Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"In 'Hollow Pursuits', Barclay's panicked response to engineering failures ('The tests... showed problems...') is mirrored by Wesley's eager but less experienced involvement in engineering tasks in 'Sarek'. Barclay's guilt and Wesley's enthusiasm serve as narrative callbacks."
