Alan Cumming voices Lux in Doctor Who season 15, episode 2, and the complex villain has some surprising secrets and stunning abilities.
In "Lux," the nod to "Blink" is far less subtle, and that extends to the jokes Davies makes about the 2007 effort. When the subject of the Weeping Angels' debut comes up during the fans scene in "Lux," Belinda asks what the plot of "Blink" boils down to. The succinct reply comes from Samir Arrian's Hassan, who simply states, "It's this story where you're not allowed to blink." Belinda's reply couldn't be more sarcastic as she says, "Well, that sounds like an absolute epic."
"Lux" Also its "Blink" Is The Doctor Who Episode All Fans Love
Davies isn't being cruel to "Blink" - it's quite the opposite
For all the shade Belinda is unknowingly throwing on "Blink," Davies' "Lux" script makes it clear that he isn't actually criticizing the David Tennant episode. When Fifteen asks which of the Doctor's adventures is the fans' favorite>, they all immediately agree that "Blink" is the best - despite Fifteen's attempts to sway them toward one of his more recent exploits. There are a lot of conflicting opinions in the Doctor Who fandom because of all the changes over its 60+ year history, but "Lux" confirms that one of the rare pieces of common ground is that "Blink" is enjoyed by all.
