![]() *Sigh*… why did I have to be reminded of such a bad episode when I’m talking about such a good one? That’s how to finish a story in an open-yet-satisfying way and not the way Sleep No More would do it a few years later. Just look at the open-endedness of this episode. In all three of their stories to date in which they’ve been the main villains they’ve never actually been defeated, not properly at any rate. Hiding behind the sofa isn’t going to make you any safer, it’ll only put you more at risk if you can’t see! Heck, you’re not even safe in the TARDIS! But the scariest thing about them is something you probably never even considered: You cannot defeat them. ![]() Statues are creepy enough without getting the Moffat treatment, thank you very much! The idea of something moving when you can’t see it is scary enough to keep many a child up all night, as I have no doubt this episode did upon broadcast. He needs her to get the key to the TARDIS and open it in order to send it back to him, but doing so will mean facing the terrifying Weeping Angels.Īnd I’m not using the word “terrifying” flippantly here, the Weeping Angels really are terrifying and never more than here in their debut appearance. The story revolves around Sally Sparrow, played by then-soon-to-be Hollywood superstar Carey Mulligan, discovering a series of cryptic messages from the Tenth Doctor who has been stranded in the past without his TARDIS. I guess what people love about Blink is the intrinsic genius it contains from a storytelling perspective. The best Doctor Who of all time, if we’re to believe the consensus, and while I wouldn’t go that far personally, it still deserves all the praise and all the accolades it gets. With still an episode to fit in before the three-part Master epic finale, where do you go from there? When this episode was to air we were still recovering from the emotional rollercoaster of Human Nature/The Family of Blood.
