Theory

The Gist of It

The Weeping Angels are Timelords.

Full Summary

This theory claims that the Weeping Angels are actually Timelords. The explanation of when and how varies. Some say they are evolved Timelords, some say they are Timelords who have fallen into disgrace, and others say that they are dead Timelords. [1] _{Note: The following analysis will focus on the second version of the theory, which is the most popular. The other two will be dealt with as sub-theories.}

Evidence

 

Counter-Evidence

'In the End of Time the leader of the Timelords states: "The vote is taken, only two stand against and will stand as monument to their shame: like the Weeping Angels of old!" (36 minutes into End of Time part 2) And the two Timelords standing behind him are covering their eyes like the Weeping Angels.' [1]	A plausibility scale rating would go here.	“*Like* the weeping angels of old”. Rassilon was merely employing simile. [1]|	{{{a PS counter rating*}}}
The Doctor states that the Weeping Angels are from the beginning of the universe, and the two weeping Timelords get sent back to the beginning of the universe in the same episode [1]	{{{another PS rating*}}}	The Doctor states that nobody knows where they come from, Since he already knows who the weeping angels are, that would require a timeloop, and there is no evidence of one. [1]</nowiki>	{{{another PS counter rating*}}}
Timelords and Weeping Angels both have the ability to manipulate time. [1]	{{{yet another PS rating*}}}	That is just one similarity, and there are many more dissimilarities. [1]	{{{yet another PS counter rating*}}}

4 In "The Five Doctors" the Timelords turn the character Borosa into a statue to grant him immortality, and at the same time two statues come to life, seemingly released from the same bondage [1] [11]. This establishes that the Timelords are able to turn each other into statues [11].	{{{a PS rating*}}}	{{{a Counter*}}}	{{{a PS counter rating*}}}

Rebuttals to Counter-Points

Answering counter-argument 2:

The Doctor Lies, and 'If "angelification" were a punishment among timelords, then it would not require a time loop explanation' [1]. Also, not knowing how something originated sure sounds like what usually happens with timeloops.
