Added 2023-09-17 05:38:08 +0000 UTCI know I said I was going to release this tomorrow, but it's ready now so I figured there was no reason to make anyone wait any longer than necessary.
*****
A Few Notes:
- Please no spoilers beyond this episode unless you see that later episodes have already been released. In that case, no spoilers beyond those episodes.
- This reaction is in a watch-along format. This means you'll need your own copy of the episode to watch alongside my reaction. This is in an effort to avoid copyright infringement.
- If you're based in the UK (or using a UK streaming site), here are instructions for how to get your copy to sync with mine.
- The show footage will play for the first 30 seconds with both video and audio. After that, the show footage will be silenced, and the video will be blurred for the remainder of the episode. There is also a count-up timer that begins once the episode has started. These things will hopefully make it easier for you to keep your copy of the episode synced with mine.
- This episode was viewed on Amazon Prime.

2023-09-23 20:11:22 +0000 UTCOn the topic of how the second part came to be, I will copy and paste a direct quote: "There are concerns out there about the fact that, unlike the first season, there is no published source material for the second. But Gaiman, who is staying on as executive producer and co-showrunner, has said the sequel will follow a storyline he and Pratchett dreamed up back in 1989, while they were attending a convention in Seattle and sharing a hotel room in order to save money. It was the middle of the night, recounts Gaiman, and neither of them could sleep. “So we lay in our respective beds and having nothing else to do, we plotted the sequel to Good Omens. It was a good one, too. We fully intended to write it, whenever we next had three or four months free. Only I went to live in America and Terry stayed in the UK, and after Good Omens was published Sandman became SANDMAN and Discworld became DISCWORLD™ and there wasn’t ever a good time,” writes Gaiman on his blog. “But we never forgot it.”" Later on it was decided the second season will be followed by a third season that is coming. The second season is an introduction of sorts to the main events that were thought up in 1989, which will be covered in the third season. I believe as Pratchett's Alzheimer's disease started to take hold, he wrote a lot of ideas down before he lost his ability to write completely, which Gaiman folded into what was to come.
