Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Steven’s frustration with the Doctor’s dismissal of his ideas in Episode 15 (‘too primitive’) carries forward into Episode 18, where he is already at odds with the Doctor over priorities (repairing TARDIS vs. reacting to Dalek threats)."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The earlier rejection of Steven’s G-force theory (Episode 15) underscores his antagonism toward the Doctor’s dismissal of pragmatic solutions. This pattern resurfaces in Episode 18 when the Doctor ignores Steven’s warning about the Dalek time machine, reinforcing Steven’s role as the voice of immediate action in contrast to the Doctor’s preoccupation with technical or strategic delays.
