What do you mean by that?
- cwillu 3y agoIt's a Doctor Who reference to the episode “Blink”, which introduces a villain race of statues that can move, but only when unobserved. Incoherent snippets of dialogue seen on a DVD turns out to be half of a conversation being had with a specific viewer in the future, a transcript of which goes back in time.
- sneak 3y agoDid SCP-173 rip off this premise? https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173
- cwillu 3y agoThe SCP page itself was created on 2008-07-25, while the episode aired on 2007-06-09, so it looks like the BBC was more like a year prior.
- rsynnott 3y agoI think it's a pretty old idea (things which you can't look at, or which can't look at you, are certainly _very_ old mythological ideas), but... maybe? SCP showed up at about the same time as the first weeping angels Dr Who episodes.
- primax 3y agoIt's a quote from the Doctor Who episode "Blink"
- cwillu 3y agoI think it's a political statement. ‹clicks pen›
