revieloutionneSo I'm reading responses to the Doctor Who episode Blink, which just aired stateside, and I come across this:
"I'm not saying there aren't plenty of logical plot holes in this episode (no story about time loops & paradoxes can stand up to scrutiny), but I think a lot of these type of questions can get a pass because of what I mentioned earlier: there is so much of this story that we're just not told, we only see a thin little slice of the larger picture, through the eyes of what appear to be peripheral (yet vital) characters, not unlike Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, or more accurately, reading R&G Are Dead without having ever read Hamlet."
In what kind of world do you have to live and grow up in that plays are things to be read? That's just incredibly sad.
ETA: ZOMG THE ANGEL STATUES WERE PEOPLE!
