Doctor Who can be hard for people to get if they don't know how to treat it. Stephen Moffet summed it up perfectly in the Confidential for the last episode when he said he considered it "fairy tale" which is exactly what it is. Sometimes it's grim, sometimes glorious, sometimes highly technical but never quite... Real... And all the better for it.
As for Karen... Well, she's certainly extremely quite, albeit very young, and I'm liking the character so far but... He's anchient (Stephen Moffet says he lies about his age and is much older than he says), deeply traumatised, infinitly intelectually superior and never stays in one place for more than a few days (in order for Rose to get to settle down with him they have a make a copy!) so I really don't see it as ever that kind of relationship. Perhaps it is more like trying to recapture the child/children he has lost?
