Some Questions Need Serious Answering...

I got this about a month ago because I remember seeing some of the videos on Toonami about the time Discovery came out. I only got to see up to Harder Better Faster Stronger. The thing I am trying to figure out is:
1) Did the Earl de Darkwood find the secret to long life through the aliens music? Is that why he killed them all?
2) Did he capture their souls in the records or something? What was that thing him and his robot followers were chanting to?
3) What significance did the number 5555 have to do with the aliens? Was that the number he needed to have sacrificed in order to conquer the universe?
4) Did he turn into an alien at the end, or was it just his evil aura that tried to kill the Cresecendolls?
5) Were Shep and Stella hooked up, or did he just have a massive crush?
6) Was it an alien ship that was responsible for the death of the Earl de Darkwood's parents?
7) Are Stella and Arpegius brother and sister? In the beginning, they both have the same color hair...
8) And how did I know that they were gonna make the alien with the fluffy afro the black dude? Tuxedo shirt and all?

I dunno, guys... Can someone help me out with the answers because I have been wrackin' my brain for a freakin' month.

1) The meteor that crashed into the Earl's house when he was a kid gave him long life and made him grow up hella fast.

2) I think he just used the aliens to get those gold records for some type of ritual.

3) I have no idea.

4) I think it was like an evil aura/slime creature that wanted revenge for what happened.

5) Shep and Stella never really hooked up, because he died. The scene between the two (the Something About Us song) I think was Shep trying to show Stella what their real planet was.

6) No, a meteor caused their deaths and transformed the Earl into what he was.

7) I'm not entirely sure, because there were several other people on their planet that had the same colored hair...so, they could be.

8) I think that during the humanization process (the Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger song) the Earl didn't want to make any major changes since the characters were pretty close to being human, except for the fact they had blue skin and two of them had yellow hair.
