"The Marshal forces the Doctor to work on a terraforming machine that will kill Solonian natives, while Styre conducts lethal experiments on humans under the Marshal's authority, both representing systematic oppression through scientific/technological means."

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both episodes feature the Marshal (directly or through a subordinate) using technology and scientific experimentation as tools of genocide/oppression. The Marshal's methods in Episode 20 (atmosphere machine) parallel Styre's experiments in Episode 10 (G3 assessment), showing the same ruthless utilitarian approach to life.
