Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ortron’s refusal to comply with Azaxyr’s demands (e.g., not ordering troops to kill Peladonians) callbacks his earlier refusal to obey Thalira’s orders or the Doctor’s attempts to contact Gebek. His rigid traditionalism persists despite changing power structures.
