My bet is that he is the girl Pink's 'dead' brother from episode 2, working for Missy, or an undercover agent/soldier for UNIT keeping tabs on Clara as she might be some sort of threat.

I had high hopes for Clara, then she fell for a PE teacher and ruined her character. Clara with Mr Boring, I think not.

I only just realised that there are only two episodes left. This Danny Pink stuff has been a real drag.

So I have finally watched the recent episode and had reserved my right to change my opinion on Danny Pink re: his acting versus slightly 'dull' character as per earlier post debate.
My conclusion is this - I actually preferred Danny Pink in this episode much more than precious ones. It was Clara that I disliked but again I think I am meant to. Clara was very formulaic in that her was character was almost oblivious to the needs of the children in the forest - whereas Danny's character wasn't. We see again - Clara being aloof and somewhat lacking in her awareness of others needs around her. Why is that? She seems almost clinical with regards to her actions and interest in space and time travelling enough to lie a lot to those around her. Whereas, Danny seemed a little more attentive to the children's needs. Obviously down to a survival instinct being a 'soldier'. I think there are suggestions throughout there that Danny is holding back a lot - again. I continue to find his character intruiguing but understand that so far into the series a little more 'reveal' on his character could help viewers - give them a bit more direction with his character. I don't think there is poor acting with regard to Danny's character. I really think that on the whole - both Danny & Clara's characters are confusing at the moment. And some reveal as to why is needed soon. |

Well he MUST be related to UNIT and my feeling is he kills Clara because of the doctor and he is from a different time.
But it is against British law to go undercover and have sex with your target. That could also be why he doesn't want to travel with the Doctor - doesn't want to blow his cover. |

I have to disagree about Amy and Rory. I always thought Amy was very cold with Rory and acted like she was his superior.

Because Danny Pink is a maths teacher. |

The main problem I have with the storyline is that we're just about at the end of the series, and it feels like the whole thing has only just started. They spent so long getting them together, then they've rushed them to being in love, and now the series is nearly over and I'm guessing we're supposed to care about them as a couple? I've never liked Clara very much, the impossible girl stuff began to grate very quickly, but in this series her relationship with Danny has taken up far too much space and become just an annoyance. Get rid of them both and given the Doctor a companion who can share his adventures rather than take up so much time each episode in long winded romance storylines that are either tedious or rushed.

The only way to get a companion what would just have adventurers with The Doctor would be to say they had no family or friends or anything else. I think the last few years have been great for that with Clara she goes to her job she goes home to sleep she sees her family and has a life outside of The Doctor. As much as I hated Amy (and thought Rory was great) at least they did show they had a home and friends and family. |

Danny doesn't need to be exciting. He doesn't need to show off, or win the girl, or show Clara something she's never seen before, or be a Sontaran-cloned time agent from his own past. He also doesn't need to mug for the camera, or have comedy moments so we feel sorry for him.
Whereas the Doctor is reckless and exciting, Danny is dependable and responsible. Where the Doctor sees a puzzle to be solved, Danny sees people that need to be protected. Where the Doctor sees an army to be fought, Danny sees wells that need dug. To be a teeny bit sexist for a moment, Danny is what woman say they want, and the Doctor is what they actually find themselves unable to give up. |

Or maybe an alien for a change, we havn't had too many of them and none recently. |

I really think there is a reason why Danny is 'dull' or 'boring' as some people think. I imagine what will be portrayed more in future episodes - is the contrast and similarities between Danny Pink's character and the doctor.
Danny doesn't want to travel on the tardis. Why? Either he has something to hide innocuous or not. Being a 'soldier' naturally he does not want to have anymore confrontation? He has had enough of war. In this respect, he is very much similar to the doctor who himself prefers to resist combat and seek reconciliation. Differences highlighted in an earlier post between the doctor and Danny - I find quite interesting. Here we could see a relationship emerge between the two that could work quite well 'opposites attract' sort of thing, complimenting each other. We have seen moments of an 'angry' and 'confrontational' Danny and I hope this is explored more without Clara. I don't think his character is a waste of time by any means. I just think (and hope) that Danny is not the 'bore' and develops further. I believe there is a chance that Danny isn't completely human and again this would most likely explain a lot with regards to his character development. If by the end of the series we don't know a little bit more about Danny which helps to change this perspective of him being a 'bore' - I will be disappointed I guess. If I am right - then I would be happy to see him be the companion of the Doctor (pre-requistie - without Clara). |

Maybe we can just accept they're able to call or visit home between adventures? It could be mentioned in passing without us needing to see or hear.
