Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The arc from denial of medical threat (virus) to denial of mechanical threat (Cybermen) shows a thematic escalation of the Moonbase crew's inability to recognize danger until it is undeniable. This parallel structure deepens the critique of institutional denial.
