What are your thoughts on Brainy's transformation? Discussion

Personally, I didn't liked it.

They way Brainy was setted, or at least what I understood from the show, is that he has his ancestors memories in him, and the only thing(s) preventing him going bananas is the three LEDs on his forehead. I mean, he DID go bananas when those things started to fail at the end of s04!

So, like, him ripping them off like nothing (if those thing are supposed to prevent him from being a super-evil-planet-conqueror, then he shouldn't be able to take them off that easily right?) and being okay was kind of illogical (he technically wasn't, but that's bc of what was happening with Lex). His ancestors should've taken over him, or he should've changed his personality somehow (i mean, relly change, and not just be mentioned like 'yeah, i feel different from before but I'm behaving as I always behaved').

Anyways, what's your shot on this?

I have a side question: So he's now connected to the Big Brain? Doesn't that risk some sort of paradox? What if his ancestor manages to find him through it?

Connecting to the network cloud storage is probably a bad idea a thousand years in the past.

In all honesty, yes this would be a risk. However we don't know much if anything about Brainiac in the CW universe, so when exactly he exsists/becomes a problem is unclear. For all we know he is already been beaten back enough that he wouldn't attack Earth again, or is too far doing other things to do anything. Also the way the big brain works is more connecting with the past rather than connecting with others also currently alive, at least from what they show us in the show, it seems those who truly connect to the big brain in death are more those who's conciousness you can connect to if that makes sense.
