I don't know if this is something extra or if this is the poll winner

Since you guys are starting new shows, can we expect to see the new poll show soon?
