Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"Baker's fatalistic final stand in 206—where he accepts his sacrifice for the resistance—transforms into the institutional skepticism of Major Baker in 705, who is wary of outsiders like UNIT. The character's name recurs, but his role shifts from a martyr of a lost cause to a security officer questioning authority, mirroring the same pragmatic, survival-focused mindset in different contexts."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Baker is the only named character appearing in both episodes, linking the Dalek occupation's desperate resistance to the Wenley Moor scientific crisis. His death in 206 (executed by Daleks) resonates with his skeptical, security-obsessed persona in 705, suggesting a thematic reincarnation or a parallel version of a man who always questions orders, whether fighting aliens or bureaucratic threats.
