Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"Ian's strategic deception in Episode 25 (convincing Leicester he can execute the Doctor) parallels the Doctor's commitment to investigating the museum in Episode 26 despite temporal anomalies (which are, in reality, a form of deception by time). Both represent the theme of human (or alien) characters navigating and exploiting unnatural threats."
