Can anyone quote the definition of time?
the “timey wimey” one ?
Just make sure it doesn’t get away from you this time.
Most people assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, when in actuality it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey…stuff.
I also don’t agree with it for the most part, but I’ve seen lots of others say so. Mind you, I can definitely do without Mme de Pompedour and her “My Lonely Angel” crap. :rolleyes:
The weeping angel. Why? I have no idea. To knock Sally unconscious so it’d be easier to sneak up and touch her?
Scared. The. Bejeebus. Out. Of. Me.
And daHubby too. I don’t think I’ve seen him spooked over a tv show in a long time.
Hence why he needed his timey-wimey detector to go ding! when there’s stuff.
Not that prevalent, I wouldn’t say. There is a hint of right-on-ness about it.
(Is “right-on” in this sense a Britishism? It means self-consciously liberal and hip, anyway)
And she told the Doctor about it in the materials she gave him in 2007; he wasn’t there in 2007. :smack:
Regarding the the benevolent way to kill:
I kind of thought of it as benevolent plus, in that I bet many of those folks made some pretty fantastic investments, bets, etc. Of course, it can’t necessarily compensate for being plucked out of the middle of your life, but it sure beats getting turned into a square of asphalt.
Terrific ep IMHO, right up there creepieness-wise with “are you my mummy?”
Without a sports almanac, what bets would you make between 1920 and 1950?
What investments without an encyclopedia? You might be able to help during WWII if your government would believe you. No fair Googling. 
I could bet on the outcome of many World Series, which if placed at the beginning of the year would have a high payout. I could do some betting on the US Stock market. That would be about my limits. I might be able to bet on a handful of fights and high profile horse races.
Besides the Cop went to 1969. He had it easy, he was able to anticipate many trends and investments.

Indeed, Microsoft would be a pretty good buy.
There were situations in which more than one creature was present as they moved in the dark, though.
Obviously Martha wanted to take out the new blonde. She knows he has a thing for blondes. Doc had to then go back and fix it.
I’ll buy that.
There were also situations in which more than one creature was present as they moved in the light too. I’m not sure what your point is. Nothing suggested they couldn’t move at the same time, the only proviso was that they didn’t look at each other simultaneously.
The first problem with the rock is that the room appeared empty afterwards - no statues, no Doctor.
Why would the Doctor tell her to duck and throw a rock at her? Why not tell her to do something helpful?
As I said, there was no statue in the room. (If there had been, it could have zoomed up on her while she was totally focused on the message.)
Seriously, people - this is a key part of the episode and yet there’s no sensible explanation. 
Short of saying ‘a wizard did it’, I think it was just a novel idea that was in the short story that this was based on and because of that, they included it into the show. Granted there was no explanation for it in the story either (as I recall), but the scene is still a lot of fun.
If you are going to poke holes into Doctor Who’s logic and writing, this is just one in a long list of items to add.
The rock is an artifact of a time travel contradiction-er, timey wimey thing.
The Doctor read about it in the information she gave him in 2007, so he wrote it on the wall in 1969.
G-d, you’d think this was Trek the way I make excuses…
No kiddin’. The Doctor didn’t know what threw the rock, he only knew what he’d written on the wall from Sally’s notes, and probably that there was a rock. He was stuck in a predestination paradox himself.
And, gee, rotting old house out in the woods… No chance of anything falling out there. Or kids wandering by tossing rocks through windows. Or tv writers who throw like girls trying to bean internet posters who need to get a life instead of nitpicking Doctor-freakin’-Who of all things, and missing.
But, hey, mystery rocks and evolving stone angels make no sense, while you’re giving time-travel a pass for logic?
That they covered their faces while it was light but didn’t while it was dark.
