How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Dalek’s literal and symbolic 'immobilization' under the Doctor’s command in Part 3 (forcing obedience) mirrors the Daleks’ later infiltration of the Governor’s office in Part 4, where they 'serve' Bragen and Hensell while secretly controlling them."
