Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both settings are physically or emotionally confined spaces where characters face existential threats. The external alien threat (Cybermen) evolves into an internalized threat (betrayal by a figure of authority), marking a thematic escalation of the conflict.
