Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor and companions face a supernatural entity exercising totalitarian control (psychic paralysis), while in Underworld Part 2, Rask's regime employs brutal institutional violence (trogg punishment) to suppress dissent. This parallels the theme of oppressive systems maintaining power through fear and force.
