Poll: What do you think of the character Danny Pink
2 of 4
He lacks.. something...I am just not quite sure what it is yet.
He seems nice enough but as the poll says he's a bit boring and I also didn't quite understand his almost instant animosity towards The Doctor. I get that The Doctor can seem odd (and rude) but most people in his position would be a little intrigued and want to find out more. Instead Danny virtually warning off Clara seemed forced and somewhat OTT. They've only been dating a few weeks.
He also lacks humour and his voice is a bit droning. I don't know, I just don't like him much yet. Hopefully I'll see what Clara apparently sees in him soon..

He's Clara's love interest.
Jenna is obviously leaving so this is the very long winded way of writing her out of the series.
It also gives another look from another angle of the Doctor's "is he a good guy?" theme running through this series.
Other than that he's pointless.

I didn't care for the ultimatum he gave Clara. It was too controlling.
The actor seemed to be channelling his other character from "I Was Murdered By My Boyfriend". In that programme he starts controlling every little aspect of his gf's life. Then he starts beating her, breaking her ribs, her nose. Eventually he beats her to death with an ironing board in front of their young daughter.
I just can't get that out of my mind when I see him 'canoodling' with Clara.

^ Its not the same actor. I thought it was too until I looked it up earlier tonight.
The two actors look almost identical! I made the same mistake.
EDIT:
I wonder what Capaldi's Doctor would do if Mr Pink did start beating Clara? Hmmm....

Scary thought, making Twelve angry I mean. He'd probably knock him out and put him in the tardis. Once he woke up, he'd push him out into a black hole while shouting "This is fur Claraaa!"

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!”

They only look alike insofar as they are both young black men... Other than that they're nothing like each other!
A truly terrible actor. He displays the worst acting I have ever seen on Nu Who. Even worse than Noel Clarke.
His and clara's relationship has been a bit too focussed on and to be honest, i am not bothered about them at all. I just want some action, great villians and a nice 40 minute escape.

Find him really dull, and zero chemistry with Jenna/Clara (hedging bets as not sure whether its actors, characters or writing. Or all three 
)
)
I haven't seen him in anything so it's hard to say what his acting is like but this character is annoying.
Surely and hopefully this has been done on purpose for us to not like him?

Moffat's damned anti-teacher agenda
Generally unimpressed so far, I think it has been a bit of average casting up to now. He has been given some bland material and lines to be fair. Wait and see.
Someone just posted this in another thread. I am still laughing so sorry........
I think he's absolutely fantastic, potentially the best companion since Donna.

sure but out of all the companions and co-companions to say he is the best out of everybody just shocks me to the core.
He was already known to be mentally unstable and now he's shown that he's a creep and potential abuser. They've only just started getting serious in their relationship and he's challenged her other friends and hurled abuse at them in their own homes, he's followed her around in secret and is now demanding that she account for all of her movements and justifies any time spent with a long-time friend.
I wouldn't want him dating my daughter.

Seems fine
But he's used to reflect a different POV on the Doctir and to be Clara bf and stuff
Rory was a bland Everyman type character
