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.

( Ten )
( Eleven )

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.
