Talk:Gabriel Goodman/@comment-98.227.41.222-20191102060705

Because Gabe's name isn't revealed until the end - when Diana finally claims her agency in a healthy way, Natalie starts thinking of her own well-being, and Dan allows himself to acknowledge his grief - I feel Gabe's name is quite significant. The information I've found so far on the Archangel Gabriel only partially matches up, mainly in how Diane uses him as a vessel through which to answer her own questions and how he speaks both to her subconscious and to Dan, trying to deliver a message that grief can only be resolved through acceptance. Even then, there's hardly any spirituality brought into the show, so the name Goodman may not even point to Jewish or Christian messaging at all. Does anyone here know of any other famous Gabriels that this name may refer to? Is it possibly arbitrary, and only needed for there to be a name to reveal in demonstration of Dan no longer pretending?
