Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both episodes depict the TARDIS under external coercion: Frontios by the Gravis’s gravity pull, Resurrection by Davros’s Dalek control, paralleling the TARDIS as a vessel of forced transformation."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
In Frontios, the TARDIS is violently pulled toward the galactic core by unseen forces (the Gravis), while in Resurrection, the Doctor’s TARDIS is functionally coerced into serving Davros’s will. Both episodes use the TARDIS as a symbol of violated autonomy, framing cosmic threats that exploit the ship’s malleability. Tegan’s growing discomfort mirrors the Doctor’s complicity in these violations.
