Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 18, Jackson is stripped of control when the Doctor overrides him during the crash landing, yet he follows orders and accepts the situation. In Episode 20, Jackson asserts control by refusing the Doctor’s humanitarian demands, showing a continuity in Jackson’s belief in mission priority over survival or morality.
