Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier's habitual abruptness (seen in E6) escalates into a pattern of exhaustion and constant interruptions in E7, reflecting the intensifying pressure of the plot. This thematic parallel underscores his role as the stoic face of authority under strain.
