Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's identification of the murdered helmeted man's high-frequency radio helmet in Episode 4 foreshadows the Daleks' use of technology to control humans (e.g., the Robomen). The technological sophistication of the helmet mirrors the Daleks' own advanced, dehumanizing technology."
