Well, I guess it’s time to get involved with a wiki project, because I’m calling bullshit.

Effects

Moffat joked that “since I was a kid, I’ve been thinking of Doctor Who monsters, just now when I do, it costs the art department […] a lot of money”.[8] To create the rigid structure of the angels’ dresses, prosthetics supervisors Rob Mayor soaked fabric in fibreglass resin, which was then painted over.[8] Although they are never shown moving on screen, all of the Weeping Angels were played by actresses Aga Blonska and Elen Thomas wearing makeup and prosthetics.[2][8] The actresses wore two distinct masks: one that was more docile looking, and one with fangs bared.[8] Blonska later noted that “I’m partly painted, partly glued into the costume, but it’s quite comfortable.”[23] Although the actresses were slightly “wobbly” when they stood still, the producers used digital effects to, in essence, freeze the angels on film.[9] Moffat was very pleased with the results, and called them “fantastic”.[8] Mulligan later called the effects “so good” and “really creepy”.[8]

The argument seems to be based entirely on Tenant t being absent, and fewer special effects than otherwise. Since INTENT seems to matter–for instance the Seinfeld bottle episode of the chinese restaruant was intended as a bottle episode but the budget ballooned due to set construction–I think we need either a statement of intent from the creators in cases where the bottley nature of the episode is not immediately obvious, and I don’t think Blink is at all obvious.
