I think I see Crowley not as morally superior to Aziraphale, but as someone who was forced, a very long time ago, to learn a lesson that Aziraphale is still struggling with.
Oh, I completely agree!
That's why I find the idea that Crowley's fall might mirror Aziraphale's, um - "ascent"? - or whatever you call stepping into that elevator with the Metatron - to be interesting: Crowley learned then what Aziraphale - we hope - will learn in S3. (I'm not married to the idea! I just find it intriguing.)
But the more I think about it: I'm not sure it's Crowley's fall that I think we need to see so much as THE fall - or rather, what led up to it - how 10 millions angels became demons. (10 million angels, 10 million demons, equal numbers on both sides...why?) So much turns on it. We need to see it.
(I do like the idea that the end of S3 might be the transformation of the Good Omens universe into our universe: a universe with no Heaven, no Hell, and no Plan...a universe ruled by the laws of physics, not the laws of God.)
