"Intelligence is not a winning survival trait" - I think the most important line here. I have never seen this thought elsewhere, and it makes the episode very important. It seems counter-intuitive, but the Swarm can be right. Intelligence is unbeatable in the short term - meaning "so far" from our perspective - but it also creates rapid, unpredictable and possible fatal changes. The Swarm seeks long-term balance and stability, and it uses the dangerous intelligence only temporarily if it deals with a threat. During these crises, the Swarm literally grows a brain, but these intelligent entities think about themselves merely as "tools". They willingly disappear as soon as they are not needed, so they don't threaten the long-term survival of the Swarm.

I took his "I accept your challenge" quote to mean he'd willingly participate, but he didn't believe Swarm would ultimately win.

[trinieshepard]

I disagree with you. He says in the end "I accept your challenge" because he is convinced that the human race will evolve and survive. He does NOT betray his race by surrendering to an what the swarm sees as an inevitable fate. He firmly believes in the potential and the adaptability of humans. You can see it in his eyes in the end. It is pure determination and no sign of defeat.

It’s chilling thing when a literal giant brain tells you the intelligence is not a winning survival strategy and have the force to test their claim.

[carlitosway]

When Galina says that the springtail race was probably spacefaring but encountered the Swarm and are now just a parasite that should’ve been their waning sign to stay away. What a great episode!

[NewsGenesis]

This goes to show you main stream Hollywood is running out of ideas because how is that these short films be having good story telling under 20 minutes per episode and be better then movies we see in theaters.

My immediate interpretation was that the Swarm was a metaphor for the human body (or non-human body). The queen creating caste cells are like our stem cells that can become any kind of cell the body needs. The warrior caste was like our bodies' immune system and killer cells that defend against foreign cells. Like the Swarm's enslaved worker races, our bodies use other microbes for our own purpose, like in our gut.

This interpretation shows humans as a disease, a virus or a cancer, that attempts to take over the host system. Humans also create vaccines and antibodies made from altered forms of the disease itself, similar to how the Swarm breeds with foreign races to defeat them.

This metaphor could've been just the basis for the story, but looking at it either way is pretty compelling and sad.

I want a sequel of this bad. I would gladly pay a lot of money to read a book following this plot, I think it could be very interesting.

[differentminddesigns]

It’s like a twisted retelling of Adam and Eve gone wrong. Love this episode!

[raineysopop]

This episode was like Beyond the Aquila Rift for me. It needs a sequel. It made me question things like with btar. Tom woke up half dead with his crew. But outside the ship it showed other ship wrecks in the nest. And then at the end it showed more ships bein sent off just as his was. How long has this been goin on?? And why continue to send ships off knowing they won’t return??

[abaranihei]

People dont get it as it seems when reading some of those comments. it stated that its a triggered defense response and their main strategy to defend them against threats is to get a hold of their enemies and breed them for their purpose, they didnt set them up it was their own fault, she was living with the swarm along time without any problems THEY triggered the response with their actions so the swarm did what they always do when someone wants to threaten their nest. They dont go and invade other Species they stay in their nest and defend when encessary.

[WarlordRising]

This season was the most consistent, imo. Only a couple of them were underwhelming. The Swarm is easily one of the best. The animation was stellar, and the concept interesting. I'd like to see this be expanded into a film.

[teamakesgames]

The "revenge" of the Swarm is exactly what humans tried here. The core mechanic of this episode is breeding other species for your own benefit and the Swarm was the earlier & better executor of this tactic.

[baquero]

Well, I don't think he's betraying his race, he had no other choice, either accept the challenge or kill himself and be cloned, the moment they started to fuck with the swarm was the moment they sealed their fates

[brianrobinson]

Here's something to think about too, the aliens he initially rode with (the doctor) said something like "he would miss these conversations" JUST LIKE the Queen said at the end. Almost like the traveling aliens tried too and got turned. And the SWARM knew what the humans were already coming and a side joke to him thinking they (humans) ever had a chance.

[riotbreaker]

It's essentially an Adam and Eve retelling, where Adam convinces Eve to bite off the forbidden fruit of knowledge in paradise, essentially angering a God.

[Zombieskelper]

Interesting that it starts and ends on the same line - 'We shall/would miss your conversation', although I'm not sure what the relevance is to the story.

[tumimbasa]

Your conclusion on dr afriel is definitely incorrect. The expression on his facr, tone and delivery "I accept your challenge" seemed more of a acceptance of the inevitable war between the swarm and humanity

[aristonmcj]

Loved this episode. It was the best. (SPOILER) The concept that intelligence is an overestimated trait to survival is mind blowing. And I agree with other comments, Doctor Afriel wasn't a coward. He believed humanity could ultimately win. He probably choosed to survive to try to work against the hive (and the hive knew that).
