In , the Weeping Angels were using New York City as a "farm" due to its massive population, and transformed most of the statues in the city into Angels themselves.
They would keep victims imprisoned in Winter Quay and send them back in time whenever they tried to escape. When River Song investigated Kliener, she used hallucinogenic lipstick to cause him to kiss the Angel he was using; allowing the Angel to drain Kliener's life energy and kill him.
Crime lord Julius Grayle also had the same Angel that Kleiner fed and several baby Angels in his possession at this time. He kept the adult manacled in his office, torturing and damaging it, and the babies locked in his dark cellar. In response to the captive adult Angel's distress, at least two other Weeping Angels watched over Grayle's home, disguised as ordinary statues.
They eventually attacked when it was left defenceless. The Statue of Liberty approaches Winter Quay. However, Rory jumped from the Quay's roof, creating a time paradox as an alternate timeline in which the Angels kept Rory imprisoned in Winter Quay until he died of old age already existed , which poisoned and killed the majority of the Angels. Artist Ivan Stockinsky painted Glimpsed in a Graveyard , which depicted two winged angel statues standing outside a tomb and was a departure from the style he had used throughout his life.

Nevertheless, only one angel "statue" remained outside the tomb, with no one ever explaining where the other went. During the s , the Weeping Angels of New York formed an alliance with Cardinal Ollistra to power Gallifreyan structures that would shield them from the destruction of the universe, in exchange for humans as a source of potential time energy.
They maintained communication with Ollistra and the Monk through a quantum communicator. When the Eleven came, the alliance was broken as he let the Angels feed on Enclave members hiding in the city. The Angels fed off the Monk, who they sent back through time, which gave them a huge amount of energy. A Little Help from My Friends comic story. TV : Blink Among their victims were nineteen year olds Carol Martindale and Andy Kenyon , whose disappearances were recounted in a newspaper report a week later.
This report contained an image of one of the Angels, but the paper mistook the statues appearing in different places as local youths moving them around. According to alientologist Justin Richards , this report was typical of coverage of the Wester Drumlins disappearances. Angels eternally trapped by the Tenth Doctor. In , the group of Angels stranded the Tenth Doctor and his companion Martha Jones in and captured his TARDIS with the goal of using the Time Lord technology for its near-unlimited temporal energy in a process which could cause enough damage to "switch off [Earth's] sun".
They also sent Kathy Nightingale to and Billy Shipton to , unknowingly allowing the Doctor to indirectly communicate with Sally through them. When it finished dematerialising, the Angels were stuck looking at each other across the empty space where the TARDIS had been, each turned to stone eternally, their menace ended. TV : Blink The Eleventh Doctor later recounted these events when asked if he had ever encountered the Weeping Angels, describing these particular Angels as "scavengers, barely surviving".
At some point in the s , Julia Hardwick found clues that warned her of the Weeping Angels, as well as photos which seemed to depict her in the past. When she investigated, she was sent to the past by an Angel. It was she who had sent herself the warnings. In , a boy named Charlie Cause disappeared whilst filming an independent movie entitled Zombie Vixens.
The last photos taken of him showed that he was attacked by a Weeping Angel in a graveyard. In the past, Mark followed instructions from a letter he thought to be written by his future self. In fact, it was psychic paper sent to him by a group of six Weeping Angels. The Angels wanted Mark to save his wife, who had died in a car accident in , to create a paradox so they could feed.
During the adventure, Rory got sent back to by a Weeping Angel, but after spending a month setting up a trap for the Angels in following instructions the Doctor had given him, Rory reunited with the Doctor, Amy and his younger self. After trapping five of the Angels and the sixth accidentally trapping itself, the Doctor realised that the Weeping Angel that sent Mark back in time was trying to change its own past but caused it instead. Mark's time in the past ended up actually leading to him meeting Rebecca and ending up with her with his future self, facilitating many of the events in their lives.
If he had changed her death, it would've caused a paradox because it would've changed both the past and the future. The Doctor realised that the Angels planned to do this to everyone eventually, starting with Mark, until they used every person on Earth to create paradoxes and feed.
In , a single Weeping Angel chased an athlete across the Olympic stadium in an attempt to steal the Torch and the spirit of the games. However, it reformed moments later, despite missing its right arm.
In , a Weeping Angel was captured by Sammy Star , who kept it trapped in a lead-lined box. Not entirely knowing what he had, Star found out the Angel's ability to make people disappear and used it to achieve fame in the magic business by having a different "missing" girl be taken by the Angel. The Angel remained placid due to Star "feeding" it every night. However, Star's scheme was stopped by the Eleventh Doctor, who was also indirectly responsible for Star being taken by the Angel, before Star could put his act on television, an act, unbeknownst to Star, that would allow the Weeping Angel to make duplicates of itself appear in every house that watched the show.
Star was defeated after being knocked off a walkway and sent back in time by his own Weeping Angel. The Doctor determined that the box only worked because the Weeping Angel was using Star and so allowed itself to be trapped. However, Rory Williams and Amy Pond came up with a plan to use a mirror to trap the Angel using its own reflection which would create another Angel, leading to the two quantum locking each other. The plan initially succeeded, but the Weeping Angel started to make more copies of itself until Rory smashed the mirror, leaving the two Angels trapped in quantum lock.
The Doctor, making a trip back in time and collecting a few favours, put the two Angels in Trafalgar Square on the Fourth Plinth, under the title of Monument to the Missing in memory of the Angel's victims, where the two Angels would be in someone's line of vision for many years to come. The first time was when an Angel disguised as part of a water fountain sent Rory to On the second occasion, he was displaced by a survivor of the destruction of Winter Quay near his and Amy's gravestone.

TV : The Halloween Apocalypse. At an unknown time, a definitive piece of literature about the Angels was created. In the 33rd century , flocks of Weeping Angels swarmed human colony worlds and darkened the sunlight to feed; worlds such as New Moscow were asked to take up arms against them.
Some said it would not be possible to oppose such powerful creatures. At some point in the 47th century , hundreds of Weeping Angels came to Alfava Metraxis and wiped out the civilisation of the Aplans.
Afterwards, they ran out of food and began to starve, going dormant in the Aplan Mortarium. Another Angel somehow learned of this, and feigned dormancy in the ruins of Razbahan until it was dug up, persisting on to the end of the 50th century. Obviously, the Doctor is strongly against this idea — there is no guarantee that Amy will end up in the same place as Rory, and even if she does, she will never be able to see the Doctor again.

The Doctor and Amy are viewing the image, and look away, but when they return their gaze on the video screen, the Angel had moved. The image of the Weeping Angel was alive within the recording, and it had every intention of freeing itself to bring harm to The Doctor and his companions. The Weeping angels are ruthless, timeless, quantum-locking villains. The Weeping Angels are more than capable of killing, having snapped the necks of certain victims who have gotten in their way.
Their primary goal, however, is to feed, though they've been known to use less-than-conventional methods to do so. A single touch is all that is needed for a Weeping Angel to send its victim back in time. Their killing stroke rips people from their timeline, leaving no trace, no remains for their loved ones to mourn over, nothing.
One minute you may be grabbing a cup of coffee in Central Park, and the next you will be in, say, turn of the century Manhattan. Though you may not die, the life you were intended to lead was murdered for the sustenance of a monster. The Weeping Angels have existed since the dawn of the universe.
Drifting among the stars throughout the cosmos, they are in a perpetual search of their next meal. The appearance of these Angels was considered a miracle, and a secret society, the Order of the Three Angels, was created as result.
It was deduced by the Fifth Doctor that these Angels were drawn toward the gravitational pull of the Earth during its formation billions of years ago, and have long lain in hibernation. The Doctor acted in kind, and defeated the three Weeping Angels by locking them away forever hopefully in the catacombs underneath the Sistine Chapel.
Steven Moffat, whether you love him or hate him, has done the world a great service. A lifelong Doctor Who fan, Moffat managed to bring the beloved show back from the television abyss in The reintroduction of Doctor Who to the modern viewer caused a resurgence of monumental proportions on both sides of the pond.

In , Radio Times held a vote among the general populous that garnered over ten thousand votes, asking the same question. It is a unique method of feeding, sure, but an inefficient one as well.
As civilizations expand, so too must their infrastructures. And efficiency is the key toward expansion. Where would car manufacturing be today had Ford not developed the assembly line? Well, the Weeping Angels naturally developed a form of farming to increase their effectiveness.
Converting nearly every statue in Manhattan into Weeping Angels including big mamma Liberty , the Weeping Angels became a dominant force, albeit one that no doubt needed a constant supply of time energy in order to survive. By trapping their victims out of time and in an apartment building, the Winter Quay, the Angels converted the structure to act as a type of battery. The Weeping Angels are basically the most terrifying creatures in the Universe, you get it. But alas, there is a way to defeat them!
It's no easy task, of course, but the Weeping Angels are not entirely immune to harm. Ironically enough, it is their brilliant defense mechanism that can be used against them. Quantum locking is what keeps Weeping Angels safe. They turn to stone when observed, and no harm can befall them. However, their one weakness is written directly into their name! While in this state, they appear weeping, with their hands covering their eyes, so they cannot observe one another. The simplest way to defeat the Weeping Angels is to trick them into using their defense mechanism against themselves.
If you can fool a group of Weeping Angels into looking at each other in their locked state, they will quantum-lock each other in that position until they starve to death. He leaped to his death to avoid that fate, but in so doing, he inadvertently created a paradox.
This paradox poisoned the food supply the Weeping Angels relied upon, killing them instantly and correcting the timeline. The Weeping Angels may be powerful, monstrous beings, but they aren't unbeatable. Daleks exterminate. Cybermen assimilate.
