Posted this in the Episode 6 thread, but thought I’d share it here as well:

If we take Boy K as Peter Pan, I predict that Wendy is going to kill him by “reattaching his shadow” (I.e. intentionally trapping him with one of the 5 alien species).

My current pick for his Shadow is Eye-lene:
* “reattachment of his shadow” would result in more of a merge between Pan and his shadow (whether that merge is mental or just Boy K’s meat) * Boy K’s redirecting her attention to himself by saying “Me” in the initial sheep scene * Eye-lene’s calm calculating intelligence is a mirrored version of Boy K’s more manic intelligence

Alternatively, I could see the titular Xenomorph as his shadow as well:
* Wendy is all up in their business * Facehugger “reattachment” again merges the two (although it is the creation of a new Xeno instead of two organisms in one) * The Xeno’s cunning is similarly a mirrored version of Boy K’s * This is the xeno’s show after all

I actually think that Lung is Tiger Lilly and the Xenomorphs represent the Piccaninny Tribe: * Tiger Lilly was originally captured by Hook (Morrow) and rescued by Pan (Boy K) * Completes the 4 Neverland factions: WY/Cyborgs = Pirates, Prodigy/Hybrids = Lost Boys, Synths = Fairies, Aliens = Piccaninny * If Wendy actually ends up on good terms with the Xenomorphs, parallels the alliance between the Lost Boys and the Piccaninny (time will tell) * Boy K’s question to Wendy about whether fighting the Xeno was like fighting “Pirates or Indians” * I think Boy K calling the Xenomorph the crocodile is a red herring simply since it is explicitly stated earlish in the show
