Actually... there WAS some sort of explanation.

When Billy appeared in 1969, the Doctor told him that he must have been touched by the same angel as he was.

Re: 29.10: Blink
I'm afraid she couldnt be recued as she had by the time the doctor was recued, she had lived died and had people to carry on, also she would have not written that note to Sally, Sally would never have run the shop with her brother and never met the doctor earlier in his personal time frame.

Time travel is paradox, she was not recued as she could not be, as neither could that policeman, both were set in time and had a role to play to help Sally help the doctor eventually defeat the silent assasins.

It would have been far too dangerous to help either of them. As to her being dumped in 1920 they had more energy there I suspect they were running low when they caught the policeman.

Cause and effect consider who caused what to happen in this episode.

I'd got my head round the episode until you said that. The cause, arguably is the Angels. The effect, the Doctor and Rose get sent back in time, but with advanced information, so they can send messages into the future (the hard/slow way) allowing earlier in (real) time our heroine to find and send back the TARDIS to rescue them.

Yes, I heard that too - I just assumed that different angels sent you back different amounts of time.

Which explains why one or two of them seemed to move more than the others - two of them reached the church opposite the police station, one took ages just moving through the garden, and one only moved from upstairs to downstairs. They would have had differing amounts of energy.

Rose??? I take it you mean Martha - Rose has gone, get over it :-)

Ah - but it was Rose. The first time. It just was never televised...

It was only on a second encounter with the Angels that THIS mess happened... ;-)
