I absolutely loved this episode...which I didn't think I would because of the major lack of The Doctor. But I think it was a really well written episode.

Sounds good but I'm sad to hear there will be a lack of the Doctor. From the description it sounds similar to "The Girl in the Fireplace" with the protecting a girl from far away.

I really loved this episode, it was definitely one of my favourites of the season. It was so scary too!

I think Blink is a much better episode than Love & Monsters. It's a clever story, and was very well done. The few minutes of the Doctor you do get were very well used in the episode - unlike L&M, where I felt the Doctor's brief appearance was wasted. __________________

What I like about Blink, is that even though you might not actually see the Doctor all that much in the episode, he's still a big presence throughout it, unlike in Love & Monsters where you just saw a bit of him in the beginning and the end. With Love & Monsters, I tend to forget I'm actually watching Doctor Who, but with Blink, that was never the case for me.

I think, unlike L&M, you actually do see a lot of the Doctor throughout the ep, but it's all the same few minutes of video, which I thought was very clever.
Another very clever idea was the Weeping Angels. They're simple to explain and cheap to film without any special effects, but they're also very creepy. I'm sure it's even creepier in Europe if you happen to live in a city with lots of life-like statues in public areas ... it's not something you see much in North America, but I've been to Rome loads of times and you can't turn a corner without running into a statue staring back at you. __________________

Oh and loved the Doctor saying 'timey-wimey' Rachel, the weeping angels are scary creatures for sure. I don't look at statues the same way I did before watching Blink __________________

I liked this episode, it was very clever and downright scary, Sally was a good character, Larry reminds me of my brother too much, but other than that he was okay, I loved Billy, it made me laugh when I found out he's in Hotel Babylon he's great on that too.

I really liked this episode despite the focus on Sally rather than The Doctor and Martha. Especially liked how they dealt with the problems of time travel and influencing the timeline - though I have my doubts about Billy and Kathy being able to resist seeing Sally ahead of schedule. Patience and following directions are not strong suits of the human race in general, IMO.
