Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Shame that Moffat wasn't mindful of their impact being diluted by repetition and the use of larger numbers of them. Kind of like how Dracula is riveting and macabre, but in a whole movie full of vampires they just become cannon fodder for the protagonists .

Yeah, Matt, I didn't love their second appearance either. Just not the same.

Plus, Moffat in series 5 randomly added all that weird crap to what the Angels could and couldn't do. "Look at them - but don't look at their eyes!" "Now just pretend to look at them with your eyes closed because that works just as well!"
But Blink is so much scary fun. Luckily I've never been afraid of statues so it didn't do long term damage, but the night I watched Blink I was super freaked out. I kept thinking, "How can this be a children's show in the UK?"

I would pay good money for a Weeping Angel statue for my garden. I would plant poison plants all around it....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Theo is me. I have the nasty plant list (from the university garden in the video game Oblivion) all ready to go.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I want two Weeping Angels for our garden - to position them facing each other. Lots of pretty flowering plants nearby and a bench. So many people would think it lovely. And a few would know what they were.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would totally put Weeping Angel statues in my garden. There's a market here! Get on it, BBC!

Damn, there used to be a store in Boston that would have been able to do that (Gargoyles, Grotesques and Chimeras I think was the name), but they went out of business a few years ago (or the owner decided to move on, since it was one of those stores you wondered how it had been around as long as it had been - I bought more than a couple of presents for folks there).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I'm certain someone posted a link at one point for a place that was selling those. You could always get one of these, although I suspect they won't hold up well outdoors.
