Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's forensic challenge to the lizards' size ('how a creature twenty feet high came through that door') recalls his later challenge to Norton's hostility toward primitives ('Weren't your primitives like that?'), reinforcing his consistent role as an outsider challenging colonial prejudices."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights the Doctor's role as a consistent disruptor of colonial myths, whether about 'giant lizards' or 'savage primitives.' His skepticism bridges the two episodes, tying together the initial threat (creatures) and the colonists' internal threat (Norton).
