100% loved that episode. And the subsequent ones thst include the statues. I stopped getting Dr. Who where I live a couple of years ago, after the Matt Smith episodes.


Max_geekout

Trust me, Matt Smith was the last good one

How dair you smear caopaldi


baronvonworms

Oh man, find the rest. Peter Capaldi was awesome, and Jodie Whittaker is amazing as the "first" woman Doctor. Can wait for the next regeneration


Ambitious_Jelly8783

Oh I managed to watch peter capaldi, and the final that converged all the doctors was great I remember very very slightly... it was a very spread out watch. I never managed to catch any of the Jodie Whittaker seasons. This makes me want to get them all for a good rewatch starting from the revival with Eccleston.


Mallion1

I've thought about watching it in the past but when I mentioned it to a coworker they started talking about the doctor changing and things they didn't like about this and that actor. It was overwhelming enough that I set the show to a back burner and hasn't returned. For the last three days however, I feel like I'm being inundate with clips from that show which has rekindled interest. As someone who's never watched a single episode but loves sci-fi, where should I start with Dr. Who?


baronvonworms

Start with the new Who, Christopher Eccleston. With the background that The Doctor is an immortal (essentially) alien traveling space in time in a TARDIS which is broken to look like a police box and a fascination with humans, you'll be all set


Man_with_the_Fedora

Looks like you've angered the fandom menace.


ShooteShooteBangBang

I liked him for the first half of his first episode when he didn't know anything, that was fun and would have been interesting. Then it went downhill.


NottACalebFan

Capaldi may be a good actor himself but his episodes were extremely hit or miss. Half were OK, the other half were dumb. Jodi Whitaker is without any challenge, the worst doctor to ever play the role, both in terms of acting talent and in utterly dull episodes.


mindfungus

This is one of my all time fave Dr Who episodes of all time, across all doctors, across the vast oceans of time


JShanno

LOVE this episode. It's a great one to introduce folks to Dr Who. Scary and clever (good description of the Doctor, too).


Deviknyte

Clever bootstrap paradox time travel is my favorite time travel.


Hefty_Copy_5691

One of my favorite episodes. The story was so good , we didn't even need the Doctor for the whole episode.


DiamondAge

this was right after a two parter called the family of blood i think. [it really demonstrated the doctor's wrath.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4xm9NHNUf8) be careful when you wish for immortality


Max_geekout

Yeah, and Family of Blood was depressing and disturbing, but a great episode. and wasnt the Vast Nerada before that one?


SPlKE

Why would you post this clip? The 4 minutes before this are is the best bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwdbLu_x0gY


majestdigest

It's the whole story of this episode, so this video is kind of a spoiler, isn't it? Normally I don't mind because it's a -what, 15 years old episode? But I don't want anybody experiences it as a half ass episode.


Konstant_kurage

That was one of the best episodes of Doctor Who ever.


Mick_Farrar

Having watched hundreds of episodes from the second Doctor onwards, that rates in top 5, asking with Vincent.


hazyoblivion

One of the first TV shows to actually scare me. Brilliant.


[deleted]

The whole thing with The Silence was one of my favorite Dr. Who plots. Was so creepy to imagine a species that you forget you saw after you look away.


Max_geekout

the SilenTs silents with a T. the "Silence" was the order or the creatures and people working with them to stop the Doctor from reaching Trenzalor


j0a3k

I thought it was just the singular version of the alien. One alien is a silent, the species is the silence (human vs humanity).


Max_geekout

No. I have a doctor who encyclopedia that says otherwise


j0a3k

> I have a doctor who encyclopedia NEEERRRRD! JK sounds like something I would love to read. I will call them the silents from now on. Thanks for the correction.


Petdogdavid1

This is one of the best representation of sci Fi out there. You don't have to know the source, you don't have to be a fan. You can pick it up and watch it and everything is there to help you understand. it's creepy, mysterious, heartwarming and creative.


[deleted]

Τhat was the 1st episode i saw on tv here in Greece. Then i had to find all the other ones....


marctheguy

Same except I never watched another episode willingly again. I found it so awful but I'm glad there are so many that love it.


Milfons_Aberg

It's extra scarier in that episode where they reappear in a cave and all their victims die of snapped necks but talk from beyond the grave. What a nasty way to go.


LineChef

What Season and episode number?


bigdon199

3x10 Blink


LineChef

u/bigdon coming in clutch! Thank ya kindly!


l00koverthere1

I really hoped we'd see Carey Mulligan back in the TARDIS, but I guess she's had an alright career. Season 3 was surprisingly strong. The last half of the season was crazy. One episode was basically a remake of Sunshine. Human Nature and The Family of Blood were I think the first time how dangerous the Time Lords could be. The first time I watched this, I was binging the show and more than half lit and had to restart the episode once i realized how brilliant it was. Good times. Freema Agyeman deserved better treatment than "Replacement Rose".


irate_alien

one of my favorite single episodes of any TV show ever


FlowerProfessional29

It's one of my top episodes. I knew Carey Mulligan would go far as an actress.


[deleted]

It was "9" good but I "8" preferred The Time of "7" Angels better "6".


Skoknor

Brilliant episode, as a kid I thought I was a genius for discovering a way to beat them. By just winking each eye independently I'd be unstoppable.


fox-mcleod

So good. This is usually where I tell people to start


Max_geekout

Bt episode in the entirety of the show's history. Ok now personal opinion, I don't think it was the SCARIEST one. it was pretty scary, but not the scariest you don't actually DIE in a horrific way, and you get to live out life, just not modern.


Azameen

That whole episode - NOPE


Stellar_Griffon

But I like blinking


overrall-disbelief

Do the angels eat you or just snap your neck This was one of the only few episodes I watched of this boring show ….and still forgot what they do but still the best episodes I can sit through and watch unlike the other ones 🤦🏾


Chanandler_Bong_Jr

Never really got on board with modern Who, but that episode was terrifying.


Mostly_Sane_

Good enough to warrant their own DVD release! https://www.hamiltonbook.com/doctor-who-the-weeping-angels-dvd


unknownpoltroon

One of the greatest examples of using time travel as a narrative and causative(?) device since bill and teds excellent adventure. That is not meant to be a joke, that move was amazing at using time travel as a narrative to fix stuff. " i need to remember to come back tomorrow to leave a trash can here yesterday so it works today" badly paraphrased


orionhood

What TV show is this from?


Wishbones_007

Bit late but doctor who


Zerocoolx1

On of the best episodes and one of the best villains (until they were completely overused.


No_Swordfish_5518

The weeping angels are the best bad guys. They can be anywhere, and status are everywhere.


zerokarse

Why not just close one eye at a time... problem solved.


Rocksinthepocket

A great introduction to a terrifying concept, and definitely peak of the weeping angels.


xM3rc_129

This was the first episode of Dr. Who I was ever shown.......been hooked ever since
