Blink's story wasn't all that complex. It was just well-crafted and suspenseful. It's also an episode which deals with a small cast of people who don't know what's going on, which makes them more dangerous.
The planet of them being foiled comes down as much to luck as anything. Though honestly, it's not like I'm in love with the episodes. Part of what made them so good was they were commonplace. Take that away, the thought thatthye could be anywhere, and put them in a place where every statue is an angel, and it's less effective.
Still, it does have the benefit of putting the Doctor on the defensive for most of two episodes in a way we've rarely seen in the revived series. It's not wholly unique, but it is kind of cool for that.
Still, majorly hoping they manage to do more "blink" with the new eps. Because if we've gotta have the Angels, let's make them cool.

I attempted to shed the impression I gave that is a better Doctor, Tennant in my opinion I enjoyed the most so far and Eccleston was only a season, Smith not even half so he has time to sway me.
I immediately liked Tennant, so perhaps that's why I liked him better.
I think we agree about the angels, they were so badass and the thought of them anywhere and anytime made them scary. Knowing there are hundreds if not thousands of them for some weird reason makes them less scary.
As for the episode, the end is how the episode began. How he figured out how to otsmart the angels. It really was a brilliant story with an amazing twist and I believe it was nominated for several awards as well.
Lastly, I have searched IMDB and there are few tv episodes rated that high or were as well received
