Good Omens : meh, I might as well. #CoSoTV #mondegreenstv
Opening voiceover. Someone's read Adams.
Why the fuck is there a lion in the desert? I can suspend a lot of disbelief but this is a step too far.
Flash? The way he looks he'll qualify for next year's old-age pension.
Okay, this show walked so Sandman can run.
Sorry not sorry.
Nuns are untrustworthy midwives.
Nuns of Satan doubly so.
And may the first child be a masculine American child.
I would like to get drunk in an old bookstore before falling asleep on the sofa with a cat.
I have very specific needs.
If I ever see a sign or a warning label that says I should not lick : I really want to do the opposite. Forbidden doughnut.
Nothing sweeter than a boy (the antichrist) and his Dog (literal actual hellhound).
If you never watched Mad Men, does Hamm seem convincing in comedy roles?
Because to me he acts like a bunch of bees trapped inside a human suit.
Lot of burned-at-the-stake scenes lately.
Packet is a better, precise term for a container of crisps.
Did not expect that jab about the salem witch trials.
I don't know why they didn't think to check birth records once they realized Warlock was the wrong bairn. Angels, both fallen and non, are not good at this.
Fast callback on that moral argument bit. Too fast?
Witch or no : do not get into a stranger's vehicle.
Saying "Oh shit mom, I'll call you back later" in a panicked voice absolutely won't throw her into a tizzy. Good choice, Anathema.
That is not how you get viewers playing the next episode.
These two? Men of good fortune.
Battle scenes on streaming shows can have extras, costumes, or backgrounds -- pick two.
You'd think and angel and a demon could afford better seats at the Globe. You'd think they're above groundling, but you'd think wrong.
100 years, then?
Is Good Omens just a bunch of Gaiman's prior research smooshed up into one book?
My grandmother had that same thermos she'd fill with black coffee before leaving the house for her factory job. The nostalgia button just got booped hard.
Admire the restraint of not making a witchfinder army spinoff.
Adam, here's my back issues of Crackpots Illustrated if you're interested in some more conspiracy theories!
Is it the dead eyes that make Hamm awkward at comedy?
@mondegreens I'm loving this play by play. Listening to someone else explain this story is funny AF.
@MtnHooligan I've read the book but I'm watching this for the first time. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
@mondegreens like most stories it's not as good as the book. But they do it justice. It takes a bit to pick up. I might be overly partial to David Tennant though.
@MtnHooligan Fair! The first episode was slow, but I also know just how much PLOT and SETUP the whole thing requires.
@mondegreens That's an interesting question. I've watched Mad Men and love him in it, but I have a tough time with Hamm in comedy. Comedy is much more difficult, and I'm not sure he's good at it.
But prove me wrong.
@Shesamodiste He seems uncomfortable in comedy roles, but keeps getting them. Can't quite understand why.
Episode 2: More Stuff Happens. Where's Agnes Nutter when you need her?
