Was it really Zor-El, or maybe Brainiac?

[Randy G.]

Zor-El's behavior in this episode, made me think of something. We know that Brainiac is on the loose, and his storyline has to tie in soon. He was created on Krypton, and he knows everyone of their backstories, so is there a possibility that this wasn't really Zor-El at all?
He manipilated information out of Kara, even tried to kill her (his own daughter).
He gave a back-handed Beyotch-slap to Lara (whom we know that Zor-El also loves).

Also, Zor-El had no problem blocking out the sun, when it's the sun that makes Kryptonians super powered on earth.

Brainiac on the other hand doesn't need the yellow sun to have his powers.

Hmmmm..........
Something is really fishy here. :\

dunno but Zor-El was flaky enough before to try to force himself on Lara and he did try to kill Jor-El, but back in "Lara", Lara commented that Jor-El's BRAIN InterActive Construct was supposed to be helpful, so maybe Zor-El reprogrammed Brainiac , maybe Zor-El was in league with Zod

That is one of my many theories (Zor-El & Zod were partners at least up to a point--Zor-El did not agree with destroying Krypton).

It's possible that the blue-k not only took Clark's powers away but gave them to Zor-El so that he would even have them with an eclipse. Or maybe the replicant Zor-El's powers came from the FOS and not the yellow sun.

I really wanted to find out Zor-El's thoughts of Zod and what he has to do with Zod (he must be associated in some way).

Something just seemed too strange about it. Like something just didn't fit.

Its called the writers being too um a too fiqure out that the sun gives the kryptonians the powers and remember the julian has been proven and shown to be dead/ alot younger then clark, chloe, and lana not to mention he would be jailbait for Lois.
