Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's defiant rejection of Dalek conquest ('Before you attempt to conquer the Earth, you will have to destroy all living matter') foreshadows Dortmun's doomed obsession to destroy the Daleks with his bomb, a futile effort against their technological superiority."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's bold defiance in Episode 5 serves as a thematic parallel to Dortmun's eventual, failed attempt to overcome the Daleks with inadequate resources. Both represent human resistance, but Dortmun's effort underscores the futility of opposing Dalek technology alone.
