As if that's a bad thing? As if that hasn't been the very point of these characters since they were first introduced? As far back as the book, we've always had other characters commenting on the degree to which Aziraphale and Crowley have "gone native" on Earth. Angels aren't supposed to eat sushi, drink wine, or dance the Gavotte, but Aziraphale does all of these with gusto even as his own celestial colleagues mock him for it. Demons aren't supposed to care about fashionable apartments and cars, or have any interest in preventing the apocalypse, let alone go around showing kindness to others or having a soft spot for anything ("not the kids, you can't kill kids...")

So you can be pretty sure that it was not in any of Heaven or Hell's employee conduct manuals for these two to form any kinds of earthly attachments, but the beauty of them has always been that they've embraced their connection to Earth and humanity by doing exactly that. They go against the grain by [i]not[/i] distancing themselves from earthly life, by deigning to love and care about things in a very human way, and that includes falling in love. That's one of the most human things that they could do, and their inevitable reunion will cement their allegiance to this planet as their true home, which I can all but guarantee is how the third and final season will conclude (or the novel that Gaiman has promised to write if things with Amazon don't work out - either way the story [i]is[/i] getting finished).

I'm not sure what the rest of you have been watching, but to me this was always the natural trajectory of the characters. [/quote]
