Angels in the Forest

Meanwhile, Amy and the clerics find the Angels moving away from the primary control room. One cleric goes to investigate, and finds the crack has grown wider, but then is soon consumed by it. Amy remembers this cleric, but none of the others do, as he had been erased from time. The crack continues to grow, and soon the other clerics are similarly consumed.

The Doctor directs Amy to keep her eyes closed and work her way to the secondary control room, hoping that the Angels will not recognise that her eyes are shut. Amy falters and trips, but as the Angels move in, River is able to teleport her to the secondary control room, rescuing her. The Doctor knows they must close the crack, and figures that a "complicated space-time event", such as a Time Lord like himself or the whole of the Angels, must enter the crack to close it.

The Angels' energy drain of the Byzantium engines cause the artificial gravity to fail, and the Angels in the forest all fall into the crack. The crack closes, and because the Angel that infected Amy has been erased from time, she is no longer afflicted by it. They return outside the caves, where additional clerics take River back into custody.

She tells the Doctor that they will meet again when the "Pandorica" opens , which the Doctor dismisses as an ancient Gallifreyan fairy tale. Amy asks the Doctor to take her back to Earth on the day he took her, and she shows him that she is to be wed the next day. The Doctor is shocked when he finds that that date, 26 June , is the same time as the time explosion that created the cracks. Writer Steven Moffat came up with the concept for "The Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone" when he was thinking of the worst possible situations to be in with the Weeping Angels and thought of the inability to see.

His first idea was blindness, though this developed into the situation that Amy ends up in. He also intended for the Angels to have a plan that could become "almost like a war", in contrast to the way they were struggling to survive in "Blink".

The episode is also important in the main story arc concerning the cracks in time and space. The idea of the crack was inspired by a similar crack in the wall of Moffat's son.

Many instances in the episode were character-driven. The action of the Angel to torture Amy "for fun" was met with anger from the Doctor but also gave him courage to defeat the Angels and save Amy. Moffat stated that in the scene in which the Doctor must figure out how to save Amy in a matter of seconds he was "very basic River was also meant to understand this and explain to Amy that he needed to think. Moffat believed that Amy was "passionate and a fighter and Moffat also believed that Amy's decision to attempt to seduce the Doctor was consistent with the character he had built up from her first episode.

It was also a reflection of how the two had just escaped from death and shared a hard time together, and Amy's tendency to do things "in the heat of the moment", although Moffat later admitted he regretted the way he wrote the scene, saying "I played it for laughs, and it was so wrong".

Most of the Weeping Angels are not statue props but young women wearing masks, costumes, and paint that took two to three hours to apply. She stated that "it was the most scary thing" when she had to trip over a step and fall, even though she was aware of the crash mat. As she was not able to express herself through her eyes, Gillan had to make herself more animated to convey emotion.

This was a slight increase from the previous episode, but "Flesh and Stone" was still second for the night behind Britain's Got Talent. Daniel Martin gave the episode a positive review on The Guardian 's guardian. He went on to declare: Gavin Fuller, writing for The Daily Telegraph ' s website, described the episode as "a rollercoaster ride of thrills and spills".

He praised the forest scenes, saying they were "easily the highlight of the episode, taking in a whole range of emotions as the nature and scale of the threat facing the Doctor, Amy, River and the clerics shifted as the episode progressed. He also stated that he was "much amused by Amy's amorous antics at the end". Steven Cooper of Slant Magazine called it "an exciting, action-packed roller coaster" and praised director Adam Smith's "top-notch visuals" as well of the performances of Smith, Gillan, and Kingston.

He noted the difference between Moffat's more obvious story arc as opposed to others in the revived series, believing it to be possibly a "long-overdue innovation" for the show. Though he praised the final defeat of the Angels for making use of what the viewer had forgotten, he thought that being able to see the Angels moving was "creepy and well-done", but made them "much less original and interesting" and the reason behind it weak, considering that the scene had "no significance at all" and was just to fill up time.

He also thought that it did not live up the "brilliant first part", feeling "a bit one-note" and lacking "a really good jawdropping revelation". However, he thought it was "a solid, exciting, pulse-pounding 45 minutes" that was "tense, action-packed, and stuffed with memorable one-liners and touching character moments", particularly praising Amy's countdown and Octavian's death, and gave the episode four out of five stars. The Daily Mail claimed that the seduction scene led to complaints from some viewers who accused the BBC of trying to "'sex up' the show to attract more adult viewers.

A BBC spokesman confirmed they had received 43 complaints of the scene out of the millions who watched the episode. In , Moffat had said that he wish he could've changed the scene between the Doctor and Amy kissing. He said in a Twitter Q and A, " I played it for laughs, and it was so wrong.
