Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Taltalian’s sabotage in Episode 15 (Part 4) creates the conditions for the alien threat to manifest physically in Episode 16 (Part 5). The Doctor’s confrontation with Taltalian and his concerns about Liz’s safety are directly tied to the aggressive actions of the alien-possessed astronauts.
