Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The transition from armed humans (guards) to disguised Cybermen as antagonists represents a direct escalation in threat level. This mirrors the Doctor's own escalating warnings - from 'you're in the wrong time period' in Episode 5 to 'the planet is attacking you' in Episode 6.
