Whoniverse: Biracial Couples

[sariagray]

Just a quick thought that struck me as I was on getting ready for work.

Why do biracial couples fare so terribly in the Whoniverse?

The first one I thought of was Martha and Tom. Why did she end up marrying Mickey when she was engaged to Tom? Huh.

Which obviously leads me to think of Rose and Mickey. That didn't work out, now did it?

And Martha's dad with his new girlfriend; that never pans out.

Oh! And Donna with her conniving fiancé. Poor Donna.

Torchwood takes it a step further.

First, we have Ianto and Lisa. Yep. That goes smashingly, doesn't it?

Then, as a bit of a sidebar, Beth and Mike. Stabbity-stab.


I know it's probably, ya know, not intentional. Right? But it seems so odd. What are your thoughts? Is there a successful biracial couple anywhere in the Whoniverse?

You're right; I also don't really think it's intentional. It just...stands out a bit.

I admit that I didn't get past season four of DW because...well, honestly, because I put my Netflix on hold. But this gives me a little bit of hope.

I also agree with the whole idea of relationships being particularly disastrous in the franchise overall. It doesn't help that everyone is so very much damaged.
