Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The imprisonment of Jamie and a Redcoat in Episode 36 (The War Games Part 2) parallels the Doctor and Zoe's forced lecture hall attendance in Episode 38 (The War Games Part 4). Both episodes emphasize the fabricated nature of their reality and the powerlessness of the characters within the War Lord's system.
