Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The theme of disregard for warnings in Episode 1 ('Not a scratch. Not a scratch') is mirrored in Episode 6 when the Doctor dismisses Vicki and Steven's concerns about the Greek encampment ('Oh, what nonsense') and then Steven later disregards the Doctor's caution entirely."
