And I'm now thinking maybe whether we need to see the Fall or night might depend a great deal on exactly what S3 does and how it's doing it. I've been thinking that it's not something we've needed to see so far -- knowing that it happened has felt like enough for me, anyway -- but it may well be that it's something we need to see for S3 to work. I'll be very, very interested to see how that goes.
Likewise!
*cheerfully breaks into a chorus of "Imagine"*
Of course...a universe ruled by the laws of physics doesn't seem conducive to all the people living life in peace, either...
I'm now re-thinking the idea that Crowley's fall might mirror Aziraphale's "ascent"...I came across a post I wrote a few years back:
Crowley experiences God as a terrifying absence; he’s afraid of being abandoned and ignored by God: “There aren’t any right people. There’s just God, moving in mysterious ways and not talking to any of us.”
Aziraphale experiences God as a terrifying presence; he’s afraid of being scrutinized and judged by God (flaming sword).
Of course, Crowley’s fear of abandonment and Aziraphale’s fear of scrutiny have a tremendous impact on their relationship; we all project our experiences with our parents onto each other. Crowley is afraid that Aziraphale will abandon him as he feels abandoned by God; Aziraphale is afraid that Crowley will scrutinize him as he feels scrutinized by God.
That's overly simplistic, of course, but...well, I'm not sure what I'm saying, exactly, just pondering.
