Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's defiant public resistance to enforced happiness ('You can't go down in the history of the galaxy as a bunch of partypoopers') echoes Ace's later confrontation with him about hidden truths ('How can you know about the comet and not tell me?'). Both scenes feature a sharp-tongued youth calling out authority for lack of transparency."
