Doctor Who Fluxs Weeping Angels Have A Perfect Blink Connection

Doctor Who: Flux has once again referenced the show’s scariest episode with the reappearance of one of Doctor Who’s most iconic aliens: the Weeping Angels. In season 13, episode 3, the Weeping Angels made several appearances throughout the episode, seemingly targeting the Doctor’s companion Yaz in particular. However, the end of the episode also saw a grim and specific callback to “Blink,” the terrifying episode that first introduced The Weeping Angels into the Doctor Who canon, as well as explained their desire to one day take control of the TARDIS.

Season 13, episode 3 of Flux saw the Doctor and her companions lost in their own personal time streams, reliving memories both past and future. In one of these memories, Yaz found herself back on duty as part of the Hallamshire Police, in a time before she met the Doctor. However, mysteriously, she kept seeing the visage of a Weeping Angel in both her rear and side view car mirrors, and even eventually in her sister Sonya’s videogame. Both of these appearances were not unlike the Weeping Angels’ first appearance in the premiere of Doctor Who: Flux.

Unlike the premiere, however, the Weeping Angels’ appearance in episode 3 had potentially dire consequences, as they seemed to have accomplished their goal of taking control of the TARDIS, their original aim in their introductory episode “Blink.” One of the most famous lines spoken in “Blink” comes from the Doctor himself, saying “The Angels have the phone box.” In Doctor Who: Flux, that premonition has finally come to pass, hinting that perhaps the Angels have a larger role to play in the unraveling of the season’s apocalyptic Flux.

In “Blink,” when the motivations of the Weeping Angels were explained to Sally Sparrow (Carey Mulligan), the 10th Doctor specified that the Angels were after the TARDIS, and that the damage they could do could “switch off the sun.” Doctor Who: Flux has made good on that promise, as the final moments of episode 3 saw one of the Weeping Angels infiltrate the TARDIS. At first, seemingly after Yaz once again, the Angel took control of the TARDIS, transporting it somewhere unknown. While it could be that the Angel has other machinations in mind for the TARDIS, it’s likely that this moment is meant to be a direct reference to “Blink,” and the threat made regarding the Angels and the TARDIS.

Additionally, earlier in the season, during Flux’s premiere, the Weeping Angels claimed a victim in Claire, a character whose presence throughout Flux is yet to be explained. She was also stalked by an Angel, and was ultimately attacked and sent backward in time, leaving the Angel to feast on her residual time energy. Perhaps now with the Angels in control of the TARDIS, Claire may return to further explain the connection between the apocalyptic Flux, the Doctor, and the Angels, or maybe even the connection to the events of the show’s most horrifying episode: “Blink.”

The Weeping Angels are one of Doctor Who’s most popular creations, with “Blink” also being one of the show’s most popular and terrifying episodes. Now, once again, the Weeping Angels have returned to carry out the threat they once posed in “Blink:” stealing the TARDIS for themselves. With this plotline resurfacing, Doctor Who: Flux aims to simultaneously pay homage to and rejuvenate the Weeping Angels’ presence in the series.
