Season 3, Episode 10
10/10
Chilling, clever, utterly amazing
31 December 2007
As a long-time Dr. Who fan, I'm always on the lookout for episodes that would make good 'introductory' pieces to use for showcasing this character and this series to people who might be unfamiliar with it. 'Blink' is one of those episodes -- one of the best of the new series, and a fantastic 'stand-alone' that pretty much sums up both the intricacies of the time lord world and the abilities of the Doctor. Top chills (I will never be able to visit a sculpture gallery or an old graveyard again without thinking about it!), top logic and story progression (that's funny, seeing how the entire premise rests on a supremely illogical bit of time-loop), and absolutely the funniest reference to time lord technology ever made (I'll let you discover that one). I notice that most of the comments have been made by people from the UK -- be aware, world, that the Doctor is the pinnacle of great science fiction TV in America as well!
