Doctor Who: The Weeping Angels

[jakshep3]

i found a problem in this:

when the weeping angels are shaking around the TARDIS when the light flashes on and off, they aren't being looked at, nor are they looking at each other- so why is it when the light turns on, they freeze??
thanks, jakshep3

1) Don't bump old threads

2) Because the light's on, genius. Note that not only do they freeze when a character looks at them, but they often freeze when the audience are looking at them. It's a neat little touch.

The director probably thought it'd be a good touch to break the fourth wall there and make it seem like they existed when the audience wasn't looking at them too.

Yeah, ther've been some shows that I was into and they canceled. Bastards.

I will never forgive you for killing Angel. You jerks.

I saw the last episode of Angel.  At least they could have wrapped up the series more intelligently.  Ooooo... the whole thing is humanity.  You can't beat the bad guys cuz they somehow just poof into existance cuz humans are all bad.

Not to mention that after all the lies and betrayals and whatnot, Angel just decides he believes that half-assed explanation without question?  From a group whose entire purpose is destruction and is founded on evil and falsehood?  If he had been that stupid the whole time, he'd have been taken out after the first episode.

And then everybody died. 

I guess that was the writers giving everyone the finger.  Yeah, that's how to not alienate your fans from ever giving you another chance.

Fail.  Utter fail.

In all actuality, that was the way they had planned on ending that particular season of Angel.  They didn't really change much.

They're putting out a comic book eventually of Angel: Season 6- they've already got Buffy: Season 8 out.

They planned it that way?

You know, that only makes it worse.   

[Damaris]

I know.  From what I recall though, they didn't have any time to really tweak much once they found out that they were canceled.

Only a matter of weeks, and by that point the plotline had already been put into place.
