Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve the Dalek Strategic Command's role: in the trial, the Doctor condemns the Time Lords' inaction while the Daleks act; in the later episode, the Supreme Dalek Black demonstrates decisive command, contrasting with the passive Time Lords."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The theme of action versus inaction is central: the Doctor criticizes the Time Lords for doing nothing, while the Daleks are shown as actively strategizing and executing plans, highlighting the moral dichotomy the Doctor defends. Lytton's survival and revised plan under the Black Dalek's authority exemplify the proactive evil the Doctor warned against.
