Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes feature the Doctor confronting an unnatural, 'alien' intrusion—Morbius, a resurrected Time Lord war criminal, and the Krynoid pod, an extraterrestrial plant organism. The Doctor’s role as the one who diagnoses the true nature of the threat is consistent."
