most of fandom calls them Doctor!Lite episodes.
this episode is probably my favorite from season 3. this is also where it really picked up for me. i wasn't as thrilled with the Family of Blood/Human Nature eps as everyone else was.

I was just about to comment on the wrongness of first cinnamon sticks, and now Oreo's pizza.
I never cared for that last scene with the contrived tension and Sally not answering Larry for whatever reason. I wish there was more of a moment when Larry stopped transcribing, too.

"Love and Monsters", and then Torchwood has one. Sort of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's one of the most successful anything eps of the series.
I've tricked my new phone out Who-style. It unfolds, see, to reveal a full little keyboard. So of course it's called TARDIS on my Bluetooth network, and plays the (2005) theme music as the generic ring tone. Currently the Tardis whoop is the text message announcement. I have the Exterminate! and the Don't even blink! on there...just in case. Actually, the BBC page with sounds is pretty cool--even has "Are you my mummy?" which was my previously most crept out Who moment.

Most definitely - one of my favorite eps, period.
I want ita's phone.
The coolest thing I learned about Blink in the Confidential is that the statues were all actors in make-up/prosthetics.

Damn, good ep. Really brilliant, in spite of and perhaps because of the plot/logic holes that had lanterns hung on them (timey wimey things).
I'd love to see Sally back again, although it might upset the ending they had with her getting "past" the Doctor and finally opening herself up to Larry.
The flashes on the angel's faces as Sally and Larry are scrambling to get inside the Tardis... I knew what to expect, knew they'd be safe, and I was still clutching the arms of the chair.
And the end flashing on all the public statuary... brilliant. And even moreso since this is a "kids" show and they've just scarred kids for life. I love it!
