I think it's the way they condemn God in the Job episode- and then (much much later) do the same thing themselves. I'm tired and it took me a moment, but you mean they're testing the humans in their own way.
I guess they... they play games above their station, in one sense? I guess that's true. Though that implies it's chill for God and Satan to do, which I don't think is the lesson here.
But then 1941 seems to be a different thing again. This one is three parts, and we only have parts 1 and 2 so far. Obviously Everything Is Connected, but trying to look at the narrative strands, this makes sense to me *nods* I think that makes sense.
And Job and Edinburg both have this morality component to them, where 1941 is more about their bond and trusting each other. Though, that said, that's something else that doesn't make sense to me about 1941? At the end when Azirpahale is like 'if you really were as bad as you say, you would have walked away.' And then they have their toast to shades of gray. And I'm like?!?!? I don't see how this follows? Morality didn't really play into this--it was all your weird co-dependent human LARPing. You both should have walked away. The 'you said to trust you' / 'and you did' part of the conversation flows naturally out of what actually happened that night. The shades of gray stuff does not. Maybe that's the point!??! They make things about their angel/demon-ness that aren't really about that at all?
