Doctor Who/Headscratchers/Series 3: Difference between revisions

*** It could also possibly be that the Angels are paranoid and have a small degree of control of being quantum-locked. In [[Doctor Who/Recap/S31 E05 Flesh and Stone|series 5]] Amy had to walk through a portion of a forest on the Byzantium with angels with her eyes shut. They didn't move because they thought she could see them.

** In Blink, at least, the angels pretty definitively treat the camera as an 'observer'. They only move when they're not visible to either the characters or to the Camera. Moving their hands only when Sally passes between them and the camera during the scene where she gets the key is one example. A much more obvious one is when they're rocking the TARDIS, with Sally and whats-his-face inside it, back and forth. The light continues to blink on and off, and the TARDIS only moves while the light is off. You can kind of see the TARDIS moving, because you can still see the backlit windows and 'Police Box' text. But when the light blinks on, they STILL freeze solid into stone. There's a TARDIS side between each angel and everything else with eyes; quite literally the only thing present that could 'lock' them when the light comes on is the Camera.

** This could be WMG, but who's to say that the Doctor didn't go back to Wester Drumlins after getting his TARDIS back in 1969 and drop off The Lonely Assassines in a black hole or in the perma-day of a planet tidally locked to its star?

*** This is assuming that these highly dangerous, capable, and nigh unstoppable assassins don't have the basic power of seeing in the dark. And they weren't in an impound lot, they were in the basement of the creepy house no one went to that's had all those disappearances. That should keep people away for a while and maybe the Doctor puts a perception filter on them to keep people from moving them.

 

* In one of the webisodes, Jack himself raised the question of how the Angels would deal with his immortality. He can just ''live'' his way to the point where he was sent into the past. Heck, he might even be able to stop them, causing a paradox.
