Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Steven's critique of the Drahvin ship ('Old-fashioned... inferior metal') in Episode 2 stems from his observation of their rigid, militaristic society in Episode 1. This arc traces Steven's growing independence from the Doctor's authority.
