That theory causes problems because
there have been nights when no one's been looking at it because of power outages and such. Pitch black, no lights to illuminate it, and it's never moved?

There were most likely people on the island at the time of the black out. Security guards or stranded tourists who had it in their sights.
how do you know it never moved

It didn't move as time was not yet right for WORLD DOMINATION

Don't forget that the image of an angel becomes an angel. So it wouldn't make sense.
don't forget that they made that up on the spot and that they stared straight at angels all the time in blink and that also the angels kill you by sending you back in time except when they don't

Erg, that's what bugged me about The Time of Angels. They changed the rules so much that they were pretty much entirely different creatures. Maybe the crack will make those rules go away (they never existed, yay!) and the actually creepy angels will stick around.
I would think they'll just timey wimey it, make up new rules and go about their business.
If you haven't seen the Reddit thread, a fan was nice enough to offer them tea.

Maybe the Angels had evolved?

The storyline reason, I think, was that the Angels in Blink were weaker, whereas the ones in ToA were in beast mode.

Yeah, the Time of Angels was one of the big disappointments of series 5 for me. It would have been fine if it hadn't been the Angels, but it felt like they missed what made Blink good

During the filming the Doctor is reading parts of a book to Amy. Here's the cover.
They're filming with some 1930's guns and cars... is River a detective?

Hah, I was just about to post this picture a friend of mine took, which explicitly mentions the
year 193x
Edit: So, nice to know that
Moffat is apparently continuing the Daleks in Manhattan saga. ;P

We need to brainstorm something high concept to figure out how the terrible horror
writing
How about… the human/dalek hybrid process somehow resulted in a virus that starts transforming citizens of the Big Apple into a new race of hybrids that must be stopped. Naturally, the altered DNA instantly (in that incredibly bullshit "my DNA travels via electricity!" manner) gives them every personality trait of Daleks, even though they retain their human memories.
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia is turned into a Dalek hybrid in 1934 and secretly starts building a giant skyscraper which is really a massive Dalek shell. Four years later, it is almost completed, and the Doctor must convince the largest Weeping Angel ever to exist (...yup,
Statue of Liberty
Wow, the shit just writes itself!

Then the Doctor uses the Time Vortex lighthouse spaceship that the living trees used this past Christmas to go back and bring back the Victorian era-steampunk Giant Cyberman to do battle with the Giant Weeping Angel in the streets of New York. The the Silence use a megaphone to tell everyone in New York to forget it ever happened. Problem solved.

JJS has one, too. I think he uses it to increase the brainpower of posters in Sales-age.
Exactly. There's also a trigger to extend it.
Though once you extend it one of the buttons stops working. :/

But there is another button at the base for when it's extended.

It's refreshing to know that the Cloister Bell has only gone off twice in the entire run of Doctor Who. The universe is a safer place than I thought.
edit: Some of this is interesting though.
edit²: No, wait, it isn't. There are no examples given for the first point about Rory being irrational and violent. He certainly has an occasional bad-ass mode, like when he went out to find his wife, but then it was actually the doctor who blew everything up while Rory just struck a pose. But while he's grown from total ninny to sometimes assertive person, I can't think of anything he's done that's been any more incoherently ragey than anything the other main characters have done.
Also, he once had a headache.
The thing about him not having a room remains interesting, though.

It didn't go off when the Tardis exploded, taking the universe with it, so maybe it isn't that safe after all.

Wow. That's entirely plausible. I wonder if that detail about the Let's Kill Hitler episode is correct.

Yikes. Probably not true, but... yikes.

Rory: Does anybody else find this day just a bit difficult? I'm getting a sort of banging in my head.
Amy: Yeah, I think that's Hitler in the cupboard.
Rory: That's not helping.
It was a one-off statement which was otherwise in line with Rory's character. The entire episode was a constant barrage of bewilderment.
what theory? its just rambling observations - does it actually have a point somewhere, or are we supposed to guess that randomly
Rory is the master

Maybe the part of the TARDIS that exploded first was the Cloister Bell control system.

No.

Why do you think it isn't a crazy theory?

Who knows what the hell Moffat is planning. He places little clues years in advance.
GameplayWhore

He also isn't at all interested in tying things with the RTD series, so trying to parallel Rory having a little headache once with the Master's everlasting drum solo seems unlikely.
