Watched Ice Spiders to the end. Quite a feat. My fear of spiders is cured. From now on when I see I spider I will burst out laughing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jon, thought what you thought and I'm glad it happened their way instead. My hope for it not being that way was that I thought he had to figure out some of the bits she said before he started writing, and that wouldn't happen till after the scary stuff.
My worry about the nasty horrible fucking terrifying (I was a child in Natter because I was SCARED--I can admit that to you people) bad guys is that someone will move the statues apart from each other and they'll get on the move again. Were they holding hands?
That would make me sleep better.

Doctor Who, 20-minute mark: Dammit, Billy Shipton, you're gonna die, aren't you? But I like you! *sigh*

Doctor Who: Holy crap, that was terrifying. *shudder* I think I should have heeded the warning Fiona posted earlier and waited until daylight to watch it. What a cool concept, though! But SCARY AS FUCK.
ita, I had the same worry as you about the statues being moved. AUGH!

Just watched the new Who. Well. I won't be going to bed anytime soon, will I?

I'd resisted aheming this season since I can start recording it in clearer fullscreen off SciFi in a month, but the notion of an episode that can creep out ita and shrift is just too tempting. How vital is it to see eps 1 through 9 before this one?

Matt, it's pretty standalone. I can't think of any previous episode it references, except for the fact that the Doctor is travelling with Martha now.

3X10 can be watched totally standalone-it would make a great jumping on point for new fans.

ita, the statues have been turned completely to stone, so they're the Weeping Angel equivalent of dead now. It doesn't matter what happens to them any more, thank GOD. Different statues, on the other hand.... Thanks for giving a generation of children complete statue paranoia, Doctor Who!
Jon, I didn't think that, though it's very plausible (that may have been around the time I changed channels). Laurence Nightingale, ha ha ha.
Matt, I would absolutely watch it. There has hardly been an ep so far this season with so little backstory required.
