History Recap / BigFinishDoctorWhoSpecialsUNITDominion

* AscendedFanon: Ace's dangling fate after the series for years was interpreted as the Doctor grooming her to be trained on Gallifrey. Here the Doctor is travelling with Raine and he receives a message from Ace ... on Gallifrey.

** Dr. Klein is scientific advisor to Unit, something [[Creator/JonPertwee the Third]] Doctor was before her before he went [[Creator/TomBaker sauntering off]].

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The mysterious Future Doctor is actually the Master. There, we said it. Given that Alexander McQueen's been on a number of episode covers with "the Master" in the title by now, it's not really a secret anymore.

** HilariousInHindsight now that [[Creator/PeterCapaldi Peter Capaldi]] has been cast to replace [[Creator/MattSmith Matt Smith]]. [[labelnote:note]] That said, the regeneration did happen ''after'' Matt Smith's incarnation had aged a considerable degree - compared to when the regeneration began, Capaldi actually did look younger. The only reason he seemed to age was because the regeneration was taken slowly and rejuvenated him back to his previous youthfulness before he properly shifted over.[[/labelnote]]

--> '''Reine''': Maybe when you become like him, the Time-Lords [[LastOfHisKind won't be around any more]]?
--> '''The Doctor''': [[Recap/DoctorWho50thASTheDayOfTheDoctor Don't be ridiculous]]!
* NonMaliciousMonster: Several of the AlternateDimension creatures are just out of their own environment and don't undertand Earth and lash out in fear.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Maynard is absolutely ''terrified'' of spiders. Too bad there are gigantic AlternateDimension lava spewing horse sized spiders in this story.

* NotSoDifferent: The Doctor considers the similarities between himself and The Master, when speaking with Klein at the end.

--> '''Doctor''': TARDIS...''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin Terserus''...You...You're not ''me''.]]

* WhamLine: The end of episode 3:

--> '''Other Doctor''': ''Hello you''.

* DeadlineNews: John Star, the IntrepedReporter that has been around since the Other Doctor arrived, gets trod upon by one of the gigantic stag beetle like beings.

** Dr. Klein has weird Deja Vu's of [[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho025Colditz knowing a Johan]] before.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The Other Doctor is shown to be ever-so-slightly more selfish and callous than viewers are used to, which he claims is a result of his deciding to focus on [[TheNeedsOfTheMany saving the entire planet]] rather than the individuals around him. [[spoiler: But in reality, it's because he is known as The Master]].
** The Other Doctor describes Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart as a ''[[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors splendid fellow]]'', and hypnotizes people.

* NotSoDifferent: The Doctor considers the similarities between himself and [[spoiler: The Master]], when speaking with Klein at the end.
* TheNthDoctor: The {{Deuteragonist}} of the story (or tritagonist if you consider Klein). He apparently comes far from the Doctor's future, and so his memory of his past self's life is a bit sketchy - his personality is a mixture of Six's bravado and Three's distaste for military authority. [[spoiler: It's not an act. But he's not the Doctor]].
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: The Other Doctor considers his past self a clueless fool, while the Seventh Doctor finds his future self's cavalier attitude very off putting, and hard to trust. [[spoiler: With very good reason.]]

* TheReveal: Advertised expressly as a future incarnation of the Doctor, yet not played by Creator/{{Paul|McGann}}, Creator/{{John|Hurt}}, [[Creator/ChristopherEccleston Chris]], Creator/{{David|Tennant}}, Creator/{{Matt|Smith}} or [[Creator/PeterCapaldi the other Peter]], viewers knew ''some'' sort of revelation about the Other Doctor's origins was in the cards. [[spoiler:Of course, he's not the Doctor at all. He is the Master. Hello you.]]
* TakeThatMe:

-->'''Other!Doctor''': ''[to the Seventh Doctor]'' I made [[spoiler: my TARDIS look like yours]] because I needed everyone to think I... [[spoiler: was ''you'']]
--> '''Doctor''': [[spoiler: TARDIS...''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS14E3TheDeadlyAssassin Terserus]]''...You...You're not ''me''.]]

--> '''Doctor''': You're...[[spoiler: TheMaster]].

--> '''Doctor''': [[spoiler: You're not me, you're ... TheMaster]].
--> '''Other Doctor''': Hello you.

** HilariousInHindsight now that [[Creator/PeterCapaldi Peter Capaldi]] has been cast to replace [[Creator/MattSmith Matt Smith]].
