"The Weeping Angels have gone from an incredibly creepy one-off villain into creatures that, like the Daleks before them, have lost any ability to inspire fear. They are only terrifying if they obey the rules that make them feel real … and these angels never do. They attack you in an instant if you blink, but Rory and Amy can look away from them for a good minute to debate how to defeat them without any dire consequences. They zap you back in time if they touch you, unless you’re River Song, in which case they just grab hold of your wrist and don’t let go. They always cover their eyes to protect themselves from being quantum locked, except when they don’t. They turn to stone when observed, but can cross a huge, vibrant city full of people with no problems. They only send people back in time when they are weak, otherwise they just kill them (a la Season 5), but when they’re superpowerful in New York, they stick to the back-in-time plan. And it’s lucky that there are no pictures of New York City landmarks, since an image of an angel is an angel and all."

Did you know I once had the chance do avert your creation? […] I hesitated. I thought I could claim the moral high ground, and I let the Daleks live. […] But you listen to me. You better hope you don’t give me one single chance to escape, because I will take it, no matter what I’ll take it, and I will go back in time, AND I WILL WIPE THE DALEKS OFF THE FACE OF HISTORY.

"But here’s the thing. Never mind us blundering fools, check out the fans. Two hundred and ten of them, with the top-secret episode within their grasp – and because we asked nicely, they didn’t breathe a word. Not one. Even Doctor Who websites have been closing their comments sections, just in case anyone blurts. I’m gobsmacked. I’m impressed. Actually, I’m humbled. And we are all very grateful."

If Moffat goes and takes away the Time War from Eight, I will go to IKEA, buy all of their tables/desks, assemble them, and even after days-on-end of assembly and blistered fingers and cramps and missing screws and dowels, I will still have enough rage to flip all of those said tables/desks.

Is this a thing? How is this a thing? I stopped watching Doctor Who, which I am glad of, based on everyone’s outrage recently, but I also feel out of the loop. How is he even possibly able to change the Doctor’s history? I AM SO CONFUSED.
