Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection carries Professor Sorenson's core tragic flaw — his prioritization of science over safety — across the episode boundary. His defiance of evacuation warnings in Part 1 (Act 2) evolves seamlessly into his defiance of Salamar’s military authority in Part 2 (Act 1), forming a consistent trajectory of scientific hubris that drives the escalating disaster.
