Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Dortmun’s character arc from challenging the Dalek ultimatum in Episode 5 to his final, futile act of defiance in Episode 6 establishes his as an emblem of resistance. His execution outside the museum serves as a callback to his earlier dismissal of Dalek authority, reinforcing the theme of defiance despite overwhelming odds.
