to be 33 years old and actually quite scared of the Weeping Angels?

In my defense, I think its more the idea of them...

51 and scared witless. DH 54 was not much better. dD 16 seemed to cope!

Wept buckets at the end of Amy and Rory though......

[marjproops]

Ooh, ooh, just remembered just as scary....the Trickster in sarahJane adventures. and the Silence were well scary too.

The brilliance of Dr Who is the abundance of scary monsters designed to scare children AND adults!!!!

Someone rang our doorbell whilst we we watching it. We are getting the ceiling fixed tomorrow.

Right, today I checked, there are currently no angel statues in our church graveyard, should amy now appear I'll know to back away while keeping my eye on it...

However, I thought in the orginal one, Dr Who defeated them by making htem look at each other so they are frozen as statues, not able to move or do anything - in this episode there were several times when the angels were able to see each other's faces and yet when the people looked away they could still move

Not only that, but when Amy turned her back on the final angel and was taken, both the Doctor and River were still looking at it so how did it move?

[AnathemaDevice]

Pixel I think the Doctor was looking at Amy, and River looked away as she knew that Amy wanted to go.

If you locked the Weeping Angels in a room with the Vashta Nerada, would it defeat them both? Assuming the Vashta Metadata can see in the dark, the Angels would be being watched so they couldn't move, but the Vashta Metadata wouldn't be able to feed from them as they're made of stone.

I realise that I may be thinking about how to defeat fictional monsters a little too much...

[AnathemaDevice]

That should say Nerada in the last post. Not Metadata. Stupid phone.

i am older than 41 and they give me the heebie jeebies
everything about dr who has terrified me since i started watching it in the sixties. the zarbies, the green sludge stuff, the original cybermen made out of boxes and corrugated tubes.
i watched it all from behind the sofa and i still do.

[KenLeeeeeee]

Voldemort is positively cuddly by comparison - I agree!!

I'm 28 & the bastard things scare me shitless.

[CarpeJugulum]

Just watched the Angels episode. Had to pause for a break and a packet of tissues.

I know there is a new companion coming (her that was turned into a Dalek) but will there be male eye candy? We had Rose's boyfriend (whose name escapes me) then Rory... so anyone else coming?

[NellyBluth]

Good point, Carpe. Matt Smith is attractive in his own peculiar way, but you can't ogle the Doctor. You just can't. I love DT, but I could never ogle him as the Doctor. Rory, on the other hand, has been increasingly lovely.

[aldiwhore]

Oh dear, I've been ogling the Doctor for years!!

[cakebot]

That Vashta Nerada are the most terrifying things! I didn't really think the Angels were THAT scary in Blink, I don't know why, but this time, I was terrified! DT definately more attractive Scottish with stubble. Didn't really get the appeal when he was The Doctor!

[CarpeJugulum]

DT is MY Doctor Who (I was terrified as a child and banned from watching by a PFB mother) and he was everything a Doctor should be.

Matt Smith is a bit too un-ragey for me, but watchable. It's the relationship the Doctor has with the male eyecandy companions that I find amusing.

Hope we get one this time round...
