The Thing That Is So Exciting About The Thirteenth Doctor Is The Fact That She’s Starting Off With

My two favorite words of the English language: flabbergasted, and gobsmacked.

I’m not trying to win. I’m not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It’s not because it’s fun. God knows it’s not because it’s easy. It’s not even because it works because it hardly ever does!

Got a question for all you Trekkies out there. A very important question. Maybe the most important question of all.

Who was your favorite Khan?

(I really respect Benedict as an actor, but I grew up with Richardo, so you already know who I prefer...)

ok but the team of scientists making Carlos their adoptive dad and going to him when they get hurt or are arguing or when they get really excited and want to show him some new discovery like a kid showing their parent their artwork

What’s the best time of day to write?

I’m a night-writer myself. What about you?

Jack: my name is Captain Jack Harkness, but you can call me...

Jack: *agressively takes off sunglasses*

Jack: ... anytime.

This is my Saturday night. How's yours?

Aziraphale’s and Crowley’s discussions are interesting in Good Omens simply because their such utterly different approaches to them. Now I really enjoy Crowley’s points but right now I’m focusing on Aziraphale’s side because despite the several years he’s lived on Earth and the books upon books he’s read he falls back on one simple reason for everything that happens.

Ineffability,

And maybe that reason works sometimes. And it certainly does; it leaves just enough wriggle room, just enough doubt, that his opponent can’t definitely say that he’s wrong. After all, in Good Omens God is real even if He hasn’t been seen or heard from in a few millennia. Crowley can’t say that there isn’t a Higher Plan.

But what he does do is learn how to counter-argue the Ineffability reason.

It seems to me that at this point Aziraphale is using the Ineffable Plan as an excuse. It’s like hearing all the churchgoers out there when questioned about God’s existence or why bad things happen to good people they simply reply, ‘You have to take it by faith, that’s all.’ Take it be faith, take it for Ineffability.

Which of course leads to Crowley’s logical rebuttals. That’s the key difference, I think, when looking at their conversations. Aziraphale relies on the possibility of the Ineffable Plan, while Crowley has taken the time to learn how to perceive an argument on all sides and come up with a counter argument for everything the angel says. His reasons make sense, which only highlights how desperate Aziraphale’s Ineffable argument sounds sometimes.

Which just makes it all the more brilliant when he uses the Ineffable argument to run circles around Metatron and Beelzabub later on in the story.

Wriggle room always wins an argument. He must have learned it from Crowley.
