2025-05-27 10:28:32 +0000 UTCCan I just say I'm so happy you got to this episode, because it's not just one of the best from this season but one of the best from the whole show EVER. I remember watching this for the first time, when it aired all the way back in 2007, when I was 10. I had my best friend at the time staying for a sleepover, we both sat down to watch it, we were freaked out by the Weeping Angels and when the moment the angel showed its fangs, we ran and hide behind the sofa. When the light flickering scene happened we then ran out of the room terrified. When we told my mum and dad what happened they said, "we also hid behind the sofa as well, when we watched classic Who as kids". Basically the hiding behind the sofa is a sort of rite of passage to become a true Whovian. This is one of those moments where I wish I could forget i watched this episode so I can see it again for the first time. This episode also makes me nostalgic for the time of DVDs, I know they are still a thing but sadly not many people buys them any more, unless your one of those fools like me who still does. I do like streaming but I still prefer buying DVDs I don't know why maybe I'm just sentimental. Please someone tell me I'm not the only one.

2025-05-17 22:43:11 +0000 UTCI agree, this may be my favorite storyline that they have done in this series so far. I really enjoyed it. The idea of villains that can only attack when you are not looking at them has been done in a few movies and well as series stories. Interesting and in some cases, very creepy. I won’t say which here as its kind of spoilery to others. Not likely for you Shan as you would not watch those types of movies or series. A twist on this is the episode Hush in Buffy. Except the it was sound and not sight that stopped them. My only issue is eventually these Angels will get free if they all (or at least three of them) get knocked over as they will no longer be looking at each other. You figure an old house like that will eventually get demolished; they would be freed. Or if the statues get moved. The Doctor says stone can’t be killed, but what happens if while you are looking at it, it gets thrown in a pulverizer and its crushed into dust? Does it reassemble? Hmmm.

2025-05-14 07:16:01 +0000 UTCOut of every show or movie I've watched , this episode is the only one to have ever given me a nightmare., which that itself is pretty rare for me. A few days after I first watched this episode for some reason I had a dream that I was being chased by Weeping Angels. I don't remember the exact details of the dream, but I recall that during the dream, it was the most terrified I have ever felt.

2025-05-14 06:43:53 +0000 UTCI agree completely, if your staying at someone else's house wear clothes. I find the Weeping Angels creepy, the Daleks, Cybermen, not so much, but the Weeping Angels, yep, definitely creepy. I really like this episode, this is definitely one of my favorites. I know it's a lot of people's favorite, but I can agree with this one a lot more than some other ones, like the previous two parter. At this point I haven't had a lot of absolutely favorite episodes yet, just this one and The Girl in the Fireplace. There were of course other episodes I liked and that stood out to me, like the episode about Rose's dad dying. But those two were and still are favorite episodes.

2025-05-07 08:41:34 +0000 UTCI've been waiting for you to get to this episode. I do hope you continue with Doctor Who and Torchwood. I agree with you about the brother, it is disrespectful. "Because life is short and you're hot," - has to be an amazing line. I have to admit i reacted the same way when i found out she only had 17 DVDs, my DVD collection, even now in 2025 is something I'm incredibly proud of. I do love that the Doctor just accepts that he'll be trapped in 1969 one day. I'm not surprised that you like the episode. Most people consider it to be their favorite, it is not my all time favorite ep, but i do really like it.

2025-05-06 20:43:09 +0000 UTCGlad you enjoyed this. And Time of the Angels is a great 2-parter, that one expanded on what the Angels can do from this episode as Steven Moffatt created the Angels, he added things, like the turn to stone bit. One of the best written episodes of Doctor Who, but it will always get beaten to top spot for the best ever by one other episode.

2025-05-06 19:46:57 +0000 UTCHi just James Patreon member (yes we know who you are) not to blow my horn but I told you this episode was good 😊 You were right about something else too originally, the producers considered having Michael Obiora play both the young and old version of Billy Shipton. However, it was decided that Michael in old man makeup would look too fake, so Louis Mahoney was cast to play the older version, which lead to them playing Father and Son in another TV show. Steven Moffat claims that the Weeping Angels were inspired by the children's game 'Statues', which he found "frightening" David Tennant and Freema Agyeman weren’t in this episode a lot so they could concentrate on the final three episodes of season three. The story came from a Steven Moffat short story he wrote for the Dr Who 2006 annual titled “what I did on my Christmas holidays by Sally Sparrow” The story is ultimately an ontological paradox: the Doctor has all the information, the transcript of the conversation, the contents of the message behind the wallpaper, etc, because Sally gives him that information at the end of the story — but Sally gets that information from seeing the wall the Doctor wrote, watching the DVD the Doctor made and so on. The information never really "starts" anywhere — the Doctor knows what to say in the conversation because he's reading Larry's transcript, which Larry made thirty-eight years later by watching the conversation. The information is in an endless loop. Larry’s comment of having the Doctor’s line; “The angels have the phone box.” written on a T-shirt was written in to see if fans of the show really would make T-shirts with the line written on it, as far as I’m aware they did not. Steven Moffat originally had a different, and much darker, ending in mind for this episode. It would have seen Sally give the Doctor the folder and then step back inside the store to find an Angel inside. Larry then steps in and notices that Sally is not there. He then looks more closely at the painting on the wall and realises the person smiling and waving in it is Sally, having been sent into the past by the Angel. After reflecting on the episode for its 10th Anniversary, Moffat stated that "It makes me wonder why an Angel never sent her back in time. All these years later, I wonder why I didn't end it like that." For some reason this episode keeps coming second in readers polls for Dr Who magazine that said it is ranked 9.8 on IMDB. It did bag Steven Moffat a BAFTA award for Best Writer. Appropriately enough, the unedited footage of the Doctor's message to Sally would later be included as an Easter egg in Series 3's DVD release, accessible by going to the last page of Disc Four's Scene Selection menu and pressing up at 9. Keep Looking to highlight the word "Blink" and then pressing enter. 3 roses. 5 stars.

2025-05-06 18:07:30 +0000 UTCThis is probably my favorite standalone episode of David Tennant’s Doctor, and I’m glad you liked it! I feel like “Wibbly Wobbly Timey-Wimey” has become an phrase outside of Doctor Who, have you heard it outside of this show?
