Thank you so much for your work! You and everyone from the team made a wonderful (albeit heartbreaking) season 2!
I have some questions that I've been wondering about since my first watch-through:
Hell has appointed Shax as a replacement for Crowley - did Heaven deem it unnecessary to send a replacement for Aziraphale? Or does he just not know about that?
And what is the reason Aziraphale got to keep his bookshop? Considering Hell took Crowleys flat away and gave it to Shax, it surprised me that Heaven just lets Aziraphale stay there.
Once again thank you and good luck with the strikes!
(PS: I've started reading "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" recently and I absolutely love it, I hope I can still catch the theater production this year!)
Aziraphale owns his bookshop (and some of the land around it). He bought the land in the 1630s, built the bookshop in the 1790s. He always made sure that everything was paid for and only did miracles to obtain things in the most dire circumstances.
Crowley couldn't be bothered with buying things. He bought the Bentley (and, in the 1960s, a full tank of Petrol for the Bentley), but normally in Crowley's world paying for things is something other people do, and it's a minor enough and consistent enough miracle that it's just become a way of life. His flat was paid for by Hell's finance department and as far as Hell is concerned it belongs to them.
In the GO book, who wrote the haiku that the new Dick Turpin recites? I couldn鈥檛 stop laughing when I read that bit and have grown curious. Have a good day!
I wrote one of the Haikus, Terry wrote the other. Who wrote which I will leave for people to work out.
