Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor’s desire to leverage advanced minds (Preslin) in Episode 22 mirrors his earlier use of the time destructor, both times prioritizing scientific or tactical advantage over companionship, echoing the Doctor’s strategic mindset from Episode 21."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events highlight the Doctor’s tendency to engage with powerful machines or brilliant minds as solutions to crises (time destructor in Episode 21, Preslin in Episode 22). His urgency and focus on these solutions consistently outweigh concern for his companions, creating a thematic echo across episodes.
