Watched blink at night in my dorm, there's a fountain statue next door, I pulled a hamstring from a jump scare and tried to walk it off, cought a glimpse of the statue and almost had a heart attack because I thought it moved
😂 I’m soo sorry you had to experience that, but I have tears in my eyes. That’s hilarious. Mostly because that’s something that would totally happen to me too smh lmao
what i like about the first bit is that he doesn't answer at the right time every time. Sometimes he comes in a little early, sometimes there's short delay. It's really well made and it shows that he isn't actually talking to her but rather making the conversation up in his head
@@ennayanne I imagine that could be part of the plot (obviously it wasn't intentional at the time). The doctor is given the photos, the angels attack from the photos, and then it loops over and over
You all do realize that by watching this video, you've put an angel into your phone, even if only for a short time? Uh-oh! OOPS!!! Cue the evil laugh: "Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
My favourite thing about the weeping angels is how the only way to beat them is to outsmart them, as a lot of the times we see them beaten it's because they were tricked or trapped. Definitely one of the most unique creatures in the show, and the more we learn about them the scarier they get. I wonder if we can see a compilation of the many ways the doctor and their friends have beaten them? I remember during the siege of trenzalore episodes it's implied that the doctor used a mirror to trap a weeping angel by making it perceive itself?
I don't think that's how they work exactly. They aren't exactly stone. They seem to live in a different reality and turn into stone. I think there was an episode where a guy trapped one and chipped away at it. It didn't die.
@@quiteslayer4067 If you think about it further though, you really can't kill a stone. You can turn it into smaller bits of stone, maybe even quite a bit smaller, but that's not 'killing' it. The angels don't really seem to mind one way or the other and it's said to be their perfect evolutionary defense, so I doubt something as simple as pulverization would have any effect on them. For al we know breaking their stone bodies into tiny pieces just gives their 'real' bodies more spots to respawn in from once they stop being looked at.
If angels cannot move if observed by ANY libing being... just throw a few ants at em, or a bottle of flies, anything with a high field of view especially fragonflies
As usual on Who, the writing can be patchy and some episodes play out like they picked the alien by lottery. The silent assasins start ripping out peoples spines rather than zapping them through time to feed on their time energy. It's like a lion hanging people rather than devouring them.
16:20 when you rewatch this episode after season 6, you truly get more of a sense of River doing whatever she can do to make sure her mom gets out alive so that she can be born 😅 And I don't think Alex knew about that aspect of the relationship yet.
I remember seeing something with Alex saying that she had the diary and it was full of Rivers memories that Alex thought were just character building but turned out were upcoming episodes. However even if she did know about all these aspects of the relationships it doesn’t make it any less amazing
Alex Kingston said she had been told by Moffat over a year prior what River's and Amy's relationship actually was -- it was Karen/Arthur/Matt who were kept in the dark until S-6, being genuinely surprised when reading "x" during the run-throughs. Alex kept the secret to herself for over a year with Moffat having told her it so as to inform how she approached certain scenes from an acting/delivery POV.
Angels take manhattan will always be one of my favourite pond era episodes it’s so tragic but beautifully written by Steven Moffat such a unique concept for the angels
@@Blebstinchenit wouldn’t work, they aren’t actually made of stone, they just become completely solid, the term stone was only used to make it easier for Sally and Lawrence to understand
I know nothing about Doctor Who. I've never seen an episode. But I do know that the Weeping Angels are one of the most ingenious creations to ever be written. What great horror!
Suddenly realizing that the angels were terrified of what was about to happen ... in the sight of the Doctor and others, they literally could not make a move to save themselves. The fasted unseen things in the universe ... frozen as they are sucked through the rift. Never thought I'd ever feel sorry for the things ... and yet now I do. Damn good writing.
I really love the silence in doctor who. The thought of this race of aliens that are immediately forgotten the second they’re looked away from. Absolutely love those weird things
I think my favourite moment was when they were exploring the caves and the doctor asks why all the statues have one head when the aliens that lived there had two ... that moment of realisation that every single statue we had seen was a weeping angel ...
Okay, woah woah woah, wait wait wait wait wait. I just watched the episode where the Doctor meets the Devil - an ancient beast from before the beginning of the universe or after or during, doesn't matter - that's the quote. Defeated and imprisoned by an unknown force. And the Angels, nobody knows where they're from - but they're angels. No matter what statues they inhabit or become or whatever - they're always angels. Always angels. So, here's my standing theory: Whatever imprisoned the Devil either utilised, impacted, or became the Weeping Angels. That's why they have such a unique relationship with time, being able to "eat" it, and that's why they're angels.
The weird thing about the angels have the phone box is I saw that on a t-shirt years before I saw the episode, and then in the episode the T-shirt comes from the conversation, but actually is made before the confrontation takes place (from her end).
The reason the angels turning to look at Amy is such a poorly received scene is because it goes against the logic of the angels, they don’t choose to be stone, its a biological fact, they would immediately stop being stone and know Amy is defense less.
I love how since the reels/shorts of the weeping angles started kicking up outa nowhere whole complications/theory videos are popping up. Shorts, reels, and memes have really been dictating what is popular and what isn’t for a while now
The scariest moment in the entire series in my opinion, is when one of them says 'theyve got two heads'. The look of dread as they realise whats surrounding them
Weepings Angels are so good monsters. With such a unique concept They where really well used in they're first apparence ! But the Matt Smith episodes with them (even if they are not bad episodes) make me worried about the future of the Angels. But Village of the Angels was really good and really use them well 👍
Many years ago I was a student at a Christian private school. We saw "Blink" for the first time in English class. You wouldn't believe what happened. Half the class was mentally exhausted. But since then I've been a Dr. Who fan.
This episode was brilliant. When I first watched it I had to stop watching DW for a while as I wanted to just replay the whole episode in my mind and wanted to ingest the whole thing in my brain.
I think the best opponent against, the Evil Weeping-Angels, is a separate faction of them, who are genuine Good Weeping-Angels, who hate what they are, and they want to eliminate all the Evil Weeping-Angels.
dont leave this video paused in the background while an angel is on screen. the angel will come out and you will have to carefully maneuver around it to close the tab or switch to another
They are without question the scariest things ever to appear on Doctor Who by a long way. In a dimension of their own. Quite epically inspired. Ultimate nightmare fodder. Blink and you are gone. I mean...
Absolutely Brilliant Episode! Despite being 50+ when on TV, my eyes opened wide and I sweated! Just like the Early Days! Superbly written and acted. WOW!
Your the first person I've heard say for just ONE angel. Everyone forgets about their peripheral vision.even if you do one at a time... your still somewhat blind.
It would be funny if the reason weeping angels were so angry all the time was because every body has their eyes closed when they see them. In angel culture that could be considered offensive
I got hooked on Doctor Who from the episode Blink. I love how everyone uses a sledgehammer to instantly render them useless when they are statues. Oh wait. I guess the writers aren’t very bright. That’s what I would do if there were a statue in front of me that would attack when I looked away. I do love the show but, that’s very stupid of them to not think of that.
im making up my own canon the weeping angle that moved its head while we are watching is a species that evolved to look like the weeping angles to survive

Such an incredible monster concept. Had a nightmare about these. Always a great episode when they show up, the lore and powers they have insane.
i genuinely had sleep difficulty after watching Tennant’s weeping angel episode for the first time

I literally got jumpscared by the thumbnail on the notification. Definition of PTSD .
My sister had nightmares of stones at weeping angles. She then let time pass and out grew her fear. Maybe you can too.
"That which holds the image of an angel becomes an angel"
As someone with ACTUAL PTSD, please don't add to the stigma and stereotype by trivialising what we go through.
Can you imagine the statue of liberty being an angel? Yet how the heck did it move, there had to be someone in the city to notice
Mechagodzilla when controlled by the head of monster zero vs the statue of liberty weeping angel would be very interesting
Not possible, they only move when no one’s looking
@@realaztesthat’s the point for all they know it could be a angel but since atleast 1 person is looking at it at all times it’s forever stuck
Lady Liberty is copper, not stone. She’s also not an angel.
The Statue of Liberty is Copper. Plus she’s not a angel she’s a slave who just got freed (which explains the chains on her feet)
*This may save your life.* We all blink automatically. But you can prevent it by closing one eye at a time, every few seconds.

Yes, but it’s difficult. Any tries in The Time of Angels.
Yes but the angels are fast and even if you managed it there is a split second where both ur eyes are closed
@aidanmcdonnell3261 when you close your eye, you open it first before you close the other one, instead of just switching at the same time.

Of all the outwardly creatures that have been on Dr. Who, the Weeping Angels are by far the scariest of them all.

Humans have two eyes, blinking one at a time would help a lot, but its very exhausting to keep up and blurring eventually sets in.

Bit of a shame they left out the part of the Angels taunting Jericho before popping out of the screen.
