Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Rudge’s dismissive rejection of the Doctor’s warning about a 'greater menace' (beat_71aa6f953efd72a2) mirrors the Valeyard’s rejection of the Doctor’s moral defensibility at trial (beat_271507a9e11b47e3). Both represent power structures (the hijacker’s selfishness, the Valeyard’s accusatory judgment) that refuse to acknowledge systemic threats until it is too late."
