Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The dome serves as a symbolic locus of the Cybermen's threat, with recurring scenes (Part 2's attack vs. Part 4's observation) mirroring the crew's hardening awareness. The Doctor's resilience ('I refuse to believe that') contrasts Hobson's fatalism.
