Blink (2910/310)

[pbellosom]

Thought this was a great episode.

I early part of the episode when Sally got the letter from her friend reminded me of the ending of "Back To The Future: Part II" when Marty got the letter from the Doc from the past and was delivered on a certain day at a certain time.

Great twists, great villans, great actors/actresses and overall a great episode.

I thoguht that, I kept shouting it out and my familly kept sshhing me.

that would be really cool.

How about a bigger crew.

The Doctor.

Captain Jack

Martha Jones

Sally Sparrow

I would so go for that.

It was only a matter of time...

$23.99? That's about £12. Not a bad price...

Not sure about the design though. Too plain for my tastes.

A link to the short story Blink was based on

Thanks for the link. Cute story. I can see why they upped the age of Sally Sparrow for the show, but I think the twelve year old Sally works better for the short story. I like Young Sally just as much as Older Sally. Especially how she amazingly and wildly (not to mention amusingly) uses adverbs.

I wonder what kind of grade she got on her essay (if she made a copy). And if she'll ever be a Companion when she grows up. Either Sally would be good, IMO.

That short story was written for the 2005 Dr Who annual, so they had to use a kid really

[ShadowMaat]

Well "had to" or not, I still liked it and I don't think it would have worked as well if it had been someone Sally-Blink's age. I don't think the story would have happened at all without the kiddie POV.

Awesome.

I just remembered, when DI whats-his-name was given Sally's card she said:

"Yup, that's me. Sally Shipton, no Sparrow!"

Did I miss something or did that "Shipton" come out of nowhere? ... Or am I imagining things completely and that didn't actually happen?

[ShadowMaat]

Shipton was the name of the best friend's married name, I think obviously the name of the DI. Everybody knows that! Nifty idea that the DI married Sally Shipton Whatever, though. It would make a nice (if weird) fit.

Yeh, I know it was the best ever episode, The writer and creator of the episode is a genius, the enemy was brilliant couldn't get scarier.

Shipton was the name of the DI...

[ShadowMaat]

Er, yes, I know that. I was testing you. Congratulations, you passed!

I'm rubbish with names. And faces. And pretty much anything involving people...

[lord-anubis]

so the doctor and martha were sent to 1969 i wonder if the saw jack and sam?

So funny with Martha peeved that she has to support the Doctor and work in a shop - rofl

loved that part to and then i wonder why the doctor couldent get a job. then thought of the doctor working at some shop asking do you want paper or plasic


this ep was a lot better then i thought thous angle thing freaked me out im probly going to have nightmars now. loved the bit at the end with doctor and martha and bow and arrows. heres thought about thous angle things thou couldent you just get a mirror and put it in fornt of them and then wouldent that take care of them?

[BruTak]

Mirror? Hah! As the US Navy SEALs say - "There are few problems that cannot be solved through judiciuos use of high explosives."

Shipton was the name of the DI...
