Synopsis

From wikipedia

Continuing from the cliffhanger of the previous episode, the destruction of the gravity globe allows the Doctor, Amy, Dr. River Song, and Father Octavian and his clerics to jump into the localised gravity well of the starship Byzantium and escape the horde of approaching Weeping Angels. The Angels follow them into the ship, where the Doctor directs everyone into the ship's oxygen factory, a forest contained within the starship. Before leaving the secondary control room, the Doctor observes a growing, familiar crack, the same one from Amy's bedroom ("The Eleventh Hour"), and determines that it is leaking time energy from which the Angels are currently feeding.

The second part not only maintains the momentum of the earlier Angels adventure with the angels chasing the Doctor and friends but the story interacts with the "cracks in time," story arc from Series 5. The Doctor and Amy both shine with the Doctor showing a slightly rougher grumpy side while Amy is put through her paces. The big plot twist at the end is genuinely clever and surprising.

The only thing that hurts this one are Amy's attempts to come on to the Doctor at the end of the story. Otherwise, this is a very well-produced story that's an example of Series 5 at its best.
