Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's impulse to intervene and dismantle oppressive power structures in 'The Savages' (destroy the laboratory) parallels his immediate recognition of an alien-powered tower ('something alien') in 'The War Machines', suggesting he is drawn to systemic corruption and entitlement wherever he finds it."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This shows a direct continuity in the Doctor's character trajectory: his proactive stance against oppressive systems begun in 'The Savages' still drives him in 'The War Machines'. The Doctor's reaction to the Post Office Tower mirrors his earlier stance that the lab must be destroyed, reinforcing his role as a disruptive force against unjust systems.
