Doctor Who Season 3 Episode 10 "Blink" REACTION! 

Apparently Moffatt did that on purpose to give the impression the angels also are affected by the camera.

@@ChannelReuploads9451, shame this was ruined in their next appearance

Like when the angels are moving the box around and they only move when the lights are out and we cant see them.

These are the best angels, they get progressively worse with every appearance

I don't think that was the reason they did it. This episode was created to save on budget, and showing them move at superspeed would been expensive, whereas repositioning them costs nothing. But I like that it turned out that way because of it.

Ma come cazzo fa un fan di Doctor Who ad essere fascista?

William E Donges III but over the time its popularity has died down because it's shit

David Blyth it has. If it was written today it would be considered the worst episode of The Series

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 it wouldn't

The_Drop Bear it would

The_Drop Bear it would. I’m not saying Series 11 was good but people were hating on certain episodes even before they aired

And gas masks. And a whole lot of other stuff that we won't spoil right now.

I hear he has a weeping angel in his back garden at home 😂

Slanted Frames Productions Moffat got the idea after seeing an angel statue in an old graveyard. He told his son that and took him to see, only to discover that the angel was gone. ALL TRUE

Fuck that I hate weeping angels they fucking creep me out

Based on Steven Moffat’s experience with an angel in a graveyard..........and the angel in graveyard was chain up, upon returning the statue had vanished, when ask the caretaker about it and why, he said he didn’t know what he was talking about

never thought of that

OHH MY GOD U SCRAMBLED MY MIND

I'd never thought of that! would be marvellous if it were true - and there's no one to say it isn't true

It might work. She was sent back in 1920 and the guy back in 1960.

Oh, wow!

Not all. Some of them were actual statues. But any time they had to change poses, those were the actresses. They also had a bicycle seat inside the Angel skirt apparatus to let them sit and be comfortable for long stretches of time.

@@WolfHredalol one of the people on set thought a statue was an actor

Even in later stories, where their quantum lock _appears_ to not "react" to us, the "god"-audience viewer, it is still operating on a metaphysical, meta-narrative level. In "Flesh and Stone", when they are slowly turning to face Amy, it took me a few minutes to think it through but then it hit me: we, the audience, *aren't* "seeing them move", as such -- we're seeing the result of their moving when we *don't* see them; we're seeing them move in the micro-spaces between frame rates on the screens we are observing them on. Hence, they are actually moving very quickly but are in effect "slowed down" when trying to reach Amy. A neat bit of meta-narrative action, that was. ;) (Even earlier in the episode, when we briefly see the one Angel's hand move, clutching into a grasp, when the Doctor is looking this way and that, it appears as a blink-and--you-miss-it frame rate change. I laughed when I saw that 'cus it was a cute bit of scariness to add to the story.)

It also ties in well with the camera stuff and how time isn’t linear. Just how Doctor and Sally had a conversation over a screen, the viewers are interacting with the episode

@@tideoftime That actually makes me hate that part of Flesh and Stone a little less.

Lol, Phillipe

This really shouldn't be recommended to people who've never watched the show. It would make zero sense.

Luke S. no! It really should!

If this was the first episode I watched I wouldn’t want to watch the show again this is a very bad episode

@@jackdonohue7893 no, it really shouldn't. The protagonists of the show are barely in it, the tone and structure of the episode is completely different from any other episode of the show and the story explores themes and plotlines that have never been explored beyond this episode. It's a fantastic episode, but it definitely shouldn't be anyone's starting point.

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 excusemewat?

Laurence comes back in a new game made by the people who made simulacra. The lonely assasins

way late comment (I know) but I wonder if when Moffat wrote Amy and Rory later he basically just rewrote Sally and Larry. Obviously Amy and Rory would evolve into something far more than just this, but I find that the characters feel (?) similar. Interesting thought.

It’s possible. I find Larry to be similar to Rory especially.

@@KoishNoish way more late comment but, it was actually like that.. sally was supposed to be the new companion along with larry, but the actress said she didn't wanted to have such a long role on a tv series

hey who turned off the lights will always scare the absolute shit out of me

@@perfectionakinwande6623 i traumatized my sister with that. A few months after the episode originally aired, our area had a power cut, the whole house was pitch black and i went "hey, who turned out the lights?" She woke up hearing me say it a second time and screamed. Whenever that episode is on, she turns it over or leaves the room. Legit trauma for her.

When we see them it still counts as someone seeing them they only move when no one looks not even us

Joshiii you have to be joking

JustSomeRandomGuy Online No, no I’m not. I have my opinion.

This was the worst RTD era episode.

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 is the THIS IS WHO I AM account yours too or something? Did you create a second account so you don't feel lonely anymore???

Ion T that has nothing to do with me

Look up weeping angel bloopers youll never be able to take them serious again 😂😂 those mimes that play them are the best

@Dazed Loc Oh god never livestream an angel

@@CeriphShinola the image of an angel becomes an angel; everyone watching would then have their own angel to deal with, which only makes the problem infinitely worse

Same here.

yeah i saw this when i was like 9, and i was terrified of statues for a while

I thought it was only me

@@the_dropbear4392 Same

You got scared of Christmas trees from that episode where a tree starts spinning?

In fairness, a number of people confuse seeing early episodes of stuff Carey Mulligan has been in and think she's either a young Brie Larson, Michelle Williams or Hannah Murray (especially if they are unsure what year/decade something is from). I can't tell you the number of times I've seen people post "is that Carey Mulligan?", or vice-versa, when seeing "x" from a decade or so ago, but it was one of those other ladies instead. (When I first saw "The Great Gatsby" (2013), I initially thought it was Mulligan until I realized it was Murray... lol...)

Yeah it is, it has 9.8 on IMDb.

IMDB is unreliable

JustSomeRandomGuy Online More reliable than the Audience Appreciation Index that's for sure

@Chris Travers She said in an interview in Empire Magazine that she wasn't asked back, but she would have returned in a heartbeat. Moffat didn't ask her because he was sure she would say no.

cute

Can they see eachother in the dark though? If not once the light turns out they could stumble around in the dark unti they make their way out possibly.

It is said that Weeping Angels can see in the dark. So they can still see each other.

Chase Fenner If this episode is the first people watched they wouldn't want to watch the show again it's that bad

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144You're very inconsistant with how you spam your unpopular opinion. I remember reading one of your comments saying most people like it on a first watch to later realize how "bad" it is.

@Chris Travers Don't get him started.

Moffat era started in season 5. He wrote one story a season before he took over that season

@@moniquej2997 Yeah, I know. I guess I meant it more like "Blink" introducing the Weeping Angels, which was the first real through-line of Moffat that carried on into when he was the show-runner.

average looking

Austin Gonzales Moffat is the worst writer in the show ever

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 I still find it hilarious that you never actually criticize anything, you just claim "Moffat bad" and expect it to eventually become true even with no evidence.

@@caleb7551 the evidence is the episodes themselves and how poorly written they are

@@justsomerandomguyonline1144 You have to give the evidence. HOW are they poorly written? When you make a claim you have to present evidence.

But they do not hold a candle to THE SCARIEST monster in whovere.... Abzorbaloff!

Personally, I think The Silence are scarier. Partly because the Weeping Angels (IMHO) were somewhat wasted in future episodes.

Stephen Reacts it gets even worse after season six. You’ll be afraid of every statue, not just angels

It's like he thinks claiming "Moffat bad" enough times will eventually make it true
