Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate

The narrative assertion
"Geordi's engineering skepticism in both episodes centers on whether leadership is 'following orders too blindly'—first with Ro Laren, then with Marr's reluctance to trust Data's gamma scan proposal."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
