    The Weeping Angels are just so iconic. I remember when I was a kid, my friends and I would play games about them and point out every statue hoping it wasn’t an angel. Great monsters

      Ever been to Newcastle in the North East?
      There’s a monument there with an angel statue and maybe I’m paranoid, but I swear it in a different position each time….. 😂

    The fact that the Angels could be frozen by looking at each other is a huge plot hole.
    Hunting/mating/strategizing/strolling in an area with another angel present, would be a monstrous risk of accidentally looking at each other. Especially considering their immense speed requires good situational awareness.

      Not really, there's a reason they cover their eyes when not actively pursuing prey, they will sit and wait for something to walk by and then strike when they get too close, like a snake

      They are literally called Weeping Angels because they’re always covering their eyes to avoid looking at each other.
      It’s a TV. They’re just TV monsters. We can only take this so far.
      I don’t think Weeping Angels have sex. But blindfolds exist. I think they could still figure it out.

      I don’t know if I think those are really issues, i think it’s what makes them interesting, because ‘quantum locking’ would make those things different and concordantly the angels don’t do them. I think that’s why they are called the lonely assassins and why they’re not really a social species, strategising together, more like vultures just sort of out for themselves and occasionally trying to achieve the same goal. We don’t know how they reproduce (if they even do in a traditional sense) beyond ‘that which holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel, so this may not be a concern for them and I don’t think they have the desire for leisure through eg strolling. How they evolved would be interesting of course since it’s such a intriguing set up, I’ve always liked to hypothesis a link with the gorgons in the Sarah Jane adventures, perhaps a coevolutionary arms race between the parasitic gorgons and the weeping angels, given both have links to transforming into stone and the requirement not to look at them. Perhaps the angles quantum locking themselves when observed is a strategy to avoid a similar but worse effect when looked at by a gorgon. The angels can unfreeze when not observed, unlike a gorgon’s victim which remains stuck as stone forever. Perhaps they are from the same planet, or the same system, and the two species were exposed to each other, with the gorgons parasitising the angels ancestor species in an extreme selection pressure. Quantum locking is so extreme an adaptation that it must have evolved in response to something similarly extreme. Perhaps it stops the gorgon from being able to use the angel as a host body, mimicking the effects of the gorgons turning their enemies to stone but protecting them from hosting the gorgon itself. Sorry for the ramble, but the angels are so interesting from a theoretical evolutionary standpoint

    Okay, I've never seen any Doctor Who, but that last scene where she takes a few steps and her shadow moves to reveal a Weeping Angel who had uncovered its eyes?

    The weeping angels were so cool. I’m surprised there isn’t a horror movie about the weeping angels. As they feel so real to the point that there is no escaping from them. You blink you die to turn your back to them you die. Sounds like a great horror movie to me. I know copy right. But I see think the weeping angels solo movie would be a great film. 👍🏻

      Imagine being sent back to a time with no healthcare, sanitation, with deadly diseases that we have eradicated in the modern day. Losing all you've ever known and loved. Your family never knowing if you died or just abandoned them. Plus they do kill people in some fairly brutal ways (ripping out someone's central nervous system and then using that to access their memories and mimic their voice as a lure and as psychological torture.
