19 & Why It Could Mean More Than You Think

The verses leading up to Job 41:19 are hard to ignore because it sounds as if they're describing the romance between Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant). Job 41:16 – 18 reads, "One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, [and] they cannot be sundered. By his [sneezing] a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning." In the larger context of Job, these verses are part of a prolonged speech delivered to Job by God, in which the latter is admonishing the former for being upset by the latter allowing the former's life to be destroyed by Satan as part of some deific wager between Heaven and Hell. No, seriously.

But in the context of "Good Omens," these verses kind of sound like they're about the passionate, if not well-expressed, love between Crowley and Aziraphale. What's more, Season 2 depicts the pair as being deeply involved in the tragic tale of Job (Peter Davison). The pair undermine their respective leadership's will by saving the lives of Job's children and no small number of his goats. In "Good Omens," it's unclear how much attention God (Frances McDormand) pays to the goings-on of her creation. She seems rather detached from it all but there's a certain Neil Gaiman-esque joy about the possibility of her gushing over an angel and a demon's love story to Job, who would have no idea what she was talking about.
