Is Pharynx second in command?

He IS Thorax's brother and, at least visually, he's half way between Thorax and a normal changeling.

I don't really mind the idea.

I think Pharynx might be second in command, Luna is Celestia's second in command, they're both leaders.

Well Pharynx was one of the top changeling guards if not the captain of the changeling guard. I would assume that Pharynx will take on responsibility as the captain of the guard or act as Thorax's second in command. It just makes sense with the kind of relationship Pharynx has with Thorax, his dedication towards protecting the hive, and his new appearance. I would be very surprised if that wasn't a part of the writers' plan for him.

Don't see why not. As stated above he served a fairly important role in the original changeling hive, makes sense that he would continue that role now. Plus the somewhat unique design is indicative of an important role if we use conventional cartoon logic.
