The 26 foot Anaconda the scuba diver found and swam with.... When asked what he thought of it.... "At the first moment it's scary because you don't know the animal and everybody says it's dangerous, but after a while you understand that nothing happens if you respect the snake. I have never been so close to a snake like this before. But I think a small poisonous snake is more scary than a big one At least you can see the anacondas clearly and know what they're doing." Your response?
If you're going to be pedantic about it, it's actually you living to death after them sending you to some point in the past that kills you.
They can't kill you if you don't look away or blink. They're harmless while being observed, remember? That's not always the method. As Nate said, in "The Time of Angels" and "Flesh and Stone" the angels were more bent towards violent behavior.
Yeah, but that was the exception rather than the rule. In general, it's not the angel that kills you.
Good plot points don't need rules, today is not the day to find out why they have so many. In general, the angel will either snap your neck or send you back in time. Either way, said angel is your executioner. If I hold the gun and pull the trigger could you honestly say it wasn't me who killed the man? It wasn't me who did it, it was the impact of the bullet, correct? In general, that is what you're saying. So, generally speaking, I think you're wrong.
