I hope it was the universe while I love him, I don’t like the idea of the Doctor being hailed as some Godlike being. I’m not totally sure whether Rusty was referring to the universe itself or the Doctor’s soul when it saw beauty and ‘endless divine perfection’. The Doctor’s desperation to make Rusty stay ‘good’ passes on to the audience and I spent most of the episode rooting for Rusty to end up rolling through a field of daisies, happily spinning his whisk in a non-lethal way. Then he goes so far as to link minds with Rusty to show him a different perspective on the universe. At first, he thinks agreeing to try and fix the Dalek (nicknamed Rusty, which helps humanise the Dalek’s otherwise impassive façade) might make him good. The Doctor is still finding his feet and this episode is all about ascertaining whether he’s a good man. My fears turned out to be unfounded: Clara seems to be very comfortable with the Doctor now, even though he left her stranded in Glasgow and disappeared for three weeks. You’re one of my hobbies.’ That remark came off as a little harsh, and I worried that Clara would still be in her regeneration funk for this episode. When they were in the TARDIS, Clara told the Doctor, ‘You’re not my boss. I’m also happy because this means that we may be getting what I hoped for this season, and what last episode kind of promised: a friendship between the Doctor and his companion not clouded with romantic feelings.īefore Clara can go out on her maybe-date with Danny, the Doctor shows up three weeks late with Starbucks coffee that should surely be cold given he’s been holding it for the last few scenes and who knows how long before that. I already like his character and his face so I’m happy to see more of him. It looks like Danny is going to end up as Clara’s love interest, and I’m all for it. Danny challenges gender roles wonderfully: he showed deep remorse over his actions in combat, shedding a solitary tear when asked by a student if he killed anyone other than soldiers and, although he’s dubbed a ‘lady killer’, he’s adorably awkward and shy when Clara invites him out, forcing her to take the reins. Danny is an ex-soldier who is now teaching Maths at Coal Hill. We get our first glimpse of Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson) in this episode, and he has a very nice face indeed. Clara is back at home and at work as an English teacher at Coal Hill School.
