Well, I can go away for a year or two, then turn up again doing something completely different, with a completely different set of rules, powers, abilities, limitations and wants. I guess that means I'm the Weeping Angels.
Seriously, I hated that thing. They didn't have a single bloody thing in common with the enemies from Blink. Not a single bloody thing.
I just remembered the "photo-becomes-an-angel" as something new. What else was there?
Angels all the way.
The Angels kill people instead of sending them back in time, they live together in a gigantic colony instead of spending their life alone, they can turn to stone at will instead of being forced to do it whenever someone see's them, they're immune to any form of harm while in stone instead of using it as camoflauge, they can fly for reasons that baffle me, they can hijack a persons voice to communicate over the radio - they didn't have a single thing in common with the original ones.
I believe the Angels can decide themselves when to kill and when to send back. At the end of Blink, the angel making a move for Sally didn't exactly look like it was going to send anyone back in time. If it would've , the key would've been send back along with her. Instead, it put up a "i'm so going to mess you up" face. Compare that to when it sends Kathy back in time during the begin, it looked pretty calm then.
Also, the Angels were all stuck in that colony because there was no one alive on the surface anymore, the whole two-headed race has been driven into extinction. Without space travel, there isn't much for them to do but wait. If the universe knows about their existence, a whole bunch of angelic statues standing on the surface of a barren planet gives of a pretty big "do not land" to any pilot, so hiding in that crypt might've been the only choice they had.
The other points I must agree with you though. Although using the voice of Bob gave us some insight in how they think, but the flight-thing also made me go 'wut'.
