Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In The Daemons, the Doctor stands on the village green and explains to UNIT and the villagers that the Master's 'magic' is really science—psychokinetic energy generated by human emotions. In Day of the Daleks, the Doctor examines an alien weapon and explains its origins as an ultra-sonic disintegrator and a crude time machine, linking Earth-mined iron to alien craftsmanship. Benton listens attentively in both scenes, absorbing the Doctor's scientific demystification."
