About the point of gravity!
One of the first things we see when Gabriel arrives on earth, is tomatoes, falling. He sees it, and he steps over it. I adore this detail because:
There’s this whole scene where Gabriel keeps dropping a book, all confused. And I can write essays about the ease with which Crowley helps him (he answers an unasked question, because he knows angels Dont Ask! He doesn’t get upset when Jim doesn’t blindly accept it. He goes ‘good point, not quite sure’ when questioned himself, *as a parent should* instead of getting mad and kicking your kids out of heaven!)
‘What’s the point?’ Jim asks.
And Crowley goes ‘so things don’t go wandering off and stay put.’
‘But it doesn’t stay where I put it’, Jim frowns. ‘It falls down.’
… and that IS the whole fucking point isn’t it? Without gravity, without the *threat of falling*, the angels above wouldn’t stay put at all. They’d wander off! It’s about fear, and sacrificing half of the lot to keep the other lot in place.
