While gradually re-watching New Who during the lull before the big shebang for the 50th anniversary episode, we reached "Blink" again yesterday, and, because my subconscious is apparently a ferocious procrastinator when I actually want to be trying to write something of my own, it coughed up what, from a few minutes' searching this morning, appears to be a unique metaphorical analysis of the episode.
Quick, unspoilery recap for non-fans and to help me focus: The Weeping Angels, quantum-locked assassins that turn to stone if they're observed, and who power themselves by stealing potential (time) energy from their victims by hurling them back into the past, have kicked The Doctor and Martha into 1969 while the TARDIS is in 2007 london. If they can get into the TARDIS, they will have a nearly infinite amount of time juice from which to sup. That would be bad. The Doctor and Martha (as well as two other supporting characters) leave or otherwise deliver long-waiting information to the episode's heroine, Sally Sparrow, who, with the help of her roommate's brother, solve the riddle and save the day.
