Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

This connection carries the theme of ingenuity under oppression and the escalation from physical survival (disarming a bomb in a desolate London) to strategic survival (arming a rebellion against the Moroks). The Daleks and Moroks serve as parallel oppressive forces, with the companions increasingly applying tactical problem-solving to overcome them.
