does the rest of the episode somehow make the crap cinemtography better or something

Earlier in the episode, the angels don't really move much at all and they just look like statues (as they're supposed to). The tension mounts as the characters learn the true nature of the angels, even after being freaked out about them beforehand. We also get little glimpses of what the angels are capable of, but nothing super cinematic or exciting. All in all, the episode itself is really good but the angels as DW monsters are kind of overrated (mostly due to the fandom)

i meant the medicine

You drank rubbing alcohol? eww

People still act like they're scary. Blink was not terribly interesting a concept (though still basically okay), but the Time of Angels two-parter just made them ****ing cheesy by the time we started to actually see them move.

Also, the Statue of Liberty is made of bronze, not stone.

Maybe, but I thought he stopped going on fb for the eighteenth time because of some poorly written status or w/e

After extensive research using this site's terrible search, I have found only two posts with me mentioning staying off of fb.

i had my first sip of alcohol, things were bound to go wrong

Why would anyone want to drink alcohol anyway?

[Kreis]

because it's cool.

[Adrexus]

Exactly. Nothing makes me feel more like a philosopher than having a glass of port in the evening. Not that philosophers are cool, mind you.

[Ignika]

Philosophers are so f*cking cool. Their wisdom knows no bounds, and it increases tenfold when accompanied by a long silver mane of MANLINESS.

What Kreis Said. :)

Aren't you a good little parrot?

[Spookz]

Also, the Statue of Liberty is made of bronze copper, not stone.

Fixed that for you.

[The Admiral]

Fixed that for you.

Fair point. Still not stone, meaning that the plot line in question (since it revolved around the idea that the Statue of Liberty is stone, when it's actually metal) is not consistent with itself.

[Kreis]

I just googled it, and I can't find anything on statues having to be made of stone in order to turn into weeping angels.

[Gelatino95]

Yeah, I don't think stone is a requirement. But still, it seemed like some pointless cinematic thing when the statue of liberty turned into an angel. If I remember correctly, it didn't serve any purpose in the plot whatsoever.

The only redeeming factor about that episode is that Amy and Rory finally left. I actually liked Rory, but not Amy.

You're not allowed to criticize Dr. Who, that's why.

[Josiah]

Y'know, I've never watched Doctor Who. I can't say I feel like I'm missing out.

[The Admiral]

Yeah, I don't think stone is a requirement.

I remember otherwise -- but if I didn't, why would I be bringing it up? (This may also just be that it never happened otherwise and, well, poor reception to how the Angels were noticeably different just by the second episode, with especially that "An image of an Angel is itself an Angel" seeming really goddamned contrived.)

But still, it seemed like some pointless cinematic thing when the statue of liberty turned into an angel. If I remember correctly, it didn't serve any purpose in the plot whatsoever.

It clearly was to make it seem like ~the earth was in more danger oh noes~ because apparently the audience of Doctor Who regularly forgets what they're watching.

That's sacred cow status for ya.

Not really. A few of the episodes are pretty okay, but that's mostly the older portions of the series. Also, science fiction is... well, a troubled genre on whole.

[Gelatino95]

I suggest you watch the first four seasons of the new series and then stop

Then you won't be missing out

[Street Comedy]

I could never really get into Dr. Who, is it really that meh?

[Geekachu]

I could never really get into Dr. Who, is it really that meh?

I'd say so

Next question

[Jb]

I actually find Top Gear more overrated than Doctor Who.

[Kreis]

I find game of thrones the most overrated show ever.

[Pesky Persian]

I don't think we can be friends anymore.

We only went on for it for about nine million pages, you know.

Honestly, I don't like much TV in general.
