Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Episode 6, the group's radiation sickness and the Doctor's frantic search for a cure establish survival as a central theme. In Episode 7, Susan's passionate advocacy for the Thals' survival (despite their captivity) mirrors the group's own struggle, showing a parallel in how different races (humans and Thals) face annihilation.
