Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s earlier strategic assessment of the cooling shaft’s challenges hints at his evolving tactics later. His realization that verticality is a weakness for the Daleks (due to their mobility) leads him to adopt a horizontal, disguised approach, demonstrating adaptive thinking.
