Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Keller machine's sensitivity to 'concentrated evil' in Mailer parallels how Earth security sees the Doctor and Jo as Draconian agents based on perceived malice, not truth. Both situations involve characters being judged by a surface-level detection of 'evil' or threat."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces a thematic thread about how power structures (the Keller machine, Earth security) detect and respond to perceived evil, often misreading innocence in the process. It shows the Doctor moving from observing a machine's flawed judgment to being a target of flawed human judgment.
