List of 10 Best Easter Eggs in Good Omens Season 2 You Missed
There's even a nod to Supernatural.
It would be hard to find a show as full of Easter eggs as Good Omens Season 2, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 28. There are over 200 allusions to the first season's characters, the original source material, its creators, David Tennant's most famous role, and more.
Here are ten of the best Good Omens Easter eggs you may have overlooked.
Agnes Nutter
Remember Agnes Nutter, the witch with vague but accurate prophecies? Though she doesn't appear in person in Season 2, the image of her being burned at the stake can be seen in one of the canvases in The Dirty Donkey.
Terry Pratchett's Portrait
Another painting on the walls of The Dirty Donkey is none other than the co-author of the original Good Omens novel, Terry Pratchett, dressed as a witch hunter.
Terry Pratchett's Hat
Who can imagine Pratchett without his famous hat and scarf, which he wore so often in public?
Of course, the hat and scarf seen in Aziraphale's bookshop is a reference to this signature look.
Terry and Neil
Nina's coffee shop also has a few Easter eggs hidden inside. For example, there is art on the wall depicting a snake with the names Terry and Neil inscribed on it.
Suzy Eddie Izzard
Incidentally, the name of Nina's coffee shop, Give Me Coffee Or Give Me Death, is a reference to Suzy Eddie Izzard's stand-up show where she jokes about the Inquisition failing if it were organized by the Church of England because they would be polite enough to offer their victims a choice between 'tea and cake or death.'
The Jukebox
Another pub and another reference — now to Good Omens, the novel. The jukebox, which stubbornly plays Buddy Holly's 'Everyday' no matter what people choose, is a nod to the little book's story of a car record player that eventually turns every tape left in it into Best of Queen.
The TARDIS
Good Omens Season 2 contains quite a few references to Doctor Who.
For example, every Whovian couldn't help but notice the words 'bigger on the inside' referring to the container fly in the sixth episode, which is of course a shout-out to the TARDIS.
The Fez
Another hilarious Doctor Who nod is Tennant's Crowley fooling around with a fez in the magic shop. Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor would definitely approve of this choice of clothing.
The Fifth Doctor
Besides Matt Smith, Good Omens features another Doctor Who. Tennant's father-in-law Peter Davison, who portrayed the Fifth Doctor, appears in Season 2 Episode 2 as Job.
Supernatural's Castiel
Aziraphale's boss, Gabriel, goes by Jim, and that's a nod to Supernatural's Castiel, whose human host had the same name. The long-running WB show is said to be largely inspired by Neil Gaiman's books.
