There was also the “I believe in peace, bitch!” line from Pepper to War.

I literally screamed when she said that. It was just perfect.

When I last saw Tori in concert, my friend bumped into Amanda, Neil’s wife and while my fandom for Tori eclipses all my other fandoms combined, all I could think of was “She touched Amanda and Amanda touched Neil and Neil touched Terry! I’m four degrees from Pterry, GNU!”

Neil Gaiman co-wrote _Good Omens_ with Pratchett, and he adapted it for the series and was the showrunner. Amanda is his wife.

Amanda is specifically Amanda Palmer, formerly of the Dresden Dolls.

And Neil’s name is right there in the thread title. 😛
