Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's challenge to Dalek supremacy (shown by his refusal to accept their claim to Earth) directly mirrors Barbara and the resistance's refusal to accept Dalek occupation in Episode 6. Both events demonstrate increasing defiance despite escalating danger.
