Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection traces the Doctor's evolving understanding of the Sensorites' capabilities from awareness to active resistance. His diagnosis of Maitland's paralysis as Sensorite-induced fear ('fear gives the Sensorites a chance to control it') is a direct application of his previous discovery.
