    I know you don't like that Russell commissioned Steven with the Doctor-lite in Series 3, but if it helps, he was originally supposed to do the Dalek two-parter. He "messed them around" and took the Doctor-lite to make up for it. It was his own fault, really. Fair play to Helen, writing a two-part Dalek story with an unreasonable deadline is ridiculous. The story was never gonna be great, but she still managed to produce something of note. I'm so glad Steven did take the Doctor-lite tho. I'm not hard for Blink like others, but it is pretty great.

    Credit to Moffat for creating one of the only monsters in new who that have become as iconic as the Daleks, Cyberman and Master. I just wish the show used its other new villains more. I get that the Silence were wrapped up in 11's arc so it would be weird if we saw them post Time of the Dr and as much as I love them the Vashta Nerada are about as gimmicky as the angels and only work in certain settings. But I think the Boneless have a lot of potential that we're missing out on.

    I always wanted to know what would happen if you just threw a blanket over one of them. Would they be able to move, since we're technically not looking at them? Because then we could get a real sense of how they move, and how fast they really are. And if things get really bad, you can just try and poke a hole in the blanket, so that you will see part of them, and they'll freeze.

Maybe the plot revolves around the Doctor planning a heist to steal the macguffin before the Angels do?

    2:30 my (2 sort of) fan theorys about the origins of the weeping angels is as follows: 1: the marble plague was a super weapon on Gehanna that got out of control(it’s likely that it is a creation of the gehannan’s seeing that the 12 doctor told the last survivors were there race did wrong implying that they have something to do with the marble storm) 2: the weeping angels were a super weapon created by a extinct(pre space travel) race that were at war, & the weeping angels were genetically modified soldiers that went Insane & reverted back to there primal instincts to survive & killed/turned everyone(they were whether or not they have the ability to turn any image of them into an angel or they somehow evolved that is up to you cause 🎶I can’t decide🎶 But then eventually a ship came to the planet most angels were either already dead or on deaths door when an opportunity arose(at this point let’s just say they have become as intelligent as there creators) they hitched a ride on the ship & when they got desperate enough they killed the entire crew. Over(a very short) time they figured out the ships basic controls & crashed & the nearest populated planet & the rest is history p.s the is still a lot of mystery in this story like how they developed time travel powers & telekinetic powers & the rest, hope you like it😁

    A strange piece of angel media that I don't think anyone will find. However I remember taking part in an immersive performance of a weeping angel adventure. It started off as a museum about a crashed boat called the elysium then soldiers barged in that the doctor had sent and then matt Smith appeared on various laptops on Skype calls to help you and have banter. They recreated the corridor scene from forest of the dead and still to this day i have no idea how, it terrifies me cause they were real stone statue props no costumes. Then after being sent back in time to the designing of the elysium you save the day and get a 'personal' letter from the 11th doctor. Certainly strange but it was rather excellent, I'd still enjoy it if I did it now

    i think, to be fair, one of the reasons flesh and stone is disappointing is because the new gimmick set up in it -an image of an angel becomes an angel -isn't solved in an imaginative way to be honest. Amy trying to get away from the Angels without being able to open her eyes is REALLY scary, but it's undercut by how easily she escapes the situation. The only way to get rid of an angel is apparently to have a crack in space and time or something of the like in handy and make sure they end up in it. That kind of hard-to-defeat position makes it really difficult for follow-up writers to give the characters anything to fend off the angels something -it shouldn't be to foolproof or easy to fend of angels to be sure, but there SHOULD be a solution less brute force than a crack in space and time. Like, maybe an image of an angel doesn't become an angel after all if you don't think about it too much, but the more scared you are of the angels (and consequently think about them), the easier it is for them to manifest.

    It’s the middle of the night, you wake up in your bed feeling as though someone or something is watching you. You look around and see no one else at all. The only other thing in the room is an old painting of a forest, it looked almost as though there was a figure in the trees. You could’ve swarm in the past the painting was empty. You switch the light on only for it to quickly flicker off. You try again to turn it on but it won’t light up, maybe the power has gone out you think. You turn and realise the figure you saw in the painting is now more visible, it’s a statue. Was it just your Imagination or had it moved. You turn to pick up a lighter when suddenly you feel a chill in the room. There’s a breeze but your windows are all shut the breeze is from behind you, from the painting. You spark up the lighter and see that there is now a stone hand reaching out of the painting. The small flame gets blown out by the breeze and in the darkness you feel a touch more cold than ice, a touch that goes right through you. Then you’re blinded by a flash of lightning and deafened by the sound of rain and waves. You feel your body become submerged in icy water as the waves crash all around you. All alone in the stormy ocean You sink under the waves out of shock.

    My theory is that the Angels began at the end of the universe and spread backwards in time. When you get sent back in time, you remember what an Angel looks like, and an image of an Angel becomes an Angel. Repeat this process and they infiltrate themselves through history. That explains how they ended up on 21st century Earth without a spaceship and why they appear so soon after the Big Bang.

There's nothing else you can do with them which isn't a repeat of the same story. The one time they tried doing something different it didn't really work and played like a cheesy monster movie. I love them and it's my favourite story but I never wanna see them come back. The Boneless on the other hand....

    @@SamyulDavis It's actually a really interesting situation: in pre-NuWho book _"Christmas on a Rational Planet"_ we are shown "Men of Stone" from the universe before ours that cared for the ancient pandimensional mammoths. In the post-NuWho story _"Cobweb and Ivory,"_ the "Men of Stone" reappear as a young Grandfather Paradox finds an "alter-time realm" where they fled with their Mammoth memorabilia, with it being referenced that they've been forced to evolve in order to survive the new laws of physics and are now only able to move when not being observed. Basically, Faction Paradox retconned the pre-universe's "Men of Stone" from _Christmas on a Rational Planet,_ which *predated* _Blink,_ into being the Weeping Angels' direct ancestors. I'm not ashamed to say this ended up inspiring my own story because I'm fandom and this whole story and situation is bonkers.

    With everything that's been said here, I think the FP Weeping Angel story might be even funnier. Lawrence Miles wrote _Christmas on a Rational Planet,_ the pre-Blink story that featured the pre-universe's "Men of Stone." _Cobweb and Ivory,_ the post-Blink story that retroactively made the Men of Stone the ancestors of the Weeping Angels, was not written by Miles. So you could, if you so wished, spin it that the author of CAI wanted to stick it to Miles in some subtle way for whatever reason and did it by retconning one of Miles own creations into being the beta test for the greatest success of his bitterly despised nemesis, Moffat. I kinda really like that being the reason, it's so petty it's kinda funny. But whatever the reason may be, it doesn't change that _Christmas on a Rational Planet_ and _Cobweb and Ivory_ together form a cohesive, if vague, origin for the Lonely Assassins.

    While they peaked in Blink, I liked what they did in The Time of The Angels and Village of The Angels (besides that one death scene, they have been shown REPEATEDLY to have sent people back more than once 🙄) but seeing them move is what ruined them for me (it didn't make sense they moved so slow despite having been shown to move like lightning earlier and when they were weaker along with still looking like stone which is stated to ONLY happen when looked at and the atrocious The Angels Take Manhattan.

    Personally the Weeping Angels are by far my favourite. Bringing them back just like the Daleks and Cybermen isn't gonna ruin the Angels, it's about keeping them as they are. If you add a new ability to them then yes they will stop to be interesting, But keep as they are now and play with just that, we all know a old house with Weeping Angels works just fine, and a Graveyard. There are countless ideas you could do with them.

    The Angels feel like they should've been a one-off villain, like the Midnight Entity or the Vashta Nerada. That's not to say they never should've come back and that I don't want to see another Angel story, but I always felt that _Blink_ was supposed to be their only appearance, but Moffat decided they should probably come back.

    imagine there was nothing after blink for a moment imagine the statue of angelty never happened, imagine the overuse of angels never happened and angel fatigue didnt happen for 1 moment no new stories, no overuse now imagine class still happened the way it did, the hype for the ending and the droves of fans that would of flocked to it just for that ending would of made it the angels appear in doctor who and are never seen again only to appear in a spinoff and where we can find out more about them more naturally instead of being destroyed by there very creator through overuse, a singular creature could of made the series a success because fans of the angels would actually want to know more but no, its like the daleks cybermen and master today, they are overused but under utilised and the fact is the daleks have never never been better than in the early days of david whittaker in fact the stories are copied today victory of the daleks is basically power of the daleks and evolution is evil the angels will return everything does but whether they are used right is another matter

    Honestly, I do think angels take Manhattan was good, except for the whole Statue of Liberty thing, and it did a good job of showing that they were intelligent and not just freaky scavengers. But other than that I think yeah, the episodes in series 5 weren’t that great and the concepts introduced weren’t even used effectively. Also even if the writers hadn’t overused them, the twist at the end of class wasn’t satisfying
