Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The legal battle with the Megara escalates into a full-scale military delusion under the Marshal in Armageddon Factor. The Doctor’s fight against institutional rigidity evolves into a fight against institutional madness manifesting in war."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This escalation connects the two episodes through the Doctor’s growing scope of conflict—he starts with procedural justice and ends in moral confrontation against a warmonger’s fanaticism. It carries the narrative arc of his opposition to dogma and force.
