I hate the "destroy the central entity and the others will be disabled" trope, so overused in sci-fi

I see it used on species that don't have individial identities, where one controls the brood, and for those it makes sense and I don't mind.
Didn't see this ep so not sure it applies.
Starship troopers is a good example perhaps, not many others I can think of.
Star craft 2 did this well IMO, where the brood without mother splits into chaotic disordered groups who are aggressive to everyone.

I understand that, but my point was that the issue was resolved in the episode unlike the post make you believe

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 2 months ago

Sure, I wasn't arguing your point
