Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection illustrates how Kellman's insistence on maintaining relevance to the Cybermen's plan (even after his betrayal is exposed) accelerates the Cybermen's escalation from a targeted strike to annihilation-level force, reinforcing the theme of escalating violence driven by complicity.
