With all the chaos going around I forgot there was a new episode on Sunday. I'm currently trying to load it but it's been stuck buffering for the last 10 minutes & won't seem to load & I'm less than 5 minutes in. :-(

Jesse's post reminded me that I missed the episode.

That's annoying

I finally got it to load. Man, Alex doesn't have a very positive view of Brainy.
I'm wondering if that Instagram post was part of CG from a deleted scene where she saw him as a robot or something. At least Jesse was entertaining as an exaggerated version of Brainy.

I still think it's sad that it hasn't occurred to Alex that Brainy might be fine with running the DEO & might not want to yield back power to someone else. I wish we would get some insight in to how he is doing at the job. Like, maybe he did some calculations and figured out how to streamline some things & have it run more efficiently. I wonder what the subordinates think of him. It seems like at least a couple of them are afraid of him or nervous around him. I'm hoping they will say that despite working on logic, he will understand human needs & make accommodations rather than expecting everyone to act like robots. When he was first introduced it seemed he had a good grasp of humanoid psychology.
I'd really like to see him leading an op where he gets to be active & take charge without having a superhero save the day-- or he could be coordinating with Supergirl to get things done instead of just showing up after the bad guy is caught. He's got the female Brainiac 5's knowledge on how to run the DEO, so that should help.

David Harewood posted this on Instagram & I thought it was cute. From the 100th episode. I'm sharing because it shows more of the shoulder detail on Brainy's costume.

There were some pics on Canadagraph of Jesse wearing the blonde wig but no makeup while doing some outdoor scenes. Not sure what was going on. I assume they will CG in the green skin later.
Supergirl cast have been relatively quiet since all the shutdowns. I hope they are all doing OK.

I'm sure they are

I hope Brainy gets rid of whatever the "gift" was that Lex brought to him. It is obviously something to spy on him or to leak poison or do something nefarious. I also hope that Brainy doesn't believe Lex & that he realizes Lex is playing them all. I truly hope he will figure things out before the end of the season or at least at the beginning of next season. I don't want him to be dumbed down. He should be smarter than Lex. I still don't get why he couldn't go get the future cube from Lena or ask to borrow it for a moment (without Leviathan knowing she was involved). Another thing he could do is tap in to his ancestral memory & see if his ancestors have any knowledge of that time period or of Leviathan, but maybe J'onn can help him with that so he won't get overtaken by another personality.
I truly hope that he will do something to make sure Lex can't use the code for his own purposes and that it will sabotage Lex if he tries something.

I hope he does too

Interesting. https://www.cbr.com/supergirls-brain...ent-storyline/
I'm glad that Brainy is fully aware that Lex is manipulating him and he's sick of it. It will be interesting to see how he ends up resolving things.

I would dearly love to see a scene where Brainy goes a little medieval on Lex-- maybe summoning some of the coldness of his ancestors & actually intimidates/scares Lex (if even for a brief moment).

Thanks for that

That would be nice
