I thought that the Doctor was especially cute in the beginning of the episodes in the scenes with just him and Maeve :)

And I saw a comment elsewhere wondering if some of us are finding it hard to click with Danny because he seems so hostile to the Doctor and so hostile to the concept of travelling in space and time, so in a way he's criticising everything that the viewers do appreciate about the show, and viewers are going to take it personally when he acts like Clara is being a little bit childish and hasn't she grown out of wanting to travel with the Doctor. And that made a lot of sense to me actually lol, presumedly they went to set him up as a counterpoint to the Doctor, and Clara thus being torn between the two of them, but all we the viewer ever see is the appeal of travelling with the Doctor, Danny's lack of imagination can't really compete with that

And yeah opposites attract to an extent, but Clara and Danny seem to want completely different things out of life. Even in this episode, Clara is getting excited about looking into what the mystery of the trees mean, while Dannt is solely concerned with looking after the children and has no interest in any of that. Which again is fine, but does it really work for a shared life goal when Clara has this huge fascination with the wonders of the universe and seeing what's out there?
