Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

In Part 3, Salamander uses written propaganda to control perception. In Part 5, the Doctor’s disguise as Salamander symbolically inverts this power dynamic: identity itself becomes the weapon and the deception. This reflects a deeper theme of manufactured reality.
