Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The detection of an anomalous second ship entering the swamp (human observers misinterpreting an alien craft) parallels the finale where the Doctor, an outsider, paddles a canoe into the same swamp—both acts are perceived with suspicion and violence (Fenner shoots at the Doctor; the Swampies chant for Kroll). Misjudgment of outsiders transcends sides."
