I spend a lot of time having the attention span to relise when something doesnt add up. They could have looked over it a couple times before sending it out to air.

Divine Injustice ThPriestess Ambril Tyler Smith Yeah what about the hard core older fans who are trying to piece together what the heck is going on. That's not very nice to project it to a younger audience when the show has been going on for like 50years, you should aslo give the older fan something to piece together. gonk COMPLETELY not to do with the ep, just want backstory on your Avi: Did your mamma lie to your daddy when she said your grandma was the only one in the family PG? Or is your daddy that strange creation of RTD formed by hand in jar + Donna + weirdness + possible smoking of Who Hash rofl Either way, cool Avi! And back to topic, I've been watching DW since 1983, and have seen eps of all 11 Doctors. As far as plot holes go, they are pretty universal throughout the history of the show, so I figure SM, RTD, JNT, etc. have no monopoly on WTF? I don't spend a lot of time trying to pick it apart. I judge an episode by wheter or not I like it. So--like it or not?Agreed. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. People only nitpick when their attention is significantly disengaged from the story they're watching-enough for them to cast around with their mind for some other diversion to settle on. Blink itself was chock full of nonsensicalness back when it aired but, and this is important, the story was significantly better and so people were more willing to let it slide. This...less so, I feel. I applaud Moffat for trying to give the fans what they wanted, but he's only really undermined himself by trying to flesh out creatures as necessarily ambiguous as the Weeping Angels. Every time you use them, you're only going to diminish what made them great in the first place. And that's just the sad truth of the matter, I feel.

I thoroughly loved this episode and didn't even want to stop and think about ridiculousness or plot holes like I have sometimes.

@Jettrick
I could not agree more. I have sat down half way through a 4th Dr story and been totaly sucked in and been amazingly happy with it but I will look it up to find out the plot I had missed only to find out it was riddled with plot holes and errors. (Easy explained of course) The point is, I had not noticed them. So, I think you made a very good point.
