Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events showcase the Doctor's adaptability in utilizing external systems (mythic statue vs. scientific apparatus) to counter existential threats. This continuity reinforces his identity as a rogue scientist-engineer who prioritizes action over passive analysis, a trait that persists despite the shift from planetary conflict to psychic investigation.
