I have been strangely captivated by the Doctor Who series on BBCAmerica lately. I watched a couple of episodes of the old Doctor Who many, many years ago. And I was not impressed at all. But the new Doctor Who, that I like.

Last Thursday Danny and I watched an episode we had recorded on the dvr called "Blink." It was an episode from 2007 and came highly recommended by Danny's dad. In fact, he told us that it was the best Doctor Who episode he had ever seen.

So we watched it. And we liked it. But it was creepy. And sad beyond words. There are these stone angels that come alive when you aren't looking at them. Hence, the title of the show was Blink. Because you don't even want to blink when one of these things is coming after you. If you blink or look away, they kill you by sending you back in time with only the clothes on your back.

I couldn't stop thinking about this episode. I even woke up during the night Thursday and had what might have been night terrors. I didn't go back to sleep for about 2 hours. I'm telling you that whole episode with the stone angels was creepy. And I still can't figure out why this resonated so strongly with me. But I can sleep now. And I am not scared to get up in the night to go to the bathroom in my own house. Because that would just be silly, right? And yet, Blink still sits in my mind and pokes its stoney fingers into my consciousness every so often these past few days.
