Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The theme of 'rogue actors exploiting systems' bridges both episodes: Moriarty (a hologram who hijacks program controls) and Okona (a human whose vessel exhibits navigational anomalies) disrupt the Enterprise's ordered systems through unorthodox means, challenging Data's and the crew's confidence in sensor accuracy and protocol.
