- cwillu 3y agoIt's a Doctor Who reference to the episode “Blink”, which introduces a villain race of statues that can move, but only when unobserved. Incoherent snippets of dialogue seen on a DVD turns out to be half of a conversation being had with a specific viewer in the future, a transcript of which goes back in time.

- cwillu 3y agoThe SCP page itself was created on 2008-07-25, while the episode aired on 2007-06-09, so it looks like the BBC was more like a year prior.
