Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s casual dismissal of the TARDIS’s malfunction ('Nonsense, child') in 'Inferno' escalates into a full-blown planetary trap in 'The Web Planet,' where the threat is immediate, external, and survival-critical."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This represents a tonal and peril escalation. The Doctor's confidence erodes into crisis, and the playful TARDIS controls become a death trap. The shift from Nero's arena to an alien planet underscores the Doctor's loss of control over his environment.
