What are the chances that the Starlight's far-off village and her childhood village are the same place? The place was shown to have it's own traditions, and Starlight was certainly bonkers enough to have (re-mapped?) it at one point to fit her ideas and they're now recuperating them. The good judge stats at home, they say.
Someone was watching Aliens when making this episode. The cocoons/pupas, the layout of the hive is as if taken from the Kenner mini-comics, but what got me was scene where Chrysalis corners Starlight, specially, reminds me of the end when the Alien Queen is hunting Newt.
With Changelings being related to fairies, both their initial and final designs remind me of the fairy design in Del Toro's El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's Labyrinth).
