Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Both events expose the base's systems failing under stress. Preston’s earlier frustration at Maddox’s failure is mirrored in the Doctor’s explanation: human systems are inherently flawed when unsupported by understanding broader threats (Silurians).
