Oh fuck.. OH FUCK.. NO NO NO I NEED TO SLEEP TONIGHT
OH SHIT NIGGER DONT BLINK

I agree these monsters are pretty scary but moffet is really being a dick ever since he took over the show.HURR DIS AM MY MONSTER WELL SCARY I MADE IT SO IT GETS TOP PRIORITY A 2-PARTER RIGHT BANG AT THE BEGINING OF THE SERIES CAUSE IM THE BIG CHEESE NOW MOTHERFUCKER
>>57298925
What the hell is this, and is it vidya?
>>57298925I have to agree, but I will point out that Davies shoehorned in a lot of bullshit of his own.
I don't know this, we will see
>>57299022are you my mummy?
>>57298925don't forget about the part where he makes his monsters replicate themselves every time you see them on screen; have full control over electronics systems and lighting equipment AND posses people when you look into their eyes.It's like playing games with that one kid on the playground who would make his character overpowered as fuck or make up his own rules.
>>57299073to be honest, the biggest issue i had with Davies was that he overplayed the season finales way too much. It was always something uber epic like OH THE UNIVERSE IS ABOUT TO END OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT or THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW I DIED BUT ACTUALLY I DONT DIE AND THIS HAPPENS FOR THREE SERIES IN A ROW.
What is this ? No , really what is it ?
>>57299275I prefer Moffat for those reasons tbh. I see no problem with the two parter of the Angels because I'm biased: I fucking LOVED blink
>>57299297your worst nightmare
dont worry, heimeraptor will fix this
>>57299270brb 1960
WOOO EEEE YYOOUUUUUWOOO EEEE YYYOOOOUUUUWOOO EEE YOUU WOO EEE YOUU EEE YOOUU
It's not that scary you Whofags.
>>57299297You know this is video game related actually because they're bringing out an episodic video game for this show.Also it's FREE so fucking hell /v/ is gonna be all over this shit.
According to Dr.Who the military stops advancing technologically now and in the 51st Century they still use P90's.
As much as I really do appreciate a good Doctor Who thread, this still isn't /v/ related. Sorry.
>>57299591and inferior body armor, THEY ARE ON A GODDAMN ALIEN PLANET
Add something like this to STALKER and everyone will shit a million bricks.KEEP YOUR SIGHTS ON THAT MUTANT
More like "Who" is this, amirite?
>>57299555It's supposed to be an adventure game, so I imagine the walkthrough will read:Dr. Who: Episode 1: GUESS WHOS BACK AGAIN FOR LIKE THE BILLIONTH TIME IT RHYMES WITH MALEK:Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____Use Sonic Screwdriver on ____

>>57299707There's also some SNEAKAN
>>57299707Good god! Use spoiler tags, man!
>>57299676I actually wonder why something like that isn't used in FPS horror games. Horrible monster that requires you to see it at all times or it'll rip your face off in a blink?Finally get to a corner to only find it's RIGHT BEHIND YOU???????
>>57299536Weeping Angels-Are completely silent-Fast as hell-Will tear your shit up the second you blinkAdmit it, if you ever encountered one you'd shit yourself.
>>57299867Only if they suddenly become powerless as fuck at the final battle only able to move an inch at a time.Also, why not blink with just one eye?
those anglesTHOSE FUCKING ANGELS
>>57300026>angles
>>57299970Amy came up with the fucking piss easy solution though. Just blink one eye at a time, or if there's 2 of you take it in turns and go at it with a hammer.
>>57299970Actually from the clips I saw all they do is shake your phonebooth if you're in it.I didn't see any shit getting teared apart.
>>57298974GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME
This was in a thread earlier and I torrented this episode.I have never seen Dr.Who. Should I watch this episode?
>>57299989>Also, why not blink with just one eye?You just blew my mind.
>>57299989>Also, why not blink with just one eye?>blink with just one eye?>blink>one eyeTHERE'S A FUCKING WORD FOR THAT ALREADY IT'S CALLED WINKING
>>57300186
>>57300125you can't smash them; they may take the physical manifestation of stone when observed, but they are actually beings that exist on a quantum level and cannot be smashed just like that.Shows how much of a newfag you are to sci-fi
>>57300149If you're talking about the 'Blink' episode, then yes, watch it. This one is a continuation of that.Also a good standalone episode is the one about the alien stealing people's voices, but fuck if I can remember the episode's name.
um guys
>>57300420
>>57300374Is Blink the one with the angel that OPs picture refers too?Something about angels creeps me out.
>>57300420ermm... ok.....<_<>_>
>>57300302 Why do the weeping angels in the cave degrade overtime? They must be actual stone for them to weather like that, ergo you can smash them with a hammer
>>57300420I don't get it
>>57300580Yeah, it was the first episode they featured in. Quality episode, and it stands alone perfectly. you won't need to have seen the rest of the series to appreciate it.
>>57298779>>57298887>>57298974>>57299158>>57299270FUCKING RUUUUN!

>>57300580No, 'Blink' is the episode the angles first appeared in the show. OP's picture is from the most recent episode of the current Doctor Who season where they make a reappearance.
>>57300580Blink is the episode that introduced the Angles, the episode that ran last Saturday and this one are a ywo parter featuring them.
>>57300580OP's pic is from the new episode, which involves the angels The first angel episode is, in my opinion, betterThe first angel episode is my favorite episode so far.
>>57300802They're antagonists, genius.
This thread is now vidya related.
>>57300868Agreed, I enjoyed the whole ripping of the vocal chords of the Private in the last episode though, shit was rather creepy.
Can anyone explain why they can't move when you're looking at them?
>>57300912OH MY GODHOW DID I NOT REALISE THIS BEFOREI DON'T EVEN HAVE A CAPS LOCK KEY AND I STILL FEEL THE NEED TO TYPE IN ALL-CAPS
>>57300420See the trick is to do the hokey pokey and then turn yourself about.That's what it's all about.
>>57300912PREPARE THE GENESIS DEVICE
>>57300859Ok thanks bro
>>57300912
>>57301078Some bullshit pseudoscience "oh hey it's quantum theory when you ain't making an observation they obey quantum physics when you are the waveform collapses"
>>57301078It's a quantum thing. They're locked in time when they're being observed.
>>57301041yeah that shit was creppy >The angel snapped my neck sir, hurt more than i thought sir.
>>57300912My face when I saw it.
>>57301112>Genesis DeviceYou mean Genesis Ark, amirite?
>>57300714it's because they have nothing to feed on you newfag. They explain it in the episode; the weeping angels feed on radiation, and they were degrading because they were starving with nothing to feed on for hundreds of years. When the ship crashed and caused the explosion of radiation they started to get more powerful again, which will be further explored in the second part of the episode that airs this week
>>57300714The weeping angels in the cave aren't 'True' weeping angels, they're ones created by the original, and are also slower.
>>57301350
>>57301357Actually they feed on potential time that they take from humans.
>>57301255Well written, I love Doctor Who but I can never shake off the amont of cheese it has, comes with the fact that it's a Saturday primetime show I suppose.
The Alfava were two headed beings. I can see why they outlawed self-marriage, divorce must have been rather mesOH GOD THE STATUES ONLY HAVE ONE HEAD
>implying this is what the military will look like in the 51st Century
>>57301112WE MUST PROTECT THE GENESIS ARK
>>57301481u mad Master?
>>57301484are you sure you're not confusing them with those other monsters from the first series? The one where Rose goes back in time to save her dad
>>57301439Actually no, they've been there for years without any source of food which cause them to degrade. They only started moving again becuase of radiation from the crashed ship, which is what they feed on (somehow).
>>57301788Nope, The Reapers simply kill everything as to 'heal' the rip in time, Angles do it to survive.
>>57301788Nope. Watch Blink again, it explains it there.
>>57301680That's an understatement!
>The amount of people who "Angles"
>>57301949well... fuck. You're right, but it mentions in this latest episode that they feed off radiation. I guess moffet wrote himself his own plothole. What a ponce.
Don't mind me, just leaving this here...
>>57302036He mad because he's back in the endless war.
>>57302194
meanwhile in the vidyas
No Karen Gillan? /v/ I'm disappoint.
>>57302194DON'T EVEN BLINK
>>57299867The librarians (big gorilla monsters) from Metro 2033 won't attack as long as you look at them.
>>57301550in the 51st century science becomes SCIENCE! and LOLRELIGION does what it always does, take an idea that worked long long ago, and stick with it regardless of any advances or evidence to the contrary.

>>57298779What I expected the Librairians in Metro 2033 to be like.I was disappointed.
>>57302559Bullshit, I can't see anything
>>57302141>>57301852They feed on energy as explained lots of times. Thats why the lights flicker and thats how they kill (normally)
>>57302044They're Americans]/spoiler]
The preview showed multiple "proper" Angels with wings, no doubt the decaying ones are gaining strength and repairing themselves.
>>57302916-1/10 lol
>>57300374The one where they're stuck on that ship thing.That's called Midnight. Shit was pretty awesome.
I'm so glad Moffat's taken over the series. Davies wrote such appallingly cheesy bullshit. The show is genuinely charming again.
I don't get it.
>>57303421See>>57300912
>>57303301Oh man, Midnight was terrifying.
>>57301680Yes I mad.
>>57303301Yeah, that's the one! 'Midnight'.Fuck that episode was awesome, it was the one that got me hooked initially. Too bad I rewatched it recently, otherwise I would've been torrenting it as I typed.
Note the preview featured The Doctor telling the clerics to fire with their eyes closed, it seems the Angels are vulnerable when moving.Their ability makes a lot more sense, see it and it's frozen but indestructable, can't see it it's super-fast and you can't aim at it.
>>57303868Enjoy your endless war fag.And the drumming.
>>57303378Doctor Who. The most recent episode, and the series 3 episode 'Blink'.The angel statue is an alien. It turns to stone whenever a living creature looks at it. When not bein observed, it's fast as hell and will try to zap you into the past so it can feed off of your "potential energy", the future existence you no longer have."You can't kill a stone. Course, a stone can't kill you either!Until you turn your back. And oh yes, it can."
>>57304119I'll be seeing you soon, faggot....
>>57302477I think ill be needing some more
What, is this the new Dr Who or what?
>>57304232Goddamnit, I've taken to calling the Hunter "The Master" in L4D
>>57304232remember when you got hit by that car, and got stuck in the 70's? yeah?that was me.-The Doctor
>>57304232I doubt it you blond faggot, I've got a new face and I'm buzy eating fish fingers and custard, and shagging a hot ginger Scottish lass.
>>57304350Yes.Also, /v/ = Doctor Who. i'm okay with this [spoiler/].
>>57304529Oh god, Life on Mars actually features The Master in human guise, and whole series is just another of The Doctor's dick-moves... OH GOD MY BRAIN IS FULL OF FUCK!!!
...
>>57304977Don't blink.
It's probably been said, But was the whole "the statues should have two heads thing" really meant to be a mystery in this episode? I've heard some people bragging that they figured it out before the doctor did. Fucking terry schaivo would have figured it out before he did!The second he said that the aliens who made the place had two heads i was like "but the statues have one head, oh well, script oversight i suppose. it is just a kids show" But nope, apparently it was some big mystery that a 900 year old scientist didn't notice.It's a kids show. It talks down to the audience like it's a kids show.BTW, the doctor and the group he's with will be safe within the first 30 seconds of the next episode. This show is more predictable and uses the "reset button" even more than star trek voyager.
>>57305120He only fucking told you that it'd work out at the end.
>>57305034oh god what will happen if i do my eyes are drying out
dr. who? seriously? this fucking shitty BBC chav show with horrible acting and dull plots?
>>57305120He shot the light ball thingy, it had a name that involved gravity, they all jump and fly in to ship ruins and the heavy angels get left behindshould take 7 seconds excluding flashback scene
>>57305234Just don't
I swear if I ever become rich, I'm going to buy one of the prop angels from the BBC. One of the ones with their head in their hands, put it in some dark corner of the guest room or something.Have fun not sleeping.
>>57305369DON'T LOOK INTO ITS EYESTHE EYES ARE THE DOORS TO THE SOUL
>>57305232Yeah, but it does even when he doesn't foreshadow it in a really hamfisted way. Way to eat up the last 60 seconds by having the doctor talk like yoda, moffat.
>>57305384they are real people bro, but i want to have one made
>>57305369Oops
>>57305120Perception filter.Not that it's any real excuse, it's sort of a deus ex machina for LOL THE DOCTOR DIDN'T NOTICE, but still, at least it's something. I guess.
>>57305384If you become rich, have it fucking remodeled. Have the statue possess a mechanism for it to be switched out so he goes to sleep.*Change* then there's a noise and he wakes up to-OH MY GOD
>>57305384>implying I want to stay at your house
>>57305384Considering the whole angel thing hinges on a fundamental misunderstanding of quantum mechanics, i would sleep soundly.Really, a conscious being observing something has no effect on quantum mechanics. The very light from their flashlights should be sufficient to freeze the angel. Looking at it makes no sense.
How to troll a Weeping Angel:1) Lead it on a chase.2) Go into Carnival3) Go into Hall of Mirrors4) ????5) Trollface!
>>57305540I can't believe they make a plot device for willing suspension of disbelief. At least Douglas Adams' "Somebody Else's Problem Field" was funny, and not over used to set up drama.
>>57305696That's why they cut the flashlights.
>>57305812
>>57305830Except not, because when amy was in the RV, the lights never went off and it all depended on her looking at it.THE DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT DOES NOT DEMONSTRATE THAT CONSCIOUS OBSERVATION CHANGES THE UNIVERSE! MERELY THAT THE LIGHT USED IN THE OBSERVATION DEFLECTS THE PARTICLES USED IN THE EXPERIMENT, CHANGING WHERE THEY LAND!
>>57305824They didn't introduce it just for this episode. The "perception filter" was in the first ep as well, that's how Prisoner Zero hid the spare room in Amy's house.
>>57305489Where did you hear that? I've seen decent costumes of them, but I'm certain the actual ones are static props. Not stone, admittedly, but definitely not actual people.
People who don't like Doctor Who don't understand it. Or Magnets
>>57305594>>57305696just have two of them, which switch out like the way the fireplace did when Christopher was visiting the lady in france.
>>57305978Not the guy you're talking to, but I've seen a "making of" video that demonstrated how they do the makeup for the Angels and shit. They're real people.
>>57305970Hence why i said Adams' version is superior because he never used it as a crutch. It was neat the first few times they used it, but now it's just getting stupid. The tardis does so many things to the minds of the people who ride in it, but it can't see through some common low tech (compared to time lords)?
>>57305824Yeah. It really is a "Somebody else's problem field." Doctor Who uses it a lot to handwave things. The TARDIS is supposed to have one, so nobody notices it, and the entrance to Torchwood also has one, so people wind up not paying attention to the elevator in the sidewalk, for example.It really is just a handwave.
>>57305978see>>57302194
>>57298779Angels are like Boos, they only move when you don't look at them
>>57305970It's been in the show countless times. The TARDIS has one, that's why the public never think anything of it. The emergency entrance to Torchwood Three had one, as did the Doctor's and Master's 'chameleon arc' fob watches.
>>57306072fuckin lol
>>57305970perception filter was also in Torchwood, and in several previous episodes before Matt and even before Tennant.>>57305812except that you will then have to contend with hundreds of reflective angels who continuously spawn from the mirrors.an object which contains the image of an angel itself becomes and angel.
>>57306098>>57306166Huh. Fair enough, thanks for that.I'd have to be really rich and get one commissioned then. Sounds like a plan...
Daleks vs Angels
>>57306316>except that you will then have to contend with hundreds of reflective angels who continuously spawn from the mirrors.OH FUCKING GOD
>>57298779/yawnYou know what was actually scary? Stargate Atlantis S03E06, "The Real World"
>>57306437Ah but if they're all looking at each other, they're fucked.
>>57306378Daleks.
anyone have Gmod? if so download the harmless companion cube, its awesome.
>>57306525Agreed, it's terrifying that people are paid to act that horribly.
>>57306437
>>57306316That is so retarded. I hate how this show doesn't even try to be scientific. Fucking green lantern is more scientific than this show.Before anyone says anything retarded, conforming to reality means that writers won't be able to just handwave everything that conflicts with their hackneyed plot, leading to better stories overall.
>>57306595I can feel your asspain from across the atlantic, britfag.
>>57306645Yankee, actually.
>>57306766Oh, fuck.
>>57306316Except that that rule only applies when the script calls for it. Think about it, while they're in the caves what are they all thinking about? Dem angels. What does that imply? it means that they're imagining what they look like. So they probably see AN IMAGE OF AN ANGEL in their mind's eye.Yet nothing happens because that would totally fuck over the plot of the episode. Ah, shitty TV.
>>57306706Is there a word for people who act like a weeaboo, but aimed at britain instead of japan?
>>57306766GEE, DO YOU THINK THAT'S FORESHADOWING SOMETHING THAT'LL JUST BE SOLVED BY TECHNOBABBLE? LIKE BAD WOLF WAS? AT LEAST BAD WOLF WAS SUBTLE AND YOU DIDN'T GET REMINDED AT THE END OF EVERY EPISODE.
>>57306828Anglophile.
>>57306766Prisoner Zero has escaped
>>57306963That's comparable to japanophile; I need the crude, 4chan-appropriate derogatory version.
>>57306976PRISONER ZERO WILL VACATE THE HUMAN RESIDENCE, OR THE HUMAN RESIDENCE WILL BE INCINERATED. REPEAT...
>>57307087Limeyboo?
>>57306918>Implying Bad Wolf was a problem to be solved.
>>57307087"Faggot."
>>57306766Neither big enough, nor obvious enough.Fix'd.
>>57307119Well it was a mystery. What did that mystery turn out to be? Not a damn thing. What, wasn't it the name of the bay where rose was in the alternate dimension?Either way, this whole rift thing will have as shitty a conclusion as bad wolf.
>>57307219It was a hint to warn them about Daleks.
>>57307219The fact that they think anagrams of Doctor Who are clever or hard to piece together shows that this is a show written by retards for retards.
>>57307207Second one wasn't AS bad but honestly it shouldn't be EVERY episode and shove your face in it.
Rumor has it the finale for this season will involve damn near every big baddie the Doctor has ever been up against.Cybus Cybermen vs Mondasian Cybermen vs Daleks vs Silurians vs Sontarans vs Ice Warriors
>>57307386How will that distinguish it from the last few seasons where those retreads were rehashed because they dare not take any risks with this show?
>>57307207>>57306766
>>57306809>in their mind's eye.By that logic, if someone were to draw a picture of an Angel, it would pop out and get them.I think in order for an image of an Angel to actually be an Angel, something of the original Angel has to have made contact. It works with the cameras, and even Amy's retina, because they all directly observed the Angel and held its image for at least an instant. Fabricating an image of one in your mind won't have the same effect.No, Doctor Who has nothing resembling working science, but do you see what I'm getting at?
>>57305323I don't think you know what "chav" means.
>>57307386>implying that's not how every season has ended
>stone comes out of Amy's eyeOH COME ON
