I agree, Moffat has a real talent for creating iconic and terrifying monsters! The fear of what you can’t see is used to some extent with the gas-mask zombies and the clockwork droids as they wear those creepy masks, and they are brilliant villains as well. I actually think the most disturbing monster ever in Doctor Who is  Davies’ creation: that creature in Midnight. The fact that we know so little about it makes it work so well. It’s even more chilling that the humans were the real monsters in that episode …
Yeah, Amy’s departure is really moving and well-done. I thought it was the saddest scene ever when I first saw it, although on re-watch I think Donna’s exit tops it as the most tragic of the revival and probably the whole show.

Hi, this is my first post on here! I love discussing Doctor Who.

The first episode I watched was the Time of the Angels which I happened to catch on TV. I remember being so captivated by the character of the Doctor, River Song and the mystery surrounding her, and of course the  weeping angels. The part that really sticks in my mind is the twist near the end of the episode. I still think it’s really well done, just completely spine-chilling.

I know a lot of people dislike the handling of the angels after Blink but I really enjoyed them in other episodes. What do you all think?
