Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Both events involve plans that are violently halted by external forces: the Brigadier’s command disrupts the Doctor’s regenerative sacrifice attempt; the Garm’s sudden appearance shatters the Doctor’s escape plan and hope of stabilizing Terminus. Both disrupt linear progress with moral or cosmic weight."
