I dislike Danny because of the way he mischaracterizes the relationship between Clara and the Doctor. He sees them together a few times and suddenly he has the whole dynamic worked out, and he is so sure the Doctor is bad for Clara. Even after learning that the Doctor is her best friend he still tries to get Clara to see the Doctor in a negative light. They never bothered to get to know each other, they’re both working off of preconceptions based on the others role, and its frustrating. -Anonymous
But in that case, doesn’t Twelve equally deserve criticism? Even after hearing Danny died, he says to Clara “And?” Which can obviously be interpreted several ways, but I don’t think he was particularly pro-Danny/Clara…
Plus, I can kind of forgive Danny for seeing the Doctor completely in a negative light: Danny only really knows him as “that spaceman who keeps showing up, putting everyone in danger, insulting me and making my girlfriend upset and angry”. Maybe things would have changed if Danny had lived, but….
