Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's declaration 'He's got to be stopped! He must be stopped!' against the Monk's 'improvements' mirrors his skeptical engagement with Maaga's claim that the Rills must be obliterated. The Doctor consistently opposes those who would sacrifice others or history itself for their own vision.
