why he cant nip in and say hello, I dont know - also, the rewriting tombstone seems to suggest Amy had already rewritten things, which made a bit of a mockery of it...
I thought that too, but on thinking further, but then I remembered Amy stating to the Doctor that they could rewrite history, and he clarified that they couldn't if it involved something in their own timeline. I.e. in short, if you know your future you can't change it. Or actually you can, but it could result in a major paradox. And require a lot of energy to do so. (The power of love will do it tough apparently. Dear me, that's cheesy.)
Therefore changing other people's futures is fine. And since it's unlikely that she carved her name on the tombstone herself... that's somebody else's future - the stonemason's.
I'm sure there's a hole in that logic, but anyway.
I liked that episode a lot, although I was doing other things (cooking etc.) so missed the odd snippet here and there. Not as much as last week's episode where I actually fell asleep.
I'm not so sure of the sudden introduction of
the idea that paradoxes will destroy angels, I guess that since these creatures are influenced by time, i.e. they eat it, and are quantum locked, it's not too much of a stretch. Just a bit out of nowhere. . Also,
if these paradoxes are as potentially destructive as the Doctor feared, it seems a bit dodgy that the Ponds would commit suicide as they're risking a lot of other people as well. Of course it turned out all right (well, until it didn't. Great twist by the way.) but still,what a chance to take.
It was great to see the Angels back to their time guzzling selves. I didn't dislike the previous episode they were in, but I did dislike the fact that rule was dropped. (Okay it wasn't dropped, it was explained during the episode but to put away what seemed to be their modus operandi seemed a bit of a shame.)
Oh, and I still find the Weeping Angels scary, but then I had a fear of statues as a kid. (Silly I know. I don't have that fear any more, but I remember it, and I still find those hard blank white eyes a bit unsettling. And yeah, those little cherubs. Brrr.) And they've only been in three episodes. That's not too many.
Oh and
the Statue of Liberty. "You gotta be kidding me!" Heh.
