Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events mark the Doctor’s recognition of alien presence and his strategic response to it. The jump from 1963 London anomalies to orbital surveillance underscores his shift from passive observation to active defense, maintaining thematic consistency about the Doctor’s need to 'see' the threat before countering it.
