As a disclaimer, I'm really, really really tired to the point that I am struggling to stay awake right now, which may be fault of festivities.

That wasn't just a giant angel. That was the Statue of Liberty. Because apparently that's the only thing that the Doctor Who writing staff knows about NYC, that the Statue of Liberty is there. (And that goes for RTD as much as Moffat).

[magic_7_words]

It's there, but it's not hollow with a staircase inside or anything dumb like that.

[giallarhorn]

But if it is the Statue itself, then it'd be on the pedestal with the stairs leading up, right? So if it isn't hollow, then where do the stairs go, and why wouldn't anyone had made a bigger fuss that all of a sudden, the stairs leading up to the Statue don't lead anywhere?

[giallarhorn]

But if a statue was making that much noise running around the city, someone would have noticed it which would mean it could never move? Probably more than a lot of someones, especially in a city 'that never sleeps'.

Also, what would happen to the people who go visit it and walk around the staircase inside? Do they get eaten as well?

[aim2misbhave]

Yeah, those are good questions. But... yeah. When is someone not looking at the Statue of Liberty? And more precisely, if it started walking, how would people STILL be not looking? And if the thing in Time of Angels is true, then what about all the people who bought cheap souvenirs with the image of the Statue of Liberty? Why is the entire population of NYC not getting constantly zapped backwards in time, for that matter?

[giallarhorn]

Also, on the roof Amy and Rory stopped looking at the statue, so what was stopping it from zapping them? Or the Doctor and River?

Too many disparate elements, and things that don't make sense.

LOL you can see the traffic on the road when Amy and Rory jump of the building - and the Statue Of Liberty is RIGHT THERE and apparently no one sees it.

Makes no sense. It's stupid.

And the Statue itself didn't actually do anything, did it? It just sort of stood there and looked...silly. IDGI
