Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor’s skepticism of external control systems (first aimed at the Great Intelligence's puppetry, then at the World Computer) suggests a developing distrust of automation, foreshadowing his eventual conflict with the Ice Warriors’ control over Mars in later episodes.
