I think I'm the only one tweaked about Danny calling him on his shit. Not that he got called on it, but the tone, the snap judgement kinda tweaked me. Though the Doctor being a dickhead...yeah, that didn't help. Danny tolerated that a little too long, but I would have liked him to call the Doctor out a little sooner. But the 'Time Lord' thing really got me. I think that's what tweaked me, really.
I don't feel Clara needs to have the Doctor's approval, but I do know he's been asking if she had a boyfriend, how did the date go, yadda-yadda and she has done nothing but dodge and lie, so I can see where he thought she assumed he wouldn't approve and so automatically, he wouldn't and really that whole mess was Clara's fault. Just the sneaky way she got Danny on the TARDIS spoke volumes for me. The soldier and knee-jerk assholish response to them should have been addressed LONG ago, but she never bothered to. And she lied all throughout Listen which I knew would come back and bite her in the ass.
I like Danny, I think he's awesome. And I think he and the Doctor would get along if they didn't have preset friction going. I did love the nostalgic references, but not the emotional abuse going around. From the Doctor, from Clara...and even from Danny. I did not like that conversation at the end. An ultimatum without (really) a broader perspective on the Doctor himself. I really wish those two would have a date forfucksake...
Meh. Other than the awkward and angry, this was a decent enough episode. But I already know the things I disliked no one else did and the things I LIKED very few others did...I'm just really pissed at Clara right now.
