Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events explore the theme of structural violence tied to the colonial relationship with primitives—Norton’s distrust and exclusion of the primitive in Episode 16 mirrors the IMC’s instrumentalization of primitive spaces for control and elimination in Episode 17. This highlights the colony’s deep-seated systemic issues.
