Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Aridians' dismissal as 'unimportant' by Dalek 2 in Episode 31 is mirrored by the brigantine crew's dismissal to the Daleks in Episode 32—treated as mere obstacles to the TARDIS hunt. Lifeforms as expendable resources is a shared theme."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes expose the Daleks' view of other lifeforms as tools or irrelevancies. The Aridians' dismissal and the brigantine crew's mass abandonment reinforce the Daleks' dehumanized perspective.
