Time of the Angels

Tweet

What did everyone think of last week's episode? I thought it was another great episode, looked even better after the flawed Victory of the Daleks last week. We got the return of River Song, and the Blink angels, who are much more powerful this time around. The episode just seemed to click, from the very unWho start (I really wondered if I was watching the right show until I saw River) to finding out museums are how the Doctor keeps score, to well everything. I liked that we got an action scene and then went to 12,000 years later. We haven't had as much time travel logic with the new Who, I remember an episode of City of Death with Baker where part of the solution involved the Doctor going back in time to have Picasso (I think) make fake paintings to trick the bad guy. He has a time machine people, why isn't time travel logic used a wee bit more? This was also a pretty funny episode, I especially loved the Doctor asking where the landing sound was and imitating it. They also explained years and years of Dr Who logic in a few sentences, the TARDIS doesn't fly straight and safely, because using the stabilizers wouldn't be any fun, and the noise is because the breaks are on and he thinks the sound is brilliant. The Weeping Angels were once again creepy, and I like that they came back. A bit sad that River is in another episode where the big creepy monster takes the voice of a dead person to communicate, it's a bit of a repeat of the Library story, but oh well. Overall a great episode I felt, and I can't wait to see part two in two days.
