Howling:5 things to look for: Eyes
Please see the original thread Forum:5 Things to look for in Series 5 and the summary thread Forum:5 things to look for: Overall.
This was originally proposed in Michael Downey's original thread on "5 things to look for".
- The Eleventh Hour: There are closeups of Amy's and the Doctor's eyes, especially while they're trying to look out of the corners of their eyes to get around the perception filter. The Atraxi have a very obvious eyeball on their ship. There's a "Doctor's-eye view" with the stop-motion shots. "There's something missing... in the corner of my eye."
- The Beast Below: The best anyone's found is the frequent references to children crying.
- Victory of the Daleks: The new paradigm Daleks have more realistic eyestalks. There are closeups on the Daleks' eyestalks, especially one clearly showing the more-eyeballish-looking eyestalk the first time the new paradigm Daleks are shown. There are "Daleks-eye views"--those have already seen in the RTD era, but never nearly as much as in this episode.
- The Time of Angels: "The eyes are not the windows to the soul, they're doors..." The Weeping Angels get into Amy through her eyes, after which dust runs out of her eyes. Which also of course means there are lots of closeups of Amy's eyes (although the ratings probably go up every time they show her eyes...) and the Angels' eyes.
- Flesh and Stone: In TToA's scenes from next week, it's revealed that Amy will have to keep her eyes closed. According to Digital Spy's screencaps and teasers, the Doctor spends a lot of time looking into Amy's eyes, and an Angel is revealed inside her eye.

The Beast Below When Liz 10 wears her mask the only part of her you can see is her eyes (yes I know she couldn;t move/walk around otherwise), also the references to noticing / not noticing thinhgs such as the water in the glasses not vibrating 86.26.137.154 06:05, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
I think the not noticing things may be separate, and was going to do a separate thread on that.
Anyway, FaS had even more about eyes than expected. Apparently, part of the reason quantum-locking was a successful evolutionary trait is that it makes everyone look at the Angels all the time, which is how they get inside people's heads. --Falcotron 07:32, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
Also see Forum:An eye watching River?. Quoting Ghadius in that thread:
- In the episode Flesh and Stone, there appears to be an eye watching River Song from one of the ships monitors. The camera focuses on it a lot, and it is the only thing moving on the screen. It also emits some kind of static noise.
- Interestingly, it moves in much the same way the Valtraxi [Atraxi] eye moved when searching for Prisoner Zero. River Song has also been proved to be a prisoner.

in "Amy's choice" the creatures in the old people (forgot there names) show just a single eye. Lu-igi board
- In fact, Amy even makes a point of the eyes in their mouths, and then Rory (I think--sorry, lost my notes) asks whether extra eyes are going to be popping out anywhere else.
- What about VoV? I can't remember anything significant about eyes there, but there may have been something I forgot to post. Since I have to watch it again for the "There's something..." line (as if I needed an excuse:)), I'll look for it. --Falcotron 09:50, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
- In Amy's Choice, when they all wake up in the tardis after crashing the campervan, their are very well timed piano (i think) notes in the background as each of them open their eyes. It's probobly nothing, but I noticed it when first watching it, so I think it's noticable enough.87.113.244.41 08:27, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
In The Hungry Earth, there were some "Silurians'-eye" shots, but I didn't notice any particular focus on eyes themselves. The Silurians didn't even have a third eye. --Falcotron 05:48, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
