I really enjoy the atmosphere around liveblogs and I’ve been tossing around the idea of doing one for an episode of Doctor Who. The problem is that I tend to watch episodes on weeknights after work, and that’s a bad time for…well, THE REST OF THE WORLD. That’s why liveblogs these days are now on the weekends.
So I’m aware that a lot of you won’t be able to participate in this tonight and I’m sorry. We will do a larger Doctor Who liveblog in the future, but I know how special this episode is to a lot of fans, so I think it’ll be fun if we can all smash our keyboards for 45 minutes at the same time.
Tonight’s liveblog of “Blink” will start at 8:00pm PST. That’s 11:00pm on the east coast and FOUR AM IN LONDON. Jesus, I am sorry I swear.
So, we all start at 8:00pm PST exactly and treat the comments as our liveblogging space. Reply to other people, make your own comments about the episode, and make sure the lights aren’t off because I’ve heard this episode is TERRIFYING. Also, there are some of us who know NOTHING about this episode, so please don’t spoil anything!
Sounds good? Then off we go!
EDIT: Because it wasn’t clear enough, there will be a normal review of “Blink” posted tomorrow.

PANTS!
Girl investigators! Sparrow and Nightingale! Love.
Sally Sparrow is TOTALLY A GOTH.
"It's happy for deep people."
Never fails to make me laugh.
Old things make me feel sad too.. I totally can relate.
[Sad] is happy for deep people!
lol 'it's happy for deep people'
Mars Investigations?
She's going back to the house!!
I forgot how scary this episode is. it was the first episode of Doctor Who I ever saw though :')
"It's happy for deep people."
I <3 you, Sally.
"What's good about sad?"
"It's happy for deep people."

Oh god it's moved!!!
"It's happy, for deep people"
lol sally sparrow you are such a hipster.
High five for identical comments!
hahahaha i know right?
She really, really is though. I think I could screencap almost anything in this episode with "You so hipster."
"I love old things, they make me feel sad." Sally Sparrow, you so hipster.
Heehee turned off my fan and light, just so it'll be dark and quiet in my room.
The statue moved…dun dun dun!
OH GOD THE STATUE HAS MOVED I AM ALREADY FREAKING OUT WTF I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE.
I know you have… I was there.
Either you watched this episode together or this comment just got infinitely more creepy.
Sad. It's happy, for deep people. SALLY YOU ARE ADORABLE
Lord, I can't even keep up with everyone – how do you all do this?
seen it before, so I can type comments a bit in advance of what's happening
FIRST TSHIRT. "Not sure… Hoping… Pant?"
SECOND TSHIRT. "Sad is happy for deep people."
"What's good about sad?" "It's happy for deep people."
OR IF YOU'RE A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT, LIKE WE ALL ARE FOR LOVING EVEN THE SADDEST EPISODES OF THIS SHOW.
"Sad is happy for deep people" <3
A burgler who rings the doorbell?
Oh my god I love these two.
Is it just me, or does that guy look like a really young Michael York?
STOP KNOWING HER NAME, OVERWHELMING CREEPINESS!
Kathy is so awesome.
"i love old things. they make me sad."
"what's good about sad?"
"it's happy for deep people."
THIS IS WRITTEN ON THE WALL BY THE STAIRS IN MY HOUSE FYI MY HOUSEMATE IS EXTREME NERD POWERS AWESOME
Mail's here!
Part of me wants one of those to put in my backyard. BUT THAT MEANS I'D NEVER SLEEP AGAIN. SO NM.
Okay, yes, a burglar wouldn't ring the doorbell. They also probably wouldn't be robbing the abandoned old house.
Hi, I'm late to the party. Last time I watched this episode, I recorded myself and ended up with a video of me screaming. BUT I'LL BE BRAVE LIKE THE REST OF YOU!
oh God that guy always looks so creepy.
Steven Moffat, making things like doorbells seem utterly creepy.
Oh creepy messenger is CREEPY.
WHAT THE FUCK. THAT IS SO CREEPY.
Sally's friend… where have I seen her before?
THE PAST.
Watch Being Human? I caught up on the whole series this week, and OH HEY IT'S THAT GIRL FROM BLINK.
OH NO WAY. Really?
OHHHHHHH!! HER. YES 😀
Sally's friend is currently in Casualty, 2 weeks ago she pushed her husband down the stairs, lol.
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS. i already know i'm not going to be able to sleep tonight.
ME TOO. What is wrong with me?
IT'S LIKE I DIDN'T LEARN MY LESSON FROM EVERY OTHER TIME I'VE SEEN IT.
Glutton for punishment. I'm already weeping in terror.
but posting to the liveblog keeps me from seeing most of it. i just get to hear the terrifying screeching, creeping, crumbling noises…
"i was looking for Sally Sparrow…" creeepy once again
IS IT IS IT… no it isn't the Doctor.
This reminds me of the end of "Back to the Future 2."
ME TOO.
Very back to the future.
Just jumped in. Can I get a guestimate for where I should be in the episode?
about 8 minutes in
Kathy just landed… somewhere where there are cows.
IT'S PEEKING AT YOU MARK! DON'T BLINK
Oh my god it MOVED.
FUCKING VIOLINS CREEPIEST SOUND EVER
THE HELL IS THAT NOISE
HORRIBLE VIOLIN NOISE (I play the violin and my childhood is basically THAT NOISE but not intentionally)
OH MY GOD STATUE STOP MOVING FOR REAL.
Longest confirmation of Identity EVER
Aye statue face!
Do not want. Do not want at all. Aughghgjdkl;djl;g.
AHHH THE ANGEL.
THE ANGEL IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!
OH SHI-
gotta love the creepy ass blank eyes
NOOOO NONONONO!
OH GEEZ, THE WEEPING ANGEL MOVED. AUGH.
I would never ever ever answer the door if I wasn't supposed to be there. Except, of course, now I would just in case someone was bringing me a letter. A really old letter.
I hate that statue. D8
fucking angel with your stone eyes
you fucking creep me out
OH MY GOD WHAT. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT
NEVER PREPARED. NOT EVER.
Oh my god oh my god creepy angel creepy angel
It's looking at Sally!
WEEPING ANGEL YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TIME TRAVEL OMG
The violin Weeping Angel sound creeps me out every single time I hear it. It's perfect horror music 🙁
There were statues that resembled the angels in the graveyard of the town I lived in a Georgia for a while. If I had seen this episode then, I would have been uber freaked, instead of wandering through with headphones when talking walks. -_-'
