Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier dismisses the Cybermen as 'fakes' (Part 6) and later admits to despair over the radio blackout ('madness, I can't afford to let you take that risk') (Part 7). This thematic parallel underscores the theme of institutional blindness and the cost of distrust.
