== The 4-part TV adaptation of ''[[Good Omens (Literature)|Good Omens]]'' will have a soundtrack consisting entirely of music from [[Queen]]. ==

== Hastur bought [[HPH.P. Lovecraft]]'s soul. ==

** Mark Sheppard is Crowley. (He's already played a [[Supernatural (TV series)|demon named Crowley]]...)

Eve got the flaming sword; This is Red's ''sword'' sword. As far as I can recall, it's never said that Aziraphale tracked down his original sword, and he could have been given a replacement after going through [[Fate Worse Than Death|the proper bureaucratic channels]]. If it ''does'' say that that's the sword he gave away, then Red's sword is just a different, less [[Feed It Withwith Fire|warm]] sword that exemplifies her personification. Cain got [[Kicked Upstairs]] into the role of Famine, as part of his [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|eternal]], [[Immortality Hurts|highly unpleasant]] punishment for killing Abel. Abel, the first human to die, provides a filter through which Azrael can communicate with living humans and the world of the living without them dying (prescriptively ''or'' proscriptively). Adam was Conquest, who followed his wife; everntually, in his role as both the first [[Zerg Rush|hu]][[Humanity Is Infectious|man]] and what follows in the wake of War, he became Pestilence. I'm not sure who Pollution is; He may be practically anyone, depending on when Pollution stepped into the job and how long someone can be around ([[Unfazed Everyman|in]] [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence|whatever]] [[The Undead|form]]) before taking on the mantle.

This is not ''quite'' incompatible with the highly significant plot point that eating the fruit of The Tree of Knowledge (of Good and Evil) gave humans mortality. Humans have been shown in [[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]] to be able to attain immortality (through divine intervention, or after death, but still). If having eaten of the fruit personally made Adam, Eve, and their unborn child/children exceptionally human, they could easily have become some of the [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Anthropomorphic Personifications]] of ''humanity'', and the ones who happened to be tasked to ride out (by God or [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy|fate]] or [[Unstoppable Mailman|a poorly addressed package]]) in the event of an [[Apocalypse How|apocalypse]].
