Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor’s improvised and ultimately failed time-controlling device in Episode 23 (cand_evt_scene_acd1b142f9556459_1) foreshadows the higher-stakes improvisation he undertakes in Episode 24: inserting his TARDIS inside the Master’s (cand_evt_scene_4713de57923fa962_01). Both actions show the Doctor’s relentless, if flawed, effort to fight temporal chaos with whatever he can devise."
