Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both moments involve a sudden intrusion of the impossible into the mundane: the living police box and then a prehistoric landscape. These shared themes of displacement and estrangement emotionally connect the two episodes under the Doctor’s influence.
