Oooh, ominous synopsis from TV.com

Excellent episode. :thumbsup:

I really enjoyed this one as I thought it was a very clever storyline and The Weeping Angels were a very creepy villain, I think Steven Moffat is definitely one of the best Doctor Who writers and so I’m looking forward to seeing his Jekyll and Hyde adaptation.

With no Doctor or Martha for most of the episode I thought Sally was a very good heroine. I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for Carey Mulligan :wub: since Bleak House but I thought she carried the episode really well. :thumbsup:

I liked the non Doctor episode from last season with Peter Kay etc but this one was much better, nice touches of humour without being too jokey and with a much stronger and more tense storyline.

The Weeping Angels were pretty spooky, I thought, and the way they were done reminded me of the way the show used to scare me when I was a kid :thumbsup:

Great episode, really enjoyed it. The last three have really got things back on track, imo :)

Doctor just keeps getting better and better I agree Steven Moffat is great writer! When Kathy's Grandson tuned up at the with a letter to be give to Sally at that exact time and place it reminded of Back to the Future 2 and help me understand what going on. Did feel really sorry for Kathy and Billy having their lives as knew taken away on the other hand they both seem to have gone on to be happy lives so maybe it work out for them after all? :ponder:

Carey Mulligan was fantasic they aren't too many shows I can think where can hand over lead to a guest star this second but worked so well!

Loved this one. Thought it was imaginative in its choice of villains, and well done to the writer for making a pretty complicated storyline easy to follow. :thumbsup:

I also enjoyed this episode, and it proves Doctor Who can work with its lead characters pushed to the background for a change. The weeping angels were quite scary especially when Kathy's brother looked away for one minute and the next the angel was there baring teeth!

There is a story on the beebs mini site which apparantly was in the 2006 annual from which Blink was based if anyone is interested.

:thumbsup: I really enjoyed this, it was very well done, very good guest actors :)

The weeping Angels were incredibly creepy :fear: particularly the bared teeth as you say. I hope we get some more of these type stories :thumbsup:

:fear: weeping angels (hiding behind hands = ok, showing their fangy face :fear: ) but then scary, as far as we know they only sent people back in time, no fun for the victim but not deadly :unsure:

so the angels only moved when you blink but i am sure there was a lot of people when they moved in the street near the police station :unsure:

ok so the doctor is stuck in 1969 but as shown by billy, it was not really stuck, he could have live a life (what is 38 years for a time lord) to reach the time he "lost" the tardis (of course martha might have not like that idea :rolleyes: )

:lmao: :thumbsup: @ the doctor plan to trick the angels to look at each other

a good episode :thumbsup:

I don't think it's meant to be immediately deadly.

If I picked it up correctly, the people who get sent into the past, can never then achieve the full potential that they were destined to acheive, and it is that potential that the "Angels" feed on.

Think of it this way...

Buffy Summers, thrown back in time at, say, her twelfth birthday party. She would then, never be called to be a slayer, someone else would. But all of Buffy's potential slayer power would be floating about with nowhere to go. That is what the creatures need to survive.


Of course, that's only my interpretation, and it could be wrong, but come on, how often am I wrong? :unsure: :unsure: :lol:

Great episode! The weeping angels were super creepy, and it was an interesting departure from the usual type of storyline. Also, I enjoyed it much more than the "non-doctor" episode from last series. :)

Indeed Michelle. It was everything that "Love and Monsters" could, and should, have been.

I had been a bit worried, thinking this episode could have gone down the tubes like Love and Monsters, but fortunately, the story and acting were faultless, and they didn't have a famous "comedian" in it, just for the novelty factor this time around :lol:

was rewatching a bit last night, and when the doctor met billy (the cop), martha mentionned that they have been to the moon four times :o when? why? :lol: :unsure:

also the trailer for next week :yahoo: jack :yahoo:

She said they'd been to see the moon landing 4 times.

I think that Martha is an Armstrong/Aldrin Fangirl :lol:


Oh yeah, next week.....

Was it just me or was that exchange a little on the less side of friendly? :unsure:

:ermm: somehow that sound like the tardis appearing/landing at the torchwood HQ was not on purpose :ermm: there was also a shot of jack outside the tardis while the tardis was moving in time/place :ermm: so maybe the doctor was not expecting jack and jack was not really happy about the way he travelled :unsure:

guess we will just have to wait for the episode
:shrug:

---------------

if the doctor can leave a message on the wall (and why would the weeping angel throw a stone ? :unsure: ) to warn sally, why didn't he leave more information (or sent a letter ..................... sound too much like Back to the future :lol: :unsure: :ponder: )

I was a little out of it on Saturday but I remember enjoying this episode a lot. The angels were very creepy and the gamble that's always taken when you don't give your leads a lot of screen time really paid off. I enjoyed last year's Love and Monsters but the Torchwood episode Random Shoes which had a similar 'guest star' premise didn't really work for me.

Right. After catching this again on tv last night I can definitely say that it's the best episode of tv I've seen this year that doesn't involve the words "Shield" and "The" (Heroes can take a running jump :p ). Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen I found it even more riveting than the first time around.

And Sally Sparrow... :wub:
