Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Geordi's confrontation with the paralysis of Enterprise systems under Nagilum (Episode 2) mirrors his paralysis as an engineer responsible for the Moriarty crisis (Episode 3). Both events force him to confront the limits of his control, though the stakes shift from cosmic to personal."
