You're the first reactor I've seen pick up on the "bullet holes". In the book the only time that Crowley has ever brought petrol is "once in the 1970s to get the James Bond bullet in the windshield decals he somewhat fancied at the time."
The bullet holes aren't real. Here's a quote from the book: "The only time Crowley had bought petrol was once in 1967, to get the free James Bond bullet-hole-in-the-windscreen transfers, which he rather fancied at the time." So I assume this is the show's interpretation of that :)
IIRC, the scene with Crowley in the church was pretty much why Tennant was asked to play him in the first place. Gaiman said as he was writing the scene, that was who he pictured for doing the physical comedy of walking on the consecrated ground. ❤
Re the pronunciation thing, Crowley (crow-lee) is the British pronunciation. His name before wasn't Crowley (craw-lee) but Crawly. Same goes for Constantine for example (the US version rhymes with teen, the British version rhymes with wine).
Adam is coming into his powers and after his talking to Anathema and reading the magazines she gave him his sub-conscious is making things happen in his sleep. In this instance he has replaced the nuclear reactor with a sherbet lemon sweet/candy (though the nuclear power station somehow still puts out power despite that change). There are some sherbet lemon sweets on his bed so presumably he was eating them before going to sleep which is why his subconscious picked the sweet as a substitute for the nuclear reactor.
Crowley getting Aziraphale to kill Adam isn't really morally better than Crowley killing Adam himself (if he were really bad, he could probably get some points for tempting an angel -- except Hell doesn't want the antichrist killed either), and Aziraphale getting Crowley to kill Adam isn't morally better than killing him himself. They are both a bit squeamish, I think, about killing a kid (or probably anything). Not exactly the right word, but close enough.
We have these two who want Adam eliminated, but haven’t got the stomach for that sort of thing. Then we have all the others who probably would do it, if they weren’t so pro-Armageddon. Go figure. 😄
@@zvimur *I am not,* although I do think the visual pun doesn't mean that Crowley is not referring to children who will be drowned at that point in the narrative.
It's not "anal leakage." It's "annual leakage." As in, the years of your life will leak away from you. It's a pretty clever play on "anal leakage," and it makes me a little sad that more people don't get the joke because it goes by so fast.

Knew I had the quote slightly wrong in my comment on the subject. Didn't have the book to hand.
Ah yes, the half hour cold open/ the 6000 years of pining! 😂

The guy talking about fatty spliffers, was professor Bracewell, in episode 5x3 of Dr Who. He "invented" the Daleks
I personally don't think he was talking about Crowley's driving.
Also, there's bonus Mark Gatiss and Steve Pemberton as the Nazis, who amongst other things are Doctor Who alum.

I love Terry Pratchett
28:48 I guess you could say they're a team. A group. Group of the two of them.
And yet, they spent their existence pretending they weren't

Also people used to say that you got energy from eating sugar. Adam's subconscious made sugar candy a powerful energy source.
Crowley likes to watch Aziraphale eat....
There's a song about the unicorns not making it onto the ark.

If you're referring to 2:51, I think Crowley means.... baby goats.

Nouvelle Cuisine was a fad. It was all about extremely tiny portions arranged on the plate like fine art, with almost no food value.
