Doctor Who 2-Parter in Session

The re-occurring Doctor Who character of River Song played once again by Alex Kingston returned last Saturday to Doctor Who for a 2 parter which also features the return of the deadly Weeping Angels.  Though focused on the set up of the two part episode we got a good run of action and plot development of the complicated relationship the Doctor has with River Song.  Still not confirmed is whether River Song is to be the Doctor's future wife since all of the dialogue regarding any further knowledge of this seemed to be answered tongue in cheek.  Fortunately where the story would leave you frustrated for further exploration on this topic we learn just how more deadly the Weeping Angels are.

In season three where they were first introduced in an almost Doctor-less episode the Weeping Angels were the perfect killing machine sentencing their targets to a one way trip back in time as they would feed off the energy of a probable future now absent of their prey's influence.  Sound complicated?  No worries since this time around they just kill.  Furthermore, the Weeping Angels have a special defense mechanism - they turn into lifeless stone when seen.  This translates into a creepy stop motion-like effect as they get menacingly close with every blink of an eye.  And to even improve on their creepiness the Weeping Angels can apparently now kill remotely with any image recorded of themselves.

There's one thing you never put in a trap, if you're clever, if you're smart, if you value your continuing existence, if you ever want to live to see tomorrow, there is one thing you never, ever put in a trap. ME. - the Doctor

In true fashion to the series we are left on a cliffhanger with the Doctor, Amy, and River surrounded by an horde of Weeping Angels.  Watch the exciting conclusion next Saturday on BBC-1 (er Sunday for us North American pirates on YouTube).
