Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Ice Warriors move from containment to active offensives with extreme violence—first sealing the Doctor inside, then ambushing miners in a narrow tunnel. This escalation reflects their failure to suppress resistance and their increasing desperation.
