Wow! After last week's "The Family of Blood", I was expecting a "filler" episode before the series moved into position for the exciting run towards the finale. "Blink" proved to be a superbly imaginative, and downright scary, delight from the always creative Steven Moffat.
An episode which managed to grip the viewer in a steel vice of mystery, intrigue and behind-the-sofa terror, "Blink" avoided the disappointment of "Love & Monsters" while still managing to keep The Doctor and Martha's appearances to the bare minimum.
Carey Mulligan is gorgeously scrumptious as the girl in peril, Sally Sparrow. Mulligan is pure companion material and captivates the viewer with her plight. Lucy Gaskell is also extremely pleasing as Sparrow's friend, Kathy.
Moffat even manages to throw in some fan-pleasing / teasing lines, including one about police box dimensions. Forum dwellers will probably love this magic touch.
Oh, this scores another 10 out of 10. Loved this episode to bits. Thoroughly clever stuff! I'm off to move some statues right now...
