Good Omens S3
12 May 2026 06:53 pmSo, tomorrow is Good Omens Day. I don't know how to feel. To be honest, I kept forgetting it was happening.
I'm sad that this lovely show now has such a dark shadow cast over it. I'm sad that we only get 90 minutes instead of 6 episodes, all thanks to NG being a monster. I hope that the victims somehow manage to get closure and some kind of recompense. And it feels ridiculous to care about a TV show in the light of what he did.
So I debated a lot over whether to watch.
In the end, I think what swayed me was the fact that it was Terry Pratchett's family who intervened and managed to salvage a 90 minute special out of the axed 6 episode season. And - like with Buffy (or any of Joss' shows) - the people involved (actors, director, crew etc) were not responsible for the actions of the creator.
But, it's a difficult calculation, and I understand anyone who has added it all up and come to a different decision. I don't know if I will write about it, guess it depends what the story does.
My hope is that it manages to do what Serenity did for Firefly - tell a complete story and wrap everything up, rather than be something clearly cut down and rushed. (I loved S2 of OFMD, but you could tell how they were speed-running certain parts.)
Honestly, all I want is a happy ending. That's it. 🏡 For everything else, there is fic.
