Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Daleks' genocidal directive in Episode 9 ('Alter the command frequencies to aural control to all Robomen. They are to herd humans down to the lower galleries.') transitions into their existential obsession with the Doctor in Episode 29 ('They will be exterminated! Exterminated! Exterminated!'). This shows the Daleks' unrelenting hostility evolving from planetary elimination to personal vendetta across episodes.
