How philosophy explains why Steven Moffat’s monsters are seriously fucking scary
Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat has created some of the series' most frightening monsters, including the Weeping Angel aliens in "Blink" who creep up when you glance away. This season, the Edvard Munch-inspired aliens called The Silence have a strange but potent superpower: the instant they leave the frame of your vision, you forget they exist. No wonder they've lurked hidden on Earth for so many thousands of years.

2. I agree bravo to Steven Moffat
And bravo to the Doctor!

This is seriously brilliant. There are very clever humans out and about doing fun things!

If you like The Doctor, there are great channels on youtube. Search Dr Who Proms 2011 for a great show featuring the music of Murray Gold. (master galifrey)

I Love the Doctor.
