DW: The Architects of History

Hey Guys,

welcome the 132nd Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘The Architects of History’ with the seventh Doctor and Klein. The story takes place in 2044 in an alternate reality. Klein used the TARDIS to build a new Reich by creating new time lines again and agin until she likes it.

The web of time

Klein is using the TARDIS to eliminate traitors or other threats before they come up. She abusive the power she got. She had built a new Reich but it is never quiet right so she never stops. But in this story so many things happen that she hadn’t seen in the future. There are two ‘rebels’ that worked against Klein. We have the Doctor in a cell and three big ships of the Selachians. But the biggest problem for Klein is that the TARDIS gets destroyed.

The dark in the people

This story shows us again new sides of Klein. Who she is and who she became to get want she wants and never quiet get it. But we also get to see the darkest sides of the Doctor. How he manipulated and make alliance with people he shouldn’t. It even makes the Doctor uneasy. He doesn’t want to be this person. But in the end it is him. It is a part of him and he can’t erase it. He can and most likely will fight against this side over and over again.

Listen or not

I love it. The fight inside the Doctor. He wants to save everyone but he also need to repair the damage Klein did and he can’t do both. It is great. Klein and the Doctor trying to out smart each other. Both always on their heals to be not manipulate by the other. It is a really good story to end the story around Klein.

DW: Survival of the Fittest

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 131st Big Finish Main Range Adventures ‘Survival of the Fittest’ with the seventh Doctor and Klein. Before we get the main story there is a short story about Kleins history. We find out what let to the events of ‘Colditz‘ and give us an idea of what had happened in this story. This story takes place in 1962 and 1965 in Klein alternate timeline. The ‘Survival of the Fittest’ is placed around the year 2440.

Kleins Story

We get the story behind Klein. So even without ‘Colditz‘ you understand the story and her. You get a really good take on her character in this story. I really like it that we get so much time on her back story. We find out how she come to use the TARDIS and what Johann Schmitt had to do with all of it. The story not just give us a great picture of her, it also shows us a side of the Doctor that I love and many people like to ignore. His dark side.

The Vrill and Winterlack

The Doctor and Klein arrive in a cave and find a species that is like big insects that communicate by smell. Thank god that the TARDIS can even translate this language. The Vrill have two big problems. The first is a Vrill warrior that kills everything in his way also the new hatchlings. The second is the winterlack. Nor Klein or the Doctor know what the winterlack are but it killed so many of the vrill. It seems like only 4 Vrill have survived the winterlack.

On their own

To call Klein a great companion would be wrong, but she is amazing and really interesting. She can analyse a situation and knows to hold herself against the unknown. You never quiet know what she is up to and if the concern for the Vrill is true. It is really hard to tell if she learnt or just waits. But that makes her such a great addition. The Doctor is way trusting even with not trusting her.

Listen or not

I really like this story. The story around Klein is really interesting and can’t wait to see how this all works out. Also the Vrill are really sweet. The name giving is great. Butterfly for a warrior this is so the Doctor. Let’s go and listen to this great story.

DW: A Thousand Tiny Wings

Hey Guys,

welcome to the 130th Big Finish Main Range Adventure ‘A Thousand Tiny Wings’ with the 7th Doctor. He is on his own. The story takes place in Kenia 1952. 5 women are hiding in an old farmhouse from the Mau Mau Uprising. One of this women is someone the Doctor knows from a past adventure with Ace. In ‘Colditz’ he had met Doctor Klein and here she is again in the life of the Doctor.

Doctor Klein

I haven’t listen to ‘Colditz’ yet. She comes from an alternative timeline and worked for the Nazis. From her view the Doctor destroyed the right timeline and wants to change it back. She has quite interesting view of the world. The Dynamic between the Doctor and Klein is great. She is not one of the people who look up to the Doctor or believe that he is a good man. No she sees him as manipulating and arrogant. She not that wrong. That is actually why I love the 7th Doctor. He is really good in manipulating people.
She is really intelligent and she cares about people. There are two world views crashing and it totally is the reason the story works so well.

Injured alien

The five women find an injured alien and bring him into the farmhouse. It is great who these women work with each other and are so different in her ways of seeing the world and the way the deal with it. Denise is one of my favorite. She saves the alien and gives him a name. She believes that just because everyone is acting crazy you still act like an english person. So one moment she holds a reveal in the face of the Doctor and the next she is inviting him for tea.

The mysterious death

Next to the Mau Mau uprising and the alien the Doctor and the five women have to deal with mysterious death. The victim is covered with tiny little stretch. It is amazing who all the part of the story work so well together. The characters work so well together with all there quarrel and different views. Also it is interesting to see the change in the people. I am really excited to listen to the other stories with the Doctor and Klein.
