Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both the missile and Sutekh are cosmic forces bent on reshaping reality. The Doctor fails to stop the missile; Sutekh succeeds in reshaping the Doctor. This parallel underscores Sutekh as the true existential threat, something the Doctor only begins to fully grasp when Sutekh uses the TARDIS systems against him.
