"The temporal anomaly in Episode 1 (which the Brigadier initially resists understanding) escalates into a widespread crisis in Episode 5 (a dinosaur incursion) that forces the Brigadier to adapt his protocols."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier's progression from resisting a temporal incursion to managing a city-wide martial-law emergency reflects the escalation of the stakes and the widening scope of the threats he faces. This mirrors the series' tendency to externalize internal tensions as increasingly global crises.
