Right after Aziraphale realises that Bildaddy-Crowley did not kill Job's goats, we have the scene with the children and Crowley sets the house on fire ("I'm a demon, I lied"). We all know he would never kill the kids, so why the charade?

I think he needed to test Aziraphale, to know for certain that the angel sees him for what he is, he needed to know that this tentative connection was real. And Aziraphale immediately proves that he does actually trust him.

The fact that Aziraphale trusts him means he sees the good in him. For a fallen angel who's spent so very long being seen as nothing but evil, just imagine how it must have felt to be truly seen.

Aziraphale hasn't been remotely frightened of Crowley since 2500BC.

Can someone tell me why Bildad the Shuhite's hair grows 6" between scenes.

DO NOT ASK NEIL ABOUT FAN THEORY

Look at his doofy, just brushing the shoulders, fake killing some goats look:

Compared with his long, luscious trailing down the back, on my way to faux murder some children vibe:

Continued under the cut.

Like, I know it's been mentioned before, at length, but what on earth are they wanting to show us with this? Is it meant to show a change in narrator? And if so, who is remembering who?

Aziraphale's appearance doesn't seem to change between any of the minisode scenes, and when we exit the first flashback we are shown Aziraphale in the bookshop. So is Aziraphale remembering Crowley as goofy doofy Bildad with the shorter locks?

The second flashback starts with a slight zoom in on Crowley in the bookshop and we are then greeted with a longer haired Bildad, so does Crowley remember himself differently, maybe in a bit more of a flattering light?

Alternatively, could this be similar to Crowley's changing sideburn lengths throughout season 2? In A Companion to Owls they aren't visible so maybe a longer wig is used to show a similar change? I haven't theorized a lot on what the changes could represent, if anything, but I'd venture to say that longer lengths seem to occur in situations when Crowley is more relaxed, open, or honest. So what is it telling us when his hair lengths are longer? Is it an indicator of vulnerability?

He is lying to Aziraphale about the goats initially when his hair is shorter, and later in Jobs courtyard, his hair is long, and he takes an incredible leap of faith by showing the angel something that could very well bring him harm. Imagine Aziraphale wasn't the angel he thought he was and ratted on Crowley, imagine what hell would do to him. Imagine the vulnerability it took to show Aziraphale who he is. Imagine the fear he had to overcome. The fear of being known.

Or maybe it's just based on the narrator. Or maybe David tripped in the parking lot and the first wig fell off and a truck ran it over and they had to run out and buy another one and it wasn't exactly the same. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Or maybe even a secret 4th thing.

Probably everyone else has already realised this but it just hit me now...

At the end of the Job episode Aziraphale is convinced he's going to hell, and is perfectly ready to go there with Crowley and become a demon. It's something that presumably Crowley is capable of doing (Aziraphale seems very sure and he isn't stupid, so let's assume it is true that Crowley could). So from Crowley's point of view he could have taken Aziraphale to hell then and there, changed who Aziraphale was and had a demonic companion who saw the world in the same way he did. They could have spent an eternity together as demons and Crowley had the opportunity right then to make a reality. But he doesn't. Instead he says "I don't think you'd like it," because he understands who Aziraphale is and knows that if he became a demon he wouldn't be him anymore. Instead he promises to keep Aziraphale's secret and indirectly offers him acceptance - "you're just an angel who goes along with heaven as far as he can," he says and then quietly sits with him, offering him companionship and acceptance without trying to change Aziraphale in anyway. This makes the ending so much more heartbreaking, because when there's an opportunity to take Crowley to heaven Aziraphale siezes it with both hands (from Crowley's point of view at least - I'm not getting into Aziraphale's actual motivations here, only the motivation as Crowley sees it). Aziraphale tries desperately to take Crowley somewhere he doesn't want to go and fundamentally change who he is, in complete contrast to Crowley's actions thousands of years before. I mean, I obviously already knew that this was how Crowley probably interpreted that entire conversation, but it was only when I rewatched the end of the Job episode just now that the difference in how those scenarios play out from Crowley's point of view really hit me.

when you think of it. Bildad the Shuhite's last 24 hours in the minisode not bloody optimal

getting a combat mission to kill everything his buddy Job owns just because She got into some stupid bet

the kids too??? horrid

right in the middle of growing out his hair awkwardly that angle appears. perfect timing to get thwarted. not like that

oh no he's now legit pissed, like it's HIS fault

good (bad) that Bildad has a plan. bad (good) that Aziraphale follows around like a lost sheep, ready to blow his cover anytime. not like that

cue the mortifying ordeal of being known

angel's smugness visible from alpha centauri and he can't even wipe it off with an angry kiss

the kids remain alive but at the cost of annoyance. human twink has the gall to flirt with Aziraphale right in front of his demonic eyes. is nothing sacred anymore

unsolicited temptation backfires badly ( he didn't sign up for food kink development. Regret)

no let me say it again: sexual awakening through ox ribs what even is his life

angel insinuates being the only demon in existence who tries to go his own way seems lonely -> needs to get wasted immediately

literally so hungover the next day he can barely stand and THIS is the moment he witnesses former Mum talking to a human, probably for the first time since Eden. actually stop here, try to step into his shoes and watch the arrow on a scale for secondhand embarrassment doing a full 360°

magical obstetrics time (he still doesn't know where babies come from)

and to top it off: the devastating vision of Aziraphale almost crying

to conclude, pour one out for Bildad the poor bastard deserves it.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but back in Bildaddy times, during the courtyard scene, Crowley turns around when Aziraphale hears the crows bleating and looks at him expectantly. I just realised it's not a "shit you caught me" look. It's a resigned sort of "I can't help needing you to know that I'd never do that" look. It's a "you do actually know me" look. And he hasn't put his glasses back on and he looks so soft and vulnerable 😭

This common element among the four flashbacks in S2 just clicked for me—

Before the Beginning: Aziraphale warns Angel!Crowley in an attempt to prevent him from being punished.

Uz: Aziraphale and Crowley collaborate to save the kids while making it look like Crowley did the Job job as assigned (because if he didn't, he's likely to be punished).

Edinburgh: Crowley is punished by being dragged to hell before Aziraphale's eyes.

1941: Aziraphale uses his sleight-of-hand to save Crowley from being punished.

There’s more to these flashbacks than just this theme. But they all feature Crowley being threatened with punishment or actually punished. Aziraphale worries, helps and protects Crowley when he can.

Just found this from 2019 on this post from @noblogname765 and FUCKING HELL did I miss everyone talking about this?! Did Neil write this tweet and think I should make that happen?! It wasn't even him that wrote the A Companion to Owls, right? WTAF?! If Amazon hadn't shortened the episodes would it have been a literal hour?!

Just added a couple of tags
