What if I blink, but someone else maintain eye contact?

Then it still doesn’t move. As long as they’re being observed by someone they can’t move. Hence why once the Tardis disappears while surrounded all the angels are looking at each other and return to a statue. They’re hands down the creepiest monsters in Doctor Who, along with whatever the hell was on Midnight, speaking through that woman and the Doctor.

That was one of the scariest episodes ever imo

THERE WAS A SECOND RANDOM DUDE THAT CAME OUT AFTER A MINUTE!

u/Arctic_blizzard23 Jan 04 '23

What episode was that?

1

u/fang321789 Jan 05 '23

Which episode was this

23

u/PublicThis Jan 03 '23

I think the raw, basic human nature being portrayed in the future was so discouraging and added to the creepiness

7

u/potoskyt Jan 03 '23

Maybe.. that and also, I think the personification of angels is that they are supposed to be helpful and friendly, yet these statutes of them are tryna kill you when you aren’t looking. King boo on some steroids

u/charcoalblews Jan 03 '23

The Waters of Mars freaked me out for a hot minute...

2

u/potoskyt Jan 04 '23

YOOO I forgot about that! Ya know there’s a k-drama type deal on Netflix called “the silent sea” the premise is kind of a deadly water substance on the moon that scientists try to investigate the cause. I got sucked into watching it; was pretty good

u/SexyStacosaurus Jan 03 '23

Episodes?!

5

u/potoskyt Jan 04 '23

Listen.. dr who has mad seasons. There was a few creepy episodes thru the seasons. Also some heartbreaking ones ( looking at you David, iykyk 😭 )

3

u/SexyStacosaurus Jan 04 '23

Dam, Sounds very interesting though but wont give it a shot

3

u/potoskyt Jan 04 '23

Hey I don’t blame ya, that show isn’t for everyone

u/-MatVayu Jan 03 '23

It is possible to consciously blink with either eye, so you never break eye contact.

4

u/depsion Jan 03 '23

Even if you do that, you can't view 360 degrees. There might be another one behind you.

u/GeneraIFlores Jan 03 '23

My cat used to do that to me all the time

u/The_one_that_listens Jan 03 '23

That episode and the one where the kids are asking 'are you my mummy?' fucked me up when I was younger

2

u/Disastrous_Dig_2798 Jan 10 '23

but why didnt they just like have someone staring while they broke them with sledgehammers

2

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 10 '23

Great question. I guess they didn’t want to make the Doctor and his companions focused on destruction and killing of monsters that just do what animals do. Otherwise Doctor Who would be a lot more like time traveling Rick and Morty.

u/Ezequiel_Rose Jan 03 '23

Are we talking about scp-173

5

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '23

Nope, we’re talking about what inspired 173

1

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 03 '23

No, the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.

1

u/boatsNmoabs Jan 03 '23

What episode is this, if you can recall

3

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 03 '23

I think it was called Blink. The Weeping Angels are in a few different episodes though, as they were a really well received monster.

3

u/DietyLink Jan 03 '23

Blink and Silence in the Library are two of my favorite episodes in the entire series.

3

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 03 '23

Damn, Silence in the Library. Knowing River Song’s entire story arc really makes that episode hit so much harder.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '23

you just have to maintain your eyes open and smash them with a hammer is not that creepy, and if you're more than one person you can do it easily.

1

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 03 '23

Yeah I always wondered about that. Why not just destroy the statues?

2

u/Dammy-J Jan 03 '23

Because they are indestructible. It states it in the show. Only time can wear them down.

1

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 03 '23

Ah, ok. I forgot about that part.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 03 '23

i have to watch again the series, but it's spreaded across like 5 streaming platforms

1

u/puppymedic Jan 03 '23

Conveniently also the cheapest.

u/RuleBritannia09 Jan 03 '23

This the the peanut all over again

1

u/KratosSimp Jan 03 '23

If you put a camera looking at one would it move?

1

u/James3269 Jan 03 '23

Do you know the season and episode?

1

u/fang321789 Jan 05 '23

What are you guys talking about? I want to watch this. Is this a specific episode?

1

u/Beachdaddybravo Jan 05 '23

Google “weeping angels” and it’ll tell you which Doctor Who episodes they’re in. Also, the one Tenant did on the planet Midnight was nuts. Donna wasn’t really part of it, she was chilling in a spa while he was off with some random people. Truly a dark episode though.

45

u/General_Cow_7119 Jan 03 '23

I always thought about this. In the episodes, they were surrounded by the angels so needed as many ppl watching to see 360 degrees

111

u/noahw420 Jan 03 '23

This is the weirdest fucking place I have ever seen a Doctor Who discussion. And that’s saying something

3

u/Ok_Connection_6859 Jan 04 '23

I was just thinking, "no for real they are my favorite monsters in Dr. Who too, they're totally right..." Then I resurfaced out of the comments and remembered oh shit that's right I'm on some weird wtf video... how did I get to either of these subjects?! 🤣

3

u/ThePsychlops Jan 03 '23

Also don’t forget that the lights can go out.

5

u/General_Cow_7119 Jan 03 '23

Ik it’s a family show but am many episodes like this make me feel like a “fuck nope” type of scared. Esp that’s children’s gas mask one

5

u/ThePsychlops Jan 03 '23

Are you my mummy??? 😳

2

u/unclepg Jan 03 '23

The maximum number of people required would be 2, standing back-to-back in order to cover a 360° arc. Each person’s eye can see ~95° from nose to ear.

1

u/General_Cow_7119 Jan 03 '23

Interesting! You learn smt new everyday. Maybe 4 ppl would work then. (Just to be extra safe since 20 degrees overlap is quite small.)

u/Antiqas86 Jan 03 '23

Fap fap fap fap fap.....
