Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This callback highlights the continuity of the Doctor's moral stance. His earlier recognition of the Silurians' intelligence and civilization (via Quinn's testimony) becomes the standard he uses to condemn the Brigadier's mass extermination, signaling the Doctor's preservation of principle despite his moral compromise.
