Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor's assertion that it's safe to cut through the wasteland ('that wore off a long time ago') foreshadows the Gonds' growing realization that the Krotons' hold is not as absolute as once believed. This parallel emphasizes the shift from fear to rebellion, a thematic core of the conflict arc.
