 (Angels Take Manhattan)

"Changing the future" said Amy, running her hand along her husband's face "It's called marriage." 
And with that, the couple fell; their eyes only on each other.
"Amy!" the Doctor cried;
But there was no time to save them. At that moment, time itself seemed to slow down. The Ponds had fallen down to their deaths, wrapped in each other's arms. All the Doctor could do was watch on as the paradox took effect.

I don't really know what to say about Angels Take Manhattan. The main story is very cool and yes, that scene is iconic, but there is also a lot of stuff that'll make you go "Whaaa?"

The biggest problem is that the Weeping Angels were designed for the close-up horror, stop-motion thriller feel in Blink, but they don't work well in a regular episode. However, they insisted on bringing them back again and again - instead of designing a new monster to achieve what they wanted - so they shoehorned in new powers and more ludicrous situations to make them a threat. I think the only good implementation of the Angels after Blink was Village of the Angels, where they brought them back to their base idea and made them proper scary again.
