Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve the Doctor and companions encountering an alien environment where their assumptions are challenged—first in the Tigellan jungle (Meglos Part 2) and later with the Starliner's marsh creatures (Full Circle Part 4). The pattern of disorientation and forced adaptation continues."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's struggle to navigate unfamiliar, hostile environments (jungle vs. alien ship) mirrors his broader journey in these episodes—both times, he must piece together fragmented knowledge to survive. This thematic parallel forms a consistent arc of 'unfamiliar territory and flawed assumptions.'
