10 Doctor Who Moments That Make NO SENSE
8. They Throw Rocks Now?
Blink is one of those episodes that will always have a place in the hearts of Whovians, which makes it all the more difficult to accept that there's a really weird detail right at the start of it.
Sally Sparrow first gets a sense that her life is about to take a strange turn when she reads a message scrawled on the wall of Wester Drumlins: "DUCK NOW!"
Moments later, a rock flies in through the window, narrowly avoiding her head.
According to writer Steven Moffat, a nearby Weeping Angel threw the rock so it could make Sally an easier target, which was perhaps the first clue that he didn't understand the abilities of his own monster.
We've never seen another Angel attempt anything like this, so what made this one such a wimp? Angels move at lightning speeds – even the weaker ones in Blink, as we see at the end of the episode – so why do they need to incapacitate their victims? Surely that's the whole point of their ability.
Sorry Stevey boy, but you're not off the hook with this one.
