So why is it a concern that the monster will appear in two days (or, for that matter, in 20 seconds) when the Doctor would just have to travel to a different time, finish his work, then travel back and catch it? Time travel logic aside, I'm actually starting to really like Danny - I definitely understand the Doctor's prejudice against soldiers, but Danny brilliantly pointed out something that the Doctor has probably never fully accepted himself: that he not only dislikes soldiers because their main purpose is to threaten and destroy, and because they follow orders without question, but also because he wants to be the one to give those orders.
I love Clara and 12's dynamic, they have really good chemistry.
Jenna Coleman is the best companion actress there's been so far.
I liked Danny seeing the doctor for who he was in regards to a side of him that we hadn't fully seen before or shown in a negative way. An officer, a former soldier.
I liked Danny realizing the doctor was testing him at the end and if he was good enough for Clara.
I still don't like or buy Danny and Clara's relationship, but Danny improved a lot this episode, and i kinda like him now, and i like he was involved in the episode.
Clara trying to act like it was a play was funny, and how she kept lying to him.
And even though he knows the truth now, we know its probably not work going to work out. It almost never does with companions and family of companions. That's the side effect of traveling with the doctor.
The drug that is the doctor has got her, and it won't let go. Very few people have the strength to stop, to walk away from the doctor.
I like Clara, but she has an ego, juggling the two lives like she is. It's all an adventure, and because of what she's been through and how powerful the doctor is, she thinks everything is going to be okay, that he'll save and protect her. At the end of the episode she said he's never let her down. Oh how classically naive and starstruck she is.
Danny pointed something out, about how capable Clara was under the doctor's direction. 12 has committed a mistake 10 made. He did it because 11 didn't do it with Amy and Rory, and 12 can't see another way.
12, like 10, has fashioned his companion into a weapon.
I love it when the Doctor whistles "Another Brick in the Wall". ;-)
Well, that's 6 episodes with this new Doctor and I still don't like him. And as much as I miss Matt Smith's brilliance, my problem isn't actually Capaldi, it's the Doctor. Yes, Eleventh was crazy, hectic, impulsive, annoying more times than not, extremely secretive, he had the attention span of a toddler... but he also was joyful, always amazed by the tiniest things, and above all, he was caring, and kind. Now? Now he's just a jerk.

I really, reaaally dislike Danny. The actor plays that jelly, tragic warhero boyfriend terribly.
But most of all the relationship between him and Clara is so incredibly made up out of thin air, it feels totally artificial. So much so, that it annoys me seeing them together in scenes. And that's not because both are cringy together.
It's times like this I miss Amy. :(
