All right, so here in the Paul household we can't wait for July. We've been watching the newest Doctor Who season. Last night was the most recent episode for the UK: episode 10, "Blink". And holy crap, it is my favorite episode ever. It's also considered one of the most conceptually frightening episodes.
No big spoilers (I swear), but The Weeping Angels are the most awesome, fantastic, mind-blowing monsters I've seen on TV in a long long time. The writers weren't kidding when they said the Angels would send chills up your spine. I'm never looking at an angel statue the same way again. Also, I love the concept of things being quantum locked. The experiment of Schrodinger's Cat has fascinated me since I was a child (despite the fact that I always felt bad for the theoretical cat).
Oh, and the character of Sally Sparrow needs to be the Doctor's new companion. Needs to, seriously. Bloody fantastic character, fantastic acting.
That is all.
Anyway. The entire episode is summarized on Wikipedia, so I really can't spoil anything (really, if you don't want to know anything, don't click). Hurray for the internet.
Apologies. I just really really wanted to squee over the episode. Adam and I actually applauded when it was over. Heck, the entire season so far has been fantastic, especially "Human Nature" and "Family Of Blood". But "Blink" is best, so far. Three episodes to go before the season ends. And then, come July, I get to watch it on American television for reals from the beginning. Yay.
You people in Great Britain are lucky.
