The only hope to stop them is a young woman named Sally Sparrow and her friend Larry Nightingale. The only catch: the Weeping Angels can move in the blink of an eye. To defeat the ruthless enemy — with only a half of a conversation from the Tenth Doctor as help — the one rule is this: don't turn your back, don't look away and don't blink!

It's gripping. It's well paced. The directing is excellent. There are multiple genuinely scary moments (not to mention the ending...). The characters are likeable. The plot feels interesting and clever. All of these and more work together to make Blink one of the best Doctor Who stories out there. The only thing holding me back from giving it a full 5 stars is that there are a number of plot holes and unexplained/nonsensical things which, when noticed, do detract from the immersion a little. Like Liked 2 25 April 2024 · 178 words Review by 15thDoctor Spoilers 2 This review contains spoilers! Blink is another high water mark for the series. A perfectly paced, beautifully acted piece of drama that proves that the show has no defined formula and can even survive without its lead actors! Carey Mulligan delivers one of the best (if not the best) guest cast performances of all time. She is perfect dream casting companion material. Finlay Robertson’s Larry is the perfect companion to her companion - a brilliant comic foil. The Weeping Angels, in a single 45 minute story, solidify themselves as a top tier classic villain - and there are only three of those. One introduced in 1963, another in 1966, this one in 2007. Quite an achievement, further cementing “new” Doctor Who’s legitimacy - it is here to stay. Even after watching this story at least 50 times since I was 14 I found myself engrossed. The line about The Doctor’s timey wimey machine cooking an egg at 30 paces genuinely made me laugh out loud. Don’t think I’ve ever properly appreciated that line before. All these years later, still new details to take in. Like Liked 2 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating662 members 4.58 / 5 Trakt.tv AVG. Rating1,773 votes 4.59 / 5 The Time Scales AVG.

She breaks in through a boarded up window and takes photographs of the plastic covered chandeliers resting on the floors, and other pieces of furniture. Then she notices the letter B peeking from underneath a piece of peeling wallpaper. She pulls at it to reveal the words "Beware the weeping angel". Underneath that is "Oh, and duck! Really, duck! Sally Sparrow duck, now." So she ducks just before the window behind her is broken by a thrown pot, which bounces off the wall and breaks on the floor. The light of her torch reveals a statue outside, a winged angel with its hands covering its face. She goes back to the wall and pulls off more paper to reveal -Love from the Doctor 1969) [Hallway] Show Full Transcript Open in new window
