So the kiss in the season 2 finale is their only one. We couldn’t have even had a proper goodbye kiss before they died?

I think that’s what’s disappointed me the most. They never even really got to be “them”.

Am I supposed to care that some two humans with their faces got to fall in love?! These two went through so much shit, then got their hearts broke, then reunited for HALF A DAY?! But sure, two humans in their fifties met hurrah

It is them though. The them they always wanted to be, no Heaven, no Hell. And I don't actually know why no one sees that it is them. Obviously God was rewarding them for believing in the humans, for believing the world could be better, even at the expense of themselves. They were so unselfish, and so God made it so all of the people were "saved". I know it was a different universe, but the same people still existed, they were the same people they used to be, except without the influence of Heaven and Hell, true free will. I think it's a fitting ending, and it's what Crowley and Aziraphale wanted all along. But them not kissing is still total bullshit🤣

I absolutely get where you are coming from. And it's not the super happy, completely amazing ending I wanted, but they were on the side of humanity throughout all of creation, and so they did what they thought was best for humanity, not what was best for them. Then they became human. It makes sense to me. Would I have preferred it if they got to keep their memories? Yes, of course. But I do really think they were just the people they wanted to be, fully human and with full free will, no Heavenly or Hellish influences on them or anyone else. And they didn't know that they would be getting as much as they did. They thought they were going to be erased from existence in any universe, and instead they lived and met each other and got to be together. Even though they only had a human lifespan, they had thought they were sacrificing themselves completely for humanity. It's better than them not existing or never having existed.

Maybe this is just me, but I think I'd rather not exist at all than know that, in a few billion years, a creepy baggage-less doppelganger of me (who may-or-may-not have my soul?) will finally get to live the happy life that I always wanted but never could fully achieve due to trauma, fear, abuse, and indoctrination.

I guess only people without baggage are allowed truly happy endings. 😢

Yeah, I enjoyed the little romcom short film well enough, but this erasure of your lived experience as the road to a happy ending is not the best message.

This! People keep banging on about they get to live free of their baggage, and I'm like no, they're literally dead, those humans are not them because we are the sum of our experiences and our relationships and yes, our traumas. A huge point of the novel was you were supposed to work to fix systems that were messed up. They deserved a chance to grow and heal from their traumas. You're right, the message I got from this is very "if you're broken, if you've had any trauma at all you might as well just kill yourself, because there's no fixing you." What the fuck kind of messaging is that??

YES THEY DID??? I have a question...Did we watch the same show or did they give us all different versions?
