Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events depict companions (Tegan, Nyssa) in unfamiliar, threatening environments where they must navigate physical and psychological dangers. In 'Snakedance,' Tegan's nightmare triggers the TARDIS's arrival on Manussa, while in 'Terminus,' Tegan and Turlough face an alien space liner's hazards."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This parallels the theme of companions experiencing disorienting, high-stakes environments under the Doctor's guidance, though the settings differ (ancient temple vs. derelict space liner). Both scenes reinforce the idea of being trapped in locations with hidden dangers that test their resilience.
