Blink is a pretty good episode, but I can never get over the sheer amount of plot holes and inconsistencies in it. Still a great episode but man...


I guess I somehow manage to ignore most of them, because I'm having a hard time thinking of them.

Thinking of best episodes I was reminded of the episode that built me up the most just to let me down. Listen.

Mostly the insane speed fluctuations of the angels (they are supposedly extremely fast, but when the characters are being chased they are really slow all of the sudden) and the ending which I find a hard time understanding (why do the angels freeze every time the light shines when nothing is looking at them? can the angels control the light? why is the doctor so confident that the light will stay on? why is there even electricity in the first place in an abandoned house?)

I think there were a few more things that pop up along the way (weird timeline things excluded), but its been a while since I've actually seen the episode. Like I said, its still great, its just a little hard for me to take completely seriously when the whole gimmick of the angels only works when its convenient for the plot.

you're right that they don't seem consistent with how fast they move, how them seeing each other is sowhat an issue yet not always (How they can move so close together without seeing each other)

though I still much preffered what they did with the weeping angels here than what they did with them in the later episodes.
