Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
David’s detailed account of the Daleks' systematic conquest in Episode 5 (cosmic plague, Robomen, mining operations) provides narrative foreshadowing for the resistance’s tactical failures and retreat in Episode 6. The escalation from ideological explanation to real-world disaster emphasizes the Daleks' systemic dehumanization and the resistance’s fragility.
