Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
This connection highlights the Doctor’s role as a harbinger of peril, but also his shifting terminology. His early use of 'evil' for the Cave of Skulls is later replaced by a more detached, scientific description of the planet’s lifelessness, reflecting his growing familiarity with alien environments and a more measured worldview.
