Dr Who questions

[Sarevok]

1. How fast do the the Angels move ?

2. When in stationary stone form how much firepower do you need to destroy them ? Can they be destroyed in this manner ?

1. How fast do the the Angels move?

Depends on their condition, but essentially they move at speed of plot, occasionally advancing very quickly if you look away for only a split second, sometimes moving much slower. I think the fastest I recall seeing one of them move was a good ten feet or more while someone was blinking.

2. When in stationary stone form how much firepower do you need to destroy them ? Can they be destroyed in this manner ?

They haven't been shown being destroyed in this manner at all, and it's heavily implied that in their quantum locked state they're for all intents and purposes indestructable. In Time of Angels and Flesh and Stone, they're low on energy and their image has faded, so they might have been vulnerable to explosives, but gunfire did fuck all.

So basically ... the best weapon to use against them would be a landmine, right? Or a booby trap of some kind. They trip it while they're moving and go boom.

Or you could strap bombs to them with motion triggers, so that as soon as the angel de-locks and starts moving again, the bomb goes off and blows their heads off.

[Broomstick]

I'm not sure blowing their heads off would stop them, they're such weird creatures.

In "Flesh and Stone" they were destroyed by gravity pulling them into a crack in reality that wiped out their existence - so far, that's the only sure method known.

[SilverWingedSeraph]

I think bombs could honestly do the trick. An angel stops being an angel when it stops looking like an angel, or at the very least, the more their image decays, the weaker and less dangerous they become. Amy was able to turn off the image of an angel during the brief flickering of the screen when its image was broken up. Things that look like angels become angels. Damage them enough, and maybe they'd STOP being angels? Just an idea, anyway.

1. In 'Blink' an angel crosses four meters in the literal blink of an eye, coming within inches of reaching two people, which suggests to me that it was going all out.

2. I'm going to paraphrase here.
"Listen I don't know if you're human or demon or angel or android or what, but whatever you are, is decapitation generally fatal to your kind?"

"Cause we can work with that."
