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?
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I guess I was in the minority that I didn't find the angels creepy.
At least not at first, not until they showed their teeth .

Dude, they're statues that move when you're not looking. What could be scarier than that ?

I felt sorry for them. I thought they were weeping !

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not sure why I never felt sorry for them. Good music cues, perhaps.
Fiona, is there a state for them such as permanent stone? I thought it was just as long as they were looked at. Like, a dark room might cure them.
I should just be glad I didn't dream about them and leave it be.

Oh, wait--if they have touched each other...what would that mean? That's why they're permanent stone?

ita, I can't remember the details exactly, but the Doctor says something along the lines of that if they see each other they die, that's why they usually cover their faces . But I'm probably rewatching tonight, so I'll pay extra attention to that bit.
