the_deep_magic: A nightmare inexplicably torn from the pages of Kafka! (DW - it are fact)

Remember when I said I was gonna watch Doctor Who?  And then I watched Doctor Who, and then I said I was going to write about watching Doctor Who?  Well, this is that.

So, I am all up to date on nu!Who (including this current season, because the intertubez are amazing).  I shall divide my commentary up by Doctor to attempt to force some kind of rudimentary structure on my thoughts.  Also, I should have been writing this as I went along, because I started watching in... May?  And finished season six at the beginning of August?  And a shit-ton of Life Stuff has happened since then, so don't expect, like, scholarly analysis.  Spoilers for each, obviously.

And some minor spoilers for the current season )

Okay, I probably left out about a million things I meant to say, but I've been writing this for too long.  One general question I did have: DW (and Torchwood, to some extent) features a lot of interracial romantic relationships.  Are they more common in the UK than in the US, or was this a choice on the part of the writers/producers/whoever?  (Yes, I do live in the South, but Florida and Georgia actually have the same percentage of interracial marriages as New York, and actually more than a lot of the New England states, so it's not Segregationville.)  Anyway, it just jumped out as different to me (in a good way) and I wondered if it was a conscious choice or a reflection of different demographics.
