Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's warning that Sutekh's servant, Scarman, cannot control the TARDIS reveals a consistent trait of the Doctor's character: relying on his knowledge of the TARDIS's capabilities (isomorphic controls) as a narrative constant. This trait recurs when the Doctor must outmaneuver Sutekh through the TARDIS's time control."
