Today’s Embarrassing True Story

 

Last night I slept with the light on.

 

Because of statues.

 

See, I watched episode 3.10 of the new Doctor Who, “Blink.”* Possibly it’s my new favorite episode—while it made very little sense,** the idea of quantum mechanics in biology made me squeak with glee. Aliens that turn to stone when you look at them—very cool.

 

However, because I’ve been in a heightened emotional state lately, the way the show was shot, and the idea of statues sneaking up on you when you’re not looking, scared the bejabbers out of me.  I can handle everything else I’ve seen in movies and TV, but the weeping angel statues got me.

 

So I did something I haven’t done in a long time: I slept with the light on. Because you Never Know when you’ll have to wake up and defend yourself from a psychopathic weeping angel statue by staring at it.

 

 

*Stephen Moffat is far and away my favorite Who writer.  There’s just something weirdly charming about his scenarios.

**The hallmark of this show.

So I had all of the new season of Doctor Who on my computer.

And when I got home, I handed it over to my sister and she sat around watching it.

Because of that episode, she ended up watching the entire season in a day. She'd been sitting there at about 11 or 12, telling herself that she'd just watch one more episode and then go to bed... and that was the episode she watched.
And then she couldn't sleep, so she went on ahead and watched the rest of them.

We both agree that it is one of the best Doctor Who Episodes ever. And the scariest. Though for me, the Ood still scare the crap out of me. It's the showing up outside of doors you don't expect them to be on the opposite side of. Very "monster in the closet".
