Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The thematic parallel underscores the Daleks' unwavering commitment to extermination and domination. In Episode 9, the Daleks order human extermination to 'clear up this planet,' while in Episode 31, they prioritize destroying the TARDIS despite its imperviousness. This parallel highlights the Daleks' inability to adapt or reconsider their objectives, even when faced with failure or alternative considerations.
