Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

The narrative assertion

"The Doctor and Adric's stabilization of Traken's Source (EP24) escalates into a larger, universe-threatening crisis on Logopolis (EP27), where the Master's goal shifts from local domination to cosmic sabotage. Both events feature the companions working against hierarchical systems (Consuls, Monitor) that fail to act decisively."
