Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The Brigadier’s refusal to accept the Doctor’s claims without proof in Episode 2 mirrors his dismissal of Ransome’s firsthand account of plastic mannequins and automation in Episode 3. This continuity underscores the Brigadier’s character as a military officer bound by evidence and procedure, even when facing paranormal threats.
