Awhile Back, I Was Doing Some Research That Led Me To Neil Gaiman's Online Journal. But As I Was Looking

Awhile back, I was doing some research that led me to Neil Gaiman's online journal. But as I was looking through old posts for it, I got very distracted by an entry from 2008.

I’m going to need you all to scroll down to the bottom of that entry. Please.

Last time they had begun filming by around October 2021 (source) and the season was released 21 months later on July 28 2023. So by this timeline season 3 would be out in October 2026. Account for the fact that season 2 filming may have started earlier than Oct 2021, account for general variability, and we get late 2026/early 2027.

So that's something to look forward to for a while. And in the meantime, there is fanfic :)

GO S3 starts shooting in January 2025!!!

oh my god libraries are amazing i love libraries

so a few months ago I went to the WGF library in Los Angeles and read all the scripts for ofmd s1, some of them were later drafts and some were earlier, idk how early but a lot changed. they were good scripts but the final product is MUCH much better, the actors really brought the characters to life and I suspect there was even more improv than we thought there was. anyway I wrote down some of the stuff that I thought was kinda fun or interesting:

-Izzy/Fang/Ivan helped get Stede's ship unstuck in episode 2, their dynamic was less antagonistic and more kinda silly

-Blackbeard was described as having David Lee Roth vibes

-lots more of Pete's Blackbeard stories

-Buttons started the trend of pirates having birds on their shoulders by bringing Karl to the Republic of Pirates

-the crew had a Ye Olde Chore Wheel for the ship

-Jim inspired Ivan to explore his gender identity

-Roach was part of Lucius' little polycule

-there was a cute line where Stede was talking to his daughter and said "your Uncle Edward would love you"

-Alma had slightly more screentime in general, they were playing up her being a tomboy, wearing pants, and working in a stable iirc

-Stede was even more incredibly chill about Doug replacing him lmao he referred to Doug as "your father" when talking to Louis

-the Ed/Stede kiss was NOT in the draft I read!! it was still romantic but they just like bumped shoulders or something

-Stede picked up a waterlogged Lucius before he made it to the desert island to save the rest of the crew

-Izzy was revealed to be one of the Siete Gallos at the very end

Good Omens-coded

@thestrangestperson where did they film Hogback Wood?

Ask me anything about Good Omens (the production of/lore of/theories of/etc), and I will give you a very real and normal answer, that I did not pull out of a tiny top hat that some may call my imagination
