Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Russell's pattern of hostile confrontation with the Doctor when he perceives betrayal recurs across episodes. In the War Games, he joins the prisoners turning on the Doctor; in Attack of the Cybermen, he confronts the Doctor with a knife, expressing distrust."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection shows how Russell's experience of being betrayed by the Doctor (or believing so) in the War Games has ingrained a deep-seated distrust that resurfaces when he encounters the Doctor again in a different context. It highlights his cautious and confrontational nature, a trait that persists despite his eventual cooperation.
