A sort of brilliance.
30 April 2011
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS: About the only part I disagree with is that the Silence, which are a frightening image anyway, are scarier than the Weeping Angels. While the Silence can effectively be invisible by making you forget you saw them, there's just something about seeing something completely stone suddenly jump while you blink that would be completely unnerving. The Silence basically exist beyond consciousness, but the Angels....if any statue can be one, is there anywhere that's really safe? I have to hand it to Moffat, though. How could the Silence, only knowing technology up to 1969, know what a video phone is, and how could they have anticipated the moon landing being their downfall? They would have no knowledge of time travel, nor would they even begin to predict that a cell phone would have that capacity. Ever since the original series, there has been talk about the Doctor choosing young ladies as companions and the subtle implication of what that could mean. To have it even remotely suggested that The Doctor and Amy slept together is really, really interesting as, in the previous series, we already know exactly what he'd do if presented with that idea....go and get Rory. However, the question does arise.... How could the little girl have the ability to regenerate?
