Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's exposure of Jaeger's true atmospheric project as a tool for colonization (Episode 16) parallels the revelation that 'firestorms' on Solos are a natural (not divine) atmospheric phenomenon the Overlords exploit (Episode 17)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both episodes dismantle illusions of Overlord benevolence: Episode 16 reveals atmospheric 'terraforming' as genocide; Episode 17 reveals 'divine wrath' as natural danger manipulated by the Overlords. This reinforces the thematic thread of colonial powers distorting science and nature for control.
