Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events establish the core theme of this two-part story: the power of belief over reality. The Doctor's approach to myth—dismissing the unicorn, then the Medusa—demonstrates his intellectual continuity in how he engages with fictional creatures, despite the different settings (void darkness vs. labyrinth center).
