Poll: What do you think of the character Danny Pink
1 of 4
All right in small doses but very dull in this. No idea what Clara supposedly loves in him because he's not got much of a personality. And his ultimatum to her at the end was a rather shitty way of handling a relationship.
Like the idea of the character. But not portrayed particularly well in my opinion. He just needs a bit more oomph.

Lol stop sitting on the fence and say what you think.
But I agree what does she like in him. He seems cold. Seems to have a past problem. Jumps all the time. And talks like he is wearing a brace.
Seems kinda cheesy to me.
It's kind of interesting the way so many people are getting upset at the writers over all the "anti soldier" rhetoric that the Doctor is spouting while, at the same time, apparently ignoring the fact that they've also written in a character who's a soldier and is probably going to disprove all the Doctor's prejudices.
Trouble is, they seem to be doing it rather clumsily so far.

He's got more of a real personality than Clara had after the same amount of episodes but I feel like our proper 'getting to experience him' will always be on hold until we actually get to see him on an actual TARDIS adventure. If we don't see him at all on a TARDIS adventure then I feel that ultimately he will be a forgotten footnote in the history of the show, but if he does start traveling we will actually get to see what he can do and why we should take to him he could potentially be so much more.

I'm listening loud and clear. It always seems that Jenna is having to do the acting for both of them in their scenes.
He's bland and sounds broken most of the time.

As far as I know he never does. Sam Anderson said in interview he's not actually a companion. He's also was surprised to hear that

Danny is awful, not sure if it's deliberate writing or very poor acting, but he comes off as a bit of an abusive partner who wants to control everything Clara does, and when he's not being a judgmental psycho he's just dull.
Glad there is a thread on this .
Do not like the character at all, I really hope this is going somewhere, because he is ruining it for me.

Danny Pink seems like another version of The Doctor that The Doctor doesn't know, the soldier version, the protective of Clara, the every day version, not just the travelling Doctor who takes her for journeys but the always there Doctor.
I thought he was okay until tonight's episode.
Tonight he came across like an immature idiot.
He knows men like the doctor? He's served with them? As I said in the main episode thread. How many 2000 year old aliens has he met? The Doctor has spent how many millennia fighting wars? The time war and trenzalore to name two. But Danny knows all about men like him because he spent a few years in the army. Erm. Okay. Moron.
He knows nothing of the Doctor and how the Doctor came to be the man he is. Yet he makes massive assumptions because The Doctor didn't automatically think he was the bees knees. Because the Doctor wants the best for Clara.
He can't across as childish, immature and generally like an idiotic know it all.
And as above. He came across as very controlling and not liking the fact that there's a massive part of Clara's life that he has no control over at all.

I find him boring and he has to be the most boring Maths teacher I have ever seen no wonder the Doctor didn't believe he was a Maths teacher.

I dislike Danny but not because he is a bad character, just because he is pretty unlikable.
He is lacking in personality a bit like Clara though, they go well together.

Did anyone think that somersault he did was rather impressive as in even a gold medallist Olympic gymnast couldn't pull off?
Maybe Danny has had a bit of work done and he's not all human any more cybernetics has a running theme this year (Half face -Psi)

He's the spitting image of the abusive BF image from the harrowing domestic abuse drama ‘Murdered By My Boyfriend’.

I actually thought it was the same actor until I looked it up tonight. The similarity is uncanny!
In fact, every time Danny is alone with Clara, all I can think is, “Get away from him before he beats you to death with the ironing board!”
