Oh, and...

I've been thinking that if I could ask Gneil and/or PTerry one Good Omens-related question, it would actually have nothing to do with the theology of the changed world or a second apocalypse or the mysteries of the Horsepersons or anything related to whether or not Aziraphale and Crowley are So Doing It (tm). Those are all things for fandom to play with, which it does quite nicely.

It would be a fairly straightforward question.

Who was Adam's mother?



If there's any fic or meta on this subject anywhere, please point me!

Interesting question, I've wondered about this myself a few times and would probably go with human woman willing to be impregnated in exchange for wealth, power...etc. This seems to be a common theme in many of the seventies horror flicks I've seen (though I recall that in one of the Warlock movies the fully grown antichrist bursts out of some poor unsuspecting womans abdomen Alien style). Though I do like murasaki99's idea.

Well, they're just about to release a remake of the The Omen - wonder if they kept that jackal bit in (see above).

AWESOME! I mean, ew.

I could buy this, definitely. I could also buy that she might be a starry-eyed innocent doing it for love. A fangirl, in a way.

I do hope that the remake of The Omen isn't going to diverge from the original too much; I'll always remember it fondly as one of the few horror films that has actually scared me (though of course since reading GO I'm completely unable to read/watch anything with antichrists in it without feeling the urge to grin and make comparisons to Adam)

Hehe, a satanic fangirl; if that's the case then it's a good job that Crowley didn't have to deal with the maternal side of things, as he would have probably discorporated himself due to gratuitous eye rolling and embarrassment on said satanic fangirls behalf.
