Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Doctor’s use of a canopic jar—a device of containment and ritual—to penetrate Sutekh’s barrier reflects Sutekh’s later manipulation of TARDIS controls (isomorphic systems) to break into the Time Lord’s mind. Both events center on overcoming barriers via non-conventional tools, hinting at Sutekh’s greater strategic superiority.
