Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The sense of urgency created by Pulaski's deadline ('hours') in Ep19 (Antedians rousing) parallels Data's compressed timeline ('15 hours') in Ep20 (T'Ong intercept)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events establish tight deadlines that drive bridge crew behavior. In Ep19, the Antedians' awakening forces immediate strategic decisions. In Ep20, the T'Ong's ETA creates a ticking clock, maintaining the tension of limited time for contemplation or avoidance.
About Causal Connections
