How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The crew’s loss of control in 'Q Who' (being flung through space, tractor beams carving the ship) is mirrored in Picard’s loss of control over his body in 'Samaritan Snare' (cardiac replacement, secrecy, and dependence on others)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
