Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both events highlight the mechanical and dehumanized nature of Dalek control. The Slyther as a monstrous agent of Dalek rule mirrors the Dalek Supreme’s mechanical enforcement of genocidal plans. The theme of oppressive control through mechanical or pseudo-mechanical forces continues and escalates.
