Damn, the Doctor seems to go for cruel and unusual punishment!  Spiting the people who wanted eternal life, he puts them in eternal imprisonment?  And not just any old eternal imprisonment, fancy shit like sticking people in mirrors.

10: Blink [[September 14]], [[2007]]
(First watched 2007-09-14)  God, what a great episode.  The nonlinear story elements were fantastic, and the concept of statues that can only move when not being looked at is a genuinely creepy one.
This episode was written by [[Steven Moffat]], who also wrote [[Doctor Who Series 2|last series]]'s "The Girl in the Fireplace", so this pretty much cements him as my favorite writer of the show.
If there's one curiosity I'm left with, it's that Sally got the TARDIS key hanging from a statue's hand.  Later on it's revealed the statue's want inside the TARDIS, and they try attacking her as she's trying to use the key to get in.  So why didn't they just use the key?  Did they not understand its importance until hearing the Doctor talk about it on the DVD?
