Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor's use of Cybermen vulnerabilities and manipulation in 'Attack of the Cybermen Part 2' (Vastial, sonic signals) escalates to the predatory hunger and cannibalistic instincts of Shockeye in 'The Two Doctors Part 1'. Both involve deadly exploitation of technological or biological systems for violent ends."
