Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Gravis's vow of vengeance in Frontios sets the stage for the Doctor's continued encroachment on alien tyranny. The Time Corridor crisis in Resurrection mirrors the Tractator threat—both involve extradimensional forces attempting to manipulate or destroy the TARDIS as a proxy for controlling time and space. The Doctor's physical strain in the TARDIS reflects his ongoing battle against tyrannical forces, now operating at a cosmic scale.
