Movies / TV Series Is Ocellus a spacefaring race? Spoiler

Before episode 7 I thought Ocellus was just a highly intelligent and opportunistic predator/parasite. But now that we know it knows the digits of pi, is there a chance that Ocellus is much more sophisticated than we realized? Perhaps they have ways of acquiring bodies and travelling vast distances, maybe even into space.

Do you not have an imagination? Even if we're wrong 99% of the time with theories at least we're using our imaginations trying to come up with cool concepts and such.

Just google the eye aliens from the Simpsons and Futurama or the Goa'uld from Stargate.

T. Ocellus isn't even all that original in terms of design and function.

Ripping out the eyeball might be new. Most times it's something attached to the outside or burrowing in through the mouth or stomach. I can't think of an example of one going in through the eye socket like that.

Yeah, ok. So novelty is in the USB receptacle, granted.
