Blink from Dr. Who. Written by Steven Moffat
The Weeping Angels, possibly the most creepy race in existence. The Blinking Angels are known as the best assassins around and they have two ways of killing. Snapping your neck, or death by living. Death by living means throwing a person back in time, allowing them to live a full life, but not as they expected; as happened to Kathy in this particular episode (she is thrown back into 1920).
The philosophical question I would like to pose today is out of these two options, which would you rather have happen to you? Would you rather have it over quickly and be done with it or would you rather be thrown back into a different time period and try and live a new life? Would you go stir crazy knowing what was going to happen or would you make the best of it and place some good bets?
For me personally I would choose death by living. I am sure that at times I would go stir crazy knowing what was going to happen in the future, but I would rather live a life than have it taken away entirely. Today is just thoughts strewn together about Blink, but whatever you do, remember don't blink!
