I think what made Blink arguably the scariest Angel episode is that it had the balls to remove what would be a major security blanket for audiences - the Doctor himself. For the vast majority of the episode, the Doctor isn't physically there until the end and makes very few appearances, so the audience's sense of people being saved by the antagonistic forces is challenged. Martha Jones is also away as well so the episode's protagonists aren't even people that are used to aliens and sci-fi shenanigans - it's just a couple of random people that are left to their own wits to survive.

even just the next angel episode(s. it's a two-parter) is one of my least favorite episodes, purely because it does a huge disservice to the angels. the angels were an incredible monster, with one of the most horrifying parts being that we could never see them move. and then the time of angels happened. time of angels also set up a bunch of weird extra powers of the weeping angels. you cant look into their eyes... for some reason? seriously why? what actually happened? she had like... an angel in her eye... why is that bad exactly? you have angels all around you, a new one couldn't hurt much, and if you can see it it cant hurt you, so if you dye because it's in your eye, why does closing your eyes help? your eyes dont turn off when you close your eyes, you still see the color black. it's very confusing and doesn't make any sense. anyway, you cant look in their eyes, images of the weeping become weeping angels (and even that is gone back on in future episodes. in the god complex, their are statues of weeping angels in one of the rooms. the doctor says that they are fake which, ok, fair. but... they would become not fake anymore right? they would become real weeping angels.). the weeping angels get to complicated and make no sense when they return past blink. blink was a masterpiece, and now weeping angels suck.

@@lightningjet9444 the idea that they were in their defensive mode because they thought she could see... wait as I was typing this something sort of made some sense to me she has an image of an angel burned into her eye, so the other angels wouldn't be able to look into her eye or they would also be burned with the image of an angel, which would mean they could never move again, due to the fact if they look at one another they're observing each other... So they had to figure out her eyes were closed without being able to see whether or not she had them open, or risk the same death as those from the end of Blink. That all said circling back to the point I was originally going to make, the quantum lock thing doesn't really make all that much sense either. ANY living thing? What about insects and microbes that are affected by them? Conscious observation isn't what matters in quantum physics, to my limited understanding, it's any "observation," or external force on the quantum object. Also eyesight is affected by external forces and do not emit any information outward, only internally to the being processing the visual information, so do angels work by reading the minds of creatures, from the past so that their defense mechanism can turn them to stone before being seen? Point is if you think about it for any length of time some of it starts falling apart. "Wibbly wobbly." Just enjoy the show. I forget what happens in their third appearance after a whole bunch of them got erased from time which meant the images of those original angels were no longer images of angels because the original angels never existed therefore the images and Amy's memory of her angel's image meant absolutely nothing, which means those must have been all the angels because even if the particular angel no longer exists, wasn't the reason there wasn't even any drawings of angels because ANY image of an angel becomes an angel? So even if it's an image of a particular angel doesn't the fact it's AN image of AN angel make it a NEW angel? Again that *could* explain the whole not wanting to risk looking at Amy and seeing the angel that was IN HER EYE killing themself and that separate angel?

Technically it's not stone, something way harder. Depending on what he meant by 'quantum locked' those statutes could be frozen in a single point in time.

E.g. spending people back in time, feeding off time energy, the frozen moment theory sounds most applausable.

But they may have been introduced to that technology my other aliens who thought they were the artworks of a dead race.

when I was 10 or 13 I watched for first time at a friend's house I couldn't sleep for 2 to 4 hours at night after everyone else fell asleep it freaked me out lol Now I laugh when I'm 24 now but I was so scared I couldn't close my eyes cause in the episode he literally says not to as well "don't blink" 😂
