6. The stupid looking at the eyes print an angel onto your brain thing...because the angels usually cover their eyes, so it's rare for a victim to look at their eyes to begin with...I remember there were a few close-up shots of an angel with eyes uncovered....It only works with angels of an image of an angel? the Angel has to be calm (or look calm) to use it...and doesn't use it in hunting mode (as the closeups in Blink shows the angel freezed in the middle of an action)? There was a imprinted brain Angel in blink but it's just quantum locked before it manifested due to the original one being so? Or super convenient theory: an angel only does it occassionally despite that they can? | 6.

7. The angels in Blink remove someone from the time stream just by touching them, yet the angels are perfectly capable of breaking necks and grabbing Father Octavian. Another glaring inconsistency. | |||

You could rationalise it with the idea that the Angels seen in ToS have in some way 'evolved' beyound those in Blink and have new/differing abilities. | You could rationalise it with the idea that the Angels seen in ToS have in some way 'evolved' beyound those in Blink and have new/differing abilities. Things don't stay the same. I'd say it was just changing the alien to fit the plot needs. Not entirely happy with it; I liked the 'purer' idea of the Angles from Blink too. The fact that they were 'observed' and 'quantum locked' (not by choice) becasue of this was nice. The optional defence mechanism explantion just isn't the same calibre of idea; its a significant weakening of the 'alienness' of them. Still; I quite like the way BOB communicated; nice an flat.
