Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's meticulous approach to understanding systems (despite being a history teacher) becomes his greatest asset when confronting alien technology. The same analytical skill applied to survival (fire) is repurposed against advanced adversaries (Daleks).
