Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Ian's interrogative role in Episode 29 ('Have we changed the future by now?') evolves into his confrontation of the Doctor's claims about the Time and Space Visualiser's capabilities in Episode 30 ('Oh, wonderful. I've always wanted one.'). His skepticism about predestination translates into skepticism about the Doctor's technobabble.
