Perhaps my bigger problem with the episode though is that, while the Weeping Angels were really great in Blink, Moffat seems to have forgotten what made them great. In the original, Sally Sparrow went into the situation blind, she had to figure out what the Angels were and how to defeat them on her own (with a little help from DVD easter eggs made by the Doctor) and the audience went along for the ride. This time though, you’ve got a heavily armed, trained and knowledgeable military unit, along with the Doctor and River, all of whom ought to know exactly how to handle the Angels, and all of whom make huge, fundamental mistakes.

Alright, how about this one? They walk into a chamber filled with hundreds of statues, all of which could be the Angel they’re chasing. Why don’t they just break all of the statues? That makes perfect sense, why doesn’t anyone even suggest it? It seems that everyone was dumbed down, I caught on immediately when the Doctor said the original inhabitants had two heads that none of the statues did. It was so blatantly obvious, yet nobody bothers to mention it.

Making characters purposely stupid, just because it’s easier on the writer doesn’t impress me, sorry. They have one more episode to rescue the Angels, River Song and the IQ of everyone involved. Unfortunately, I’m not keeping my fingers crossed.
