The coolest thing about the Weeping Angels is that the viewer also counts as looking at them. When Sally takes the TARDIS key, she's not looking at two of the angles the whole time, but we see them, so they don't move. Only when Sally obstructs our view of them, do they move. And that's just one example of many throughout the episode.
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.
Doctor: “it gets a bit confusing at weddings... especially my own”
Moffat:muhaahahahahahaahahahah
Ma come cazzo fa un fan di Doctor Who ad essere fascista?
Blink is nearly universally well regarded. Certainly it is considered one of Stephen Moffat's best written episodes.
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
09:45 never noticed before, but the angel behind Sally is looking at her, and as Sally stands up, she obscures the angel from us, and then when she moves, the angel is "weeping" again
I just realised something! Remember in Catherine's letter, she mentioned that her youngest daughter was called Sally, I think that Billy married that Sally! Maybe that was supposed to be obvious but I only just put that together!
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!
Do you think Moffat was traumatised by a living statue at some point in his childhood
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
Ok can we all talk about how awesome it is that Sally’s half convo with the doctor in Larry’s shop on the tv and then her later convo with him in the house made sense in both contexts. ‘Now you’re going to say ‘well I can hear you’.........Well I can hear you’ . That’s so awesome 😭😂
Fun fact: The Weeping Angels are all played by actresses in heavy makeup to look like they are stone.
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
I've always LOVED that the Angels' quantum lock mechanic also applies to the viewer. Even we don't get to see them move, ANY observation kicks in that power, makes it that much creepier. Such an underrated aspect of this episode.
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.
Ironic, this is the episode people recommend for people to watch if they've never seen the show. Your boy could have stayed and watched.
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?
I wish Sally had become a companion at some point with Larry. She was brilliant and Larry reminded me of Rory also.
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
The weeping angels still terrify me, them and the Vashta Nerada.
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.
I love how you just casually bring your bro in mid-reaction 😂😂
Lol, Phillipe
Writing, directing, editing, music suspense, acting - All on point
"I would take out my phone and start livestreaming" Bad idea. VERY bad idea. Every image of an angel becomes an angel.
One of the best episodes of Modern Who imo. Love it.
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
You notice they never move when the characters look away but we can see the weeping angels. We count as looking at them too.
"Oh great, now you got me scared of statues and mannequins."
That was also my reaction when I first saw Blink, but I also love it when I see other reactors who gets terrified of it and at the end have the same reaction that now they're traumatized by statues. XD This will forever be my favorite episode to watch reactions.
"That's a Dabbing Angel," lol.
It's funny how the angels turn to stone even when we are the only ones looking at them.
When we see them it still counts as someone seeing them they only move when no one looks not even us
FYI, all of the Weeping Angels were portrayed by actors. Not one prop. That's damn fine acting there, keeping that still.
I love the bit at 9.44 where the angels in the background move their hands and then cover up their eyes again while Sally bends down and comes back up. Even tho the music or camera doesn’t really focus on it, it’s cool that it’s still there to observe in the background. Also ‘it was raining when we met’, ‘it’s the same rain’
The whole end of this season was epic. With blink and then the next episode and the season finales.
When this first aired it freaked the crap out of me, the weeping angels still to this day scare the shit out of me. The pure idea of them is just brilliant and frightening.
Look up weeping angel bloopers youll never be able to take them serious again 😂😂 those mimes that play them are the best
This is one of the most iconic episodes, and I LOVE that you didn’t know that going into it.
28:27 "I would take out my phone and start livestreaming" -- You have no clue how bad an idea that would be.
@Dazed Loc Oh god never livestream an angel
@@Eddie_Dingle1 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
My favourite DW episode of all time. Love some timey wimey fun. Also, love that Moffat put that final scene in just to make millions of kids (including me) scared of statues forever
I watched this when I was young and made me scared of the dark. And I still do today. I think this episode has permanently scared me for life no joke at all.
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
I look forward to introducing friends to this episode just so I can see their reactions. This is clearly a labor of love for all those involved. What a great episode. I really enjoyed your reaction to it and the way you guessed (like I did) as to what was going on the whole time.
This and the two-parter were on a single DVD in the set. Best disc in all of Who.
Everyone's talking about the weeping angels, but I just love the Doctor's nonchalant explanation of "goes ding when there's stuff" as if that means literally anything to the other guy whatsoever
It's nice that you didn't have any knowledge of this episode going into it. I think a lot of reactors are aware of the status of this episode/the Angels, their expectations are heightened and as a result they don't seem to love it as much as they could. Seeing you react to all these brilliant concepts without any prior knowledge was a joy to see and pretty much mirrors how everyone felt when this first aired in 2007. It was a game-changer, delivered one of the best stories in sci-fi, and set the bar for how to do layered and complex storytelling on the show.
Literally like 6 months after this aired she got nominated for an Oscar and was lead in great gasby with dicaprio...then she married a Mumford and son and kind of went away...
It's such a simple storytelling device - no SFX, no fancy makeup, just on-point editing. And it can only work in a moving visual medium. Brilliant.
I'm going back through some of your videos that are of my favorite episodes. This is one of the videos that 100% creeped me out. Doctor Who's made me so irrationally afraid of random objects... angel statues... snowmen... christmas trees....
You got scared of Christmas trees from that episode where a tree starts spinning?
jump between 25:44 and 25:45 and you'll see one of the Angels moving.
I find that frankly hilarious, looks like it's dancing. I don't blame them for the mistake though. Those Angels are real actors with makeup and costume, to make them look like a statue. You can watch bloopers where they literally just dance backstage.
My all time favorite episode. Such a fantastic way to tell an story and having the doctor involved but not exactly save them bc without sally he wouldnt have known
What a beautiful episode in my.mind
For a series about a alien using a time machine, there are very few episodes like this that play with the idea of time.
"Hopefully the lights don't turn off" ...I don't know why that never occurred to me, but yeah--they are absolutely only stuck as long as that lightbulb lives. D:
When the Tardis disappears it won’t matter if the lights go out as all the angels are looking at each other so they can’t move
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.
The Weeping Angels can only move when they are not being observed.
They cannot move when the characters are watching.
They cannot move when we, are watching.
Welcome to the Moffat Era. You're going to like it here.
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.
the Weeping Angels are a terrifying enemy... actually had me looking over my shoulder after first watching it. Actually tried my hardest not to blink during this episode while watching it at first.
The TARDIS always uses old technology that the Doctor has picked up on his travels (such as a typewriter), so there wouldn't be a USB slot, maybe a floppy disk reader.
8:00 just predicted Flatline haha! Great concept.
this episode is beloved and every time I watch it, I remember why..!
This episode is dr who fan's go to episode to get new people hooked on the show for a reason.
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.
Still easily up in the top 3, at least, for all time scariest episodes of the show.
LEGENDARY episode. I still remember watching this back when it first aired and I forced everyone I knew to watch it lmao.
Totally one of the scariest episodes. Wait till you see silence in the library
My niece is into cosplay and did a really good weeping angel costume a few years back. Looked totally real.
To this day still the number 1 episode 🥳🥳
Omg for the past 5 days I’ve been checking this channel every 20 minutes lol. You have no idea how happy I am this released
cute
He needs to watch the other episodes with weeping angels ASAP
Been waiting for this one! “Blink” goes down as one of the greats.
I could be wrong but I think Blink is the highest rated episode on IMDB. I’m surprised you didn’t recognise Carey Mulligan.
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.
This is the episode that made me a full-fledged Whovian. I loved the show before this point, but this is the episode that secured me in the fandom. It's SO good!
My favourite episode of Dr who by far, and I was so shocked when I found out that the angels are models, which completely baffled me by saying that those models are so bloody still through a whole shoot. Love this episode, it's bloody great.
Lol. “Great now you’ve got me afraid of mannequins too! Thanks Dr Who.” I’ve also always been afraid of mannequins had had the exact same reaction!! 😂😂 No matter how many times I’ve seen this episode I still can’t watch it at night…
Funny thing is it's the second time they did this story, it's based on an audio drama where the 8th doctor I think guides a girl called Sally through clues he left behind. The part Moffat added was the angels.
Its funny to see him discover what a weeping angel is 😂
love your reaction and that you included your friend, haha you seem like one of the realest chillest youtubers and it’s just cool to watch videos from someone who seems 100% like a real genuine person, keep it up 👍
I love Moffat’s creations. Weeping Angels and the Silence are brilliant and cleverly made.
@ 15:18 I guess "Mise-en-scene"? Anyway, great reaction to an extremely well-regarded episode. I love your imaginative speculations in the early acts; and you're so right, the editing and general high production standards really enhance an already fabulous script. The writer of this episode, Steven Moffat, once said Dr Who always need a big, movie-scale idea. He said you know you've had a good idea for a Dr Who episode when you think 'bang goes that movie then'. So it was nice you picked up on it having that sort of depth and scale.
I always forget how fantastic this episode was until I see a new reaction!
the trick is to blink with one eye at a time in sequence.
In an alternative ending sally and lary get taken by the angels because the photos they took of the weeping angels will turn into actual angels
Actually streaming with your phone so that you have other people seeing them is amazing idea. Never thought of that.
Next week on Failwhale, Failwhale is thrown back in time to the 1850s where he attempts to make a career watching theatrical productions on the gas-lit stage while providing a running reaction commentary, with decidedly mixed results as he is set upon by hat wearing 19th century yokels for his witty but intemperate interuptions.
This was my favourite episode, I think it still is. I can't help wondering why no one thought to blink with one eye at a time, that way you can keep looking indefinitely, even if it looks stupid
For some extra paranoia, go back and count how many times you blinked just watching the episode. That how many times the angels could have caught you
One of my favorite things about this episode is that a non fan can watch it and not really miss out on anything or feel too confused. Most episodes you need a lil more knowledge but not this one. Midnight us another that’s pretty good without knowing anything. You just may not be as tickled about the dialog between The Doctor and Donna.
I am so glad the Weeping Angels were not around when I was watching Classic Who as a child...
Creepy as hell...
That picture can become another angel . . .
this is the episode i show to people who have never seen the show because it's totally self-contained and, as you are well-aware, BRILLIANTLY written.
"Whatever you do, don't blink!"
This is the episode I show to ppl in order to convince them to watch the rest of the show
Excellent reaction my good man! Steven Moffat is a brilliant writer. Sometimes too clever for his own good. But when he is on he is capable of some jaw dropping stuff!
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.
This episode is what happens when Moffat goes “fuck it” and goes balls to the walls scary.
*THIS* is what happens when he’s let off the leash.
This was the best episode
Love watching your reaction to this
I so happy u FINALLY GOT TO THIS OMG
The old guy in the hospital probably got to see his mother, father and himself grow up
Huzzah, beside reaching it you also get the wibbly wobly phrase
I'm glad you enjoyed this when I first watched this i was 6 and it scared the life out of me
Moffet is a genius. This is the best episode ever.
One of the GOAT episodes of all time
This is a good example of time travel done right!
For that guy JustSomeRandomGuyOnline to hear, Blink is still considered the best episode of all time by almost everyone.
It's like he thinks claiming "Moffat bad" enough times will eventually make it true
Quantum Theory - by the very act of watching, the observer affects the observed reality. This episode creeped me the hell out XD
It is A very beautiful writing story.. ❤️ What i love about it (( of course the very Great and creative and smartly writing story and the acting)) is we saw it from the point view of people that the time travel happened to them.. Not from the doctor's point view and that is very rare ❤️
Love your reaction ❤️
This episode TERRIFIED me as a kid. I'm excited to see how it held up
Good point! I’ve watched this episode of dozen times. I never realize that if the lights go off, they could unfreeze themselves.
The one We've all been waiting for
This is defiantly one of the Rushmore episodes for New Who. Blink is awesome every time you watch it.
Uh. Your friend is wayyyy pretty. Just a casual observation.
average looking
The Weeping Angels are the scariest villains in the series
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.
i can’t wait to see your reaction to midnight (and s4 in general, my fave series)
In your reaction to the first episode 'Rose' you mentioned you disliked mannequins, i instantly wondered what you would think of the Angels lol.
This episode remains the best example ever of the writer's paradox. The doctor reads the transcript Sally gave him, and Larry writes what the doctor reads. So who says his lines first ? Sally ducks because the doctor writes "duck" and he did because she ducked, etc... The saddest thing is that he can't save Billy and tells him he will meet Sally again on the day he will die, because Sally tells the doctor she met him on the day he died...
Great reaction to my joint favourite enemy of the Doctor (joint favourite with Daleks).
