    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.
