OK.. not much spoiler...
But damn... I'm sure glad I don't have a lot of statuary in this town!
That's some GOOD television, this episode is...
Didn't hurt that Sally Sparrow was pretty darn cute!
I'm still a little bitter about losing Rose from the show. I'll get over it... but it's hard to improve on Billie Piper...

eh, you just like those docklands Blonde lassies. The new collection of companionettes is rather easy on the eyes too.

This was a very good episode, I thought they handled the whole time travel thing pretty well. It's not always easy to carry it off.

I watched this episode several weeks ago. The statues were pretty creepy. If I remember, didn't it end with them showing all the various statues all over the city? Pretty interesting way to end it. The time travel stuff was well done, especially how Sally gave The Doctor the transcript at the end. I try not to think about that stuff too much. It gives me a headache.

. ..that was the BEST Doctor Who episode (for the new series anyway) EVER. . . creepy and eerie. . .course the Doctor wasn't in most of it really. . .
I hope they have future episodes as good. . .
P.S. Yes I made a mistake last week and that wasn't the Season Finale for Doctor WHo (I blame a faulty TV guide for that).

I had my fingers crossed that they'd choose Carey Mulligan as the next companion. Oh, well.
They've discovered the secret to making the new doctor Who enjoyable: Keep Tennant off the screen.

It gets even better from this episode on. Trust me. You will learn about The Face of Bow in the end.
Cheers!

I agree with everyone who said DAMNATION THAT IS GOOD TELEVISION!
Cuz it was. Creepiest thing I have seen on TV since ... must resist Cheney joke ... since Sapphire & Steel!
That one put me AND the kids I was showing it to behind the sofa -- particularly impressive as our sofa is against a wall!
The kids who saw it were scared ... er, witless ... and to this day all I have to do is put my hands to my face and they freak out. If we spotted one of those statues in a cemetary I do believe they would completely lose it.
Traumatising the young. It's fun!!!
Speaking of which, congrats to writer of "Blink" Steven Moffat for his SECOND Hugo award (for last season's "Girl in the Fireplace"). Blink may well net him a third, though at least he has some competition (Paul Cornell).

...In what has got to be one of the lamest ways of dismissing a character ever.
"Oh, by the way, I've never mentioned this before about me and this is completely out of context and character, but I thought you should know as a sort of a wrap up since my character has been played as little more than a wasted plot device thus far and you'll probably never see me again..."
