The Middle Distance

This has the flavor of a joke, but it's all over Twitter and Tumblr now that Mark Sheppard says Gaimain asked him to play Crowley in GO, supposedly over breakfast.

Of course some fangirls are going insane with desire for this. More than one person believes the casting is now set in stone for Aziraphale and Crowley (of course when the squees include the name "Zira" I tune out quickly). I am so very, very eager for these speculations to be dashed and someone truly appropriate to actually be announced. And for people to STOP mentioning either author as being the ones to do the casting, since they PROMISED they wouldn't.

Getting tired of the Supernatural crossover squee, and I despair of those who would never have found the book BUT through the show. *siiiiigh* It doesn't fit in EVERY SINGLE ASPECT, you guys.



(Though I stringently avoid fandomsecrets, I checked your link this time and was pleasantly surprised at the overall distaste for such casting. One person suggested Eric Idle as Aziraphale, and my god, right now I could actually see that working.)
