"That which holds the image of an angel becomes an angel"

[@LiamOwO]

My favourite thing about the weeping angels is how the only way to beat them is to outsmart them, as a lot of the times we see them beaten it's because they were tricked or trapped. Definitely one of the most unique creatures in the show, and the more we learn about them the scarier they get. I wonder if we can see a compilation of the many ways the doctor and their friends have beaten them? I remember during the siege of trenzalore episodes it's implied that the doctor used a mirror to trap a weeping angel by making it perceive itself?

[@aiyannagriffith4382]

"You can't kill a stone." Dynamite. If conventional methods don't work set a trap so when you do stop looking, they're stuck.

[@star22sally67]

I don't think that's how they work exactly. They aren't exactly stone. They seem to live in a different reality and turn into stone. I think there was an episode where a guy trapped one and chipped away at it. It didn't die.

[@quiteslayer4067]

@@star22sally67I mean, chipping away and completely alliterating in an instant have very different effects.

[@MirroredDreamscape]

@@quiteslayer4067 If you think about it further though, you really can't kill a stone. You can turn it into smaller bits of stone, maybe even quite a bit smaller, but that's not 'killing' it. The angels don't really seem to mind one way or the other and it's said to be their perfect evolutionary defense, so I doubt something as simple as pulverization would have any effect on them. For al we know breaking their stone bodies into tiny pieces just gives their 'real' bodies more spots to respawn in from once they stop being looked at.

16:20 when you rewatch this episode after season 6, you truly get more of a sense of River doing whatever she can do to make sure her mom gets out alive so that she can be born 😅 And I don't think Alex knew about that aspect of the relationship yet.

[@Darthhester459]

I remember seeing something with Alex saying that she had the diary and it was full of Rivers memories that Alex thought were just character building but turned out were upcoming episodes. However even if she did know about all these aspects of the relationships it doesn’t make it any less amazing

[@DrWhoFanJ]

None of these characters are in Season 6 (other than the Doctor themself, obviously!).

[@tideoftime]

Alex Kingston said she had been told by Moffat over a year prior what River's and Amy's relationship actually was -- it was Karen/Arthur/Matt who were kept in the dark until S-6, being genuinely surprised when reading "x" during the run-throughs. Alex kept the secret to herself for over a year with Moffat having told her it so as to inform how she approached certain scenes from an acting/delivery POV.

Suddenly realizing that the angels were terrified of what was about to happen ... in the sight of the Doctor and others, they literally could not make a move to save themselves. The fasted unseen things in the universe ... frozen as they are sucked through the rift. Never thought I'd ever feel sorry for the things ... and yet now I do. Damn good writing.

Weepings Angels are so good monsters. With such a unique concept They where really well used in they're first apparence !

this universe is so cool. I wanna start but is this from doctor who or multiple different shows? and if there's multiple where do I start?

[@sorrowandsufferin924]

Okay, woah woah woah, wait wait wait wait wait. I just watched the episode where the Doctor meets the Devil - an ancient beast from before the beginning of the universe or after or during, doesn't matter - that's the quote. Defeated and imprisoned by an unknown force. And the Angels, nobody knows where they're from - but they're angels. No matter what statues they inhabit or become or whatever - they're always angels. Always angels. So, here's my standing theory: Whatever imprisoned the Devil either utilised, impacted, or became the Weeping Angels. That's why they have such a unique relationship with time, being able to "eat" it, and that's why they're angels.

[@jimgilbert9984]

When the characters/actors aren't looking at the angels (like when Sally and Larry are inside the TARDIS and the angels are rocking it, trying to break in), they still look like they're made of stone. Why? Because we, the TV audience, are looking at them. It's kind of outside the box thinking (the TV box - because TVs used to be boxes - and outside the "blue box" - lol - and outside the box of the story; gods, I love puns). It's also kind of creepy. Think about it for a minute. If we're helping the Doctor and his friends by keeping an eye on the angels, that means we're affecting what's going on, which means there's an element of reality involved here, so that means... Do we have weeping angels in our universe, too? Makes those shots of the statues all over the place at the end of the episode even creepier, doesn't it? Cue the evil laugh: "Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" DON'T BLINK!!! 😳 👁👁 🥺 And don't look away. Like you're doing now by looking at your phone instead of keeping an eye on the angels! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 Cue the evil laugh again: "Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" How many out there tried to keep from blinking after the Doctor passed on his warning? 👋 Cue the evil laugh yet again: "Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Hello, old friend. And here we are, you and me, on the last page. By the time you read these words, Rory and I will be long gone. So know that we lived well, and were very happy. And above all else, know that we will love you always. Sometimes I do worry about you though. I think once we're gone, you won't be coming back here for a while, and you might be alone, which you should never be. Don't be alone, Doctor. And do one more thing for me. There's a little girl waiting in a garden. She's going to wait a long while, so she's going to need a lot of hope. Go to her. Tell her a story. Tell her that if she's patient, the days are coming that she'll never forget. Tell her she'll go to sea and fight pirates. She'll fall in love with a man who'll wait two thousand years to keep her safe. Tell her she'll give hope to the greatest painter who ever lived, and save a whale in outer space. Tell her this is the story of Amelia Pond. And this how it ends.
