Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both scenes tie the Doctor's role as a disruptor of oppressive systems, whether they are planetary (Captain's trophies) or cosmic (time dams). This reinforces his character arc as a champion against extractive power structures.
