A kind of wheezing, groaning noise. He felt a tiny breeze inside his space suit as the particles of the universe shifted ever so slightly.

The flag fluttered in his hand from doctor who blue moon


Blink is one of the most well-liked Doctor Who television stories and for good reason. 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.

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.
