When you think about it, the 10th Doctor has never actually interacted with the Weeping Angels on screen, even though they were introduced during his time.
If he did, time might have been written in such a way that two conversations could happen even though one side hasn't changed. I would've loved to see the writer's figure that one out though, hahaha
If this ever happened to me, where I was in Sally's shoes and some weirdo in glasses is talking to me from the other side of a TV screen, I would probably freeze up in utter fear.
and the fact murderious Alien life forms in the shape of Angels Wouldnt? talking to the Dr wouldnt scare me ..it would be when i relize "wait ...i'm not looking at the Angel"
Or kinda like that game, I have no idea it's name but I used to play it back in childhood where you pretty much have to catch a person that's it but if they look at you, you must freeze, if you are caught moving, you lose. It's pretty much a Weeping Angel game.
Just think about this guy. One of tons of people geeking out over this bizarre Easter egg for who knows how long - he’s been listening to it, watching it over and over again. While he has a few things to ponder about it, emotions bubbling up about its possible meaning, it’s when he’s in Sally’s presence that these words he’s heard repeatedly ... finally take on the meaning that leaves him creeped out about their indications.
@viiathelens except this character was too big to not be recognised Karen Gillan was in full makeup and at least slightly hard to identify, plus she was a side character, they explained why Capaldi came back as The Doctor, but Sally was too big and recognisable to come back as someone else, for the actress to come back she'd have to be Sally again, which I wouldn't be against
Yes. It was never established if the quantum locking applies to self-vision, but it doesn't matter either way because they cover their eyes. Also, considering the fact that they can cover their eyes with their hands and not be perpetually quantum locked from looking at their own hands, it's safe to say that it doesn't apply to self-vision.
They cover their eyes to avoid looking at each other. If they looked at another angel, that angel would freeze, and the same would apply to them in the alternate scenario.
I don’t believe it applies to the angels looking at themselves but it can apply to angels looking at each other (hence the hands blocking the eyes); in this very episode Sally and the other guy are saved as the TARDIS leaves them behind because the angels who’d surrounded it got stuck looking at each other
"The angels have the phonebox, that's my favourite, I've got that on a T-shirt." Funny thing is there is an Actual T-shirt with that written on it and a Picture of the TARDIS.
The Angels don't have to "get used to loneliness". You can't "get used to" something you've never experienced in the first place. The only reason living things get lonely is because they form relationships and bonds. Weeping Angels can't do this, therefore they cannot get lonely.
I'm a virgin and I am still a horny sob. (I know the majority of your argument is correct, but this just dawned on me and I wanted to see your reply to it.)
There are blind people who would like to see. Deaf people who would like to hear. Creatures that have never been able to socialize may still long for it.
also people (Aliens or who ever discovered the Angles) called them lonely assassins cause they are quantum locked, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are lonely
Key to dealing with weeping angels... winking instead of blinking. You just have to have one eye open at a time not both. Just take turns between the two. I'm surprised the doctor didn't think of that...
The first episode I ever watched from the series and that's why it's one of my favourites... The Angels, the enigmatic theme, the timey-whimey stuff... I got hooked and I watched ALL of the series till series 6 and now I am watching series 7 and rewatching from the whole seasons from the beginning. Fantastic!
this was the first episode of Doctor Who I ever watched (my friend made me watch it in the DARK) and it’s still one of my favorites. Gives me absolutely chills, this scene does. Wow.
This was a brilliant story. Haunted House, rolling shadows and run of the mill people stepping into something extraordinary. I hope we get to see more of the Angels in the future.
A) I know the Angels are one of the oldest species, but what I meant was there was only a few thousand years between the episodes they featured in. Though they may have changed drastically from their original forms to what was in the Blink episode, they didn't have enough time for major changes between Blink and the Time of Angels. Evolution happens over millions of years, not a few thousand. C) The difference is intent. The Doctor's companions go willingly, the Angels do their thing to feed.
Right, but when you're observing the footage, you're a living thing observing an angel, which freezes it. So no, we can't. Explains why sometimes in the episode(s) the angels are frozen even when onscreen characters aren't looking at them. WE'RE looking at them.
They are not just stone though,they are "quantum locked", frozen in time. You can't smash them because they are not really there,they are frozen in time back in the moment you first looked at them and time won't unfreeze for them until you look away again in the future. Unkillable.
Such a well written episode. One of my favourites. The weeping angels were really scary in this episode. But in their later appearances. I didn't find them scary. I suppose that's what happens when they use the same monsters often.
Yep.not to mention angles seeing each other and still being able to move, he broke a lot of rules in that episode. What gets me is that he MADE the rules in blink.
Er, but the angels *are* in the footage. "An image of an angel is an angel itself," remember? That's why the CCTV loop of the angel in the parking garage appears to change position independently of the video loop--but only when Amy is not watching the screen.
Also the weeping angels would shut off his camera. Anyways, his plan could work if he used a lot of small mirrors since the angels would be looking at them selves and so and so would their living reflections. And the reflected angels would disappear from existence as soon as the angel no longer is reflected x3
I think something would be stopping you from just smashing one of them...like, maybe they're indestructible. Granted, the thought had crossed my mind before
I think the Weeping Angels in "Flesh and Stone" and "The Angels Take Manhattan" forgot they can't look at each other or they would be quantum locked...
I shudder every time i think of that episode. I don't know WHY but losing total control of yourself like that, paralyzed and unable to move is just so scary.
Everyone's overthinking it. Wouldn't there almost always be something looking at an Angel? I mean a fly, a bird, some kind of insect? It could pretty much never move on Earth.
I'm one of the people who'd like to see sally sparrow as a companion. thanks for putting this excerpt up - the BEST scene in the entire new series. it may not be the most emotionally evocative, but it really is so very clever in so many different ways: the fear it creates in every day objects (statues) and the coolness of the idea of one side of a conversation recorded 40 (30?) years in the past based on a transcript - plus the link to mondern-day internet geek-ism. So cool!
good thing i can close one eye, then open it then close the other and open it repeatedly. I can stay in a room with an angel for hours and be fine long as i concentrate.
well actually, even if you smash the statue, as soon as you look away it apperates back into reality, so the next time you see it, if you see it, there would be a brand new statue standing in front of you
Start at the wikipedia entry for Quantum Zeno Effect. In short: a quantum particle can not change state while it's being observed. Physics gets really weird at levels we're not comfortable with, the very small, very large, very fast, etc.
I personally didnt get to talk to her, but the rest of my family did. I dotn understand how though, cos I was with them the whole time! But this xmas, im gonna talk to her. I swear it! aha, but I walked passed her and she offered me a sweetie :D I took it, smiled and sort jumped with glee. (I was pretty hyped up about it being xmas and all, so I was a little over excited!)
...right. But it would still be an angel in the video footage, so it wouldn't be able to move when they looked at it. That's what we were talking about.
Um, yes, you're right. Specifically, the reason you can't look them in the eye in the footage is because the image of the angel forms in the retina, an image which then becomes an angel and is able to escape through the eyes. Since the retina is part of the central nervous system, it can get in your head, too. How is any of that inconsistent with what I said before? Why "no"?
In "Time of Angels" the Doctor said "every image of an angel becomes an angel"... maybe an angel will become two angels when you knock their head off. Just a thought.
Ah, a very good point well made. I'm ashamed I didn't come to that conclusion myself. That is the most probable answer to whatever the original question was (I've forgotten). Given that thought, perhaps the Angels haven't evolved at all. I don't think they would need to, they are nearly perfect hunters. They have no need for improvement. I still have one problem. The Doctor, in Blink, says that the Angels turn to stone when looked at, and you "can't kill a stone". But you can smash it, right?
I dunno, the bullets in Series 5's Angel two-parter didn't seem to faze them at all. I've always felt it makes more sense to think of their locked form as stonelike, but not necessarily actual stone.
Well you wouldn't expect statues to move at all, so a foot or so a second is still faster than you can believe. Besides, these one were weak and underpowered, watch the season 5 Angel episodes to see what they're like at full strength. Anyway, you try moving more than two feet a second from a standing start with no warning whatsoever while being made completely out of heavy stone.
Did you know it's based off of a fan story starring Eccleston? That one doesn't have Angels, Sally is a high schooler on Christmas vacation and the TARDIS had merely "burped," went forward in time. The Doctor sent all the hints and eventually using her Christmas homework (given to him by a future Sally who's a spy) makes the video.
I must disagree. The Weeping Angels don't have to see other beings, or get to know them, love them even, and then lose them. It's hard to miss something you've never had. When the Doctor says they are the loneliest creatures in the universe, that's just what they are from our perspective. Do the angels view themselves as lonely? Highly doubtful. The Doctor, however, is lonely from his and our perspective.
Listen closely how the violin chords subtly start coming up the moment the Doctor ominously says: "...creatures from another world." Brilliant audiovisuals, this episode.
God the sinking feeling when the doctor says “there’s no more from you on the transcript” like damn you felt so safe talking to him..
You didn’t know how safe you felt talking to him… until you weren’t
I can't believe Sally was only in one episode. She was a brilliant character.

“And then you blink and oh yes it can.”
Probably one of the most scary line the Doctor says, makes me change the perspective of statues.
"i'll rewind it" looool that is so stupid but the funny thing is that mightve been my first instinct too
“What good will that do?!” 😂
If he did, time might have been written in such a way that two conversations could happen even though one side hasn't changed. I would've loved to see the writer's figure that one out though, hahaha
Really should have included the
"...You aren't looking at the angel"
"Neither are you"
And then you should have cut it off there
Probably the finest scene from the finest episode in all of 'New Who'
chilling and creative at the same time
Yep, with a strong female lead who is intelligently written and well acted (unlike 13). 😂
If this ever happened to me, where I was in Sally's shoes and some weirdo in glasses is talking to me from the other side of a TV screen, I would probably freeze up in utter fear.

I would have been taken out by a stone on the first encounter.
Definitely a real head-scratcher this episode was, one of my personal favorites by-far, Bravo for posting this particular scene up for all to view!
This is like a deadly game of red light green light.

She was a priestess in the episode about Pompeii and the eruption of Vesuvius.

As we know from the byzantium episode, they can easily heal their bodies, when they are not observed and have some energy left.

2. Sally Sparrow. Yum.
I love this episode SO much. Steven Moffat is an amazing writer.
If the Doctor were here, he would explain in a very complicated way why the angels can't die from that.....

thanks for putting this excerpt up - the BEST scene in the entire new series. it may not be the most emotionally evocative, but it really is so very clever in so many different ways: the fear it creates in every day objects (statues) and the coolness of the idea of one side of a conversation recorded 40 (30?) years in the past based on a transcript - plus the link to mondern-day internet geek-ism. So cool!
Have you ever spoken to her? Ever asked her if she still tries not to blink when she sees a statue of an angel?
for all we know, they might be able to pull themselves back together
When the Doctor says "I'm very very sorry." to you, you know you're fucked.
good thing i can close one eye, then open it then close the other and open it repeatedly. I can stay in a room with an angel for hours and be fine long as i concentrate.
Great piece of writing this.
Would the finished transcript of the conversation be an example of a bootstrap paradox?
P Hill apparently it's called an ontological paradox
Yes, it's a bootstrap paradox.
Like the song of storms?
Yup
Absolutely, where did the first transcript come from?
Weeping angels heal almost instantly if they have the energy to do so. Energy and even bring them back from degradation death..
well actually, even if you smash the statue, as soon as you look away it apperates back into reality, so the next time you see it, if you see it, there would be a brand new statue standing in front of you
