I HAD TO MAKE A GIF BECAUSE I COULDN’T FIND ONE
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW THIS
I JUST

You now realize that the reason that the angels didn’t get her here is because THE CAMERA COUNTED AS SOMEONE WATCHING THEM.

And the only time the angels moved was when sally blocked them from the view of the camera

This episode breaks the fourth wall in more ways than one.  This shows that even the audience can be part of a Doctor Who episode.  Whovians, you’ve always wanted to be in an episode.  ”Blink” was the first.  You also hear the Doctor talking to you about the statues.  The “Don’t Blink” speech we know by heart.  And…what about the angel in the window?  If Sally wasn’t looking at that one, then why didn’t it move?

Because we were watching it.

Reason number 1234567 why this episode was better than any other weeping angel episode

The director of that episode was Hettie MacDonald, massively talented woman and winner of multiple awards.  Don’t lay “Blink”s amazingness on Moffat because most of it goes to her, especially the stuff at the meta-textual level you’re talking about here.

“With its robust skull, high maxilla, and prominent sagittal crest for the insertion of powerful temporalis muscle, the head of Aelurodon would have resembled the heads of the most predaceous among modern dogs, such as the Indian dhole and the African hunting dog, but would have been even more massive, bringing to mind modern hyenas as well.”

“Find a quiet spot. It may be in your garden, the living room when the rest of the household is asleep, or a quiet valley in a nearby forest. Even a city park or a rooftop will do. Ideally, any outdoor location is preferable to in-home working but, again, do what you can.”
