Love it! Brainiac and Kara were the greatest couple ever in the Legion's universe. I don't think anyone's been able to write B5 correctly since Kara died in CoIE. His connection to her is what tied him to his humanity, the uncontrollable emotional connection confused him and made him vulnerable, in other words a normal male teenager.

i agree, but i think most people just don't know how to write a smart nice guy i think they just took the easy way out but making brainy mean but killing kara just gave an excuse to make him mean and keep him that way

Pretty much. Giffen and company even managed to reflect it in the 5YL relationship between Laurel and Brainy but it still didn't have the immediate audience connection that Kara/Querl had. When he was touched by Kara, Querl was a character we could empathize with, a guy we could understand. Without her he is just an arrogant know-it-all that you want to smack in the face. DC's thrown out any chance of ever seeing that happen again and it's a pity...unless there's a chance that undoing the Crisis will also undo the deaths of some of their classic characters but I don't actually hold out any hope of that.
As it is I think this is the last time we'll ever get to see any version of these time-crossed lovers:
I'm not sure even the Johns retroboot can give us this back. *sigh*

I wish they would undo the whole sprocking continuity ever since the chowderheads running DC in the mid-80s okayed Stimpy Byrne's reboot of Superman. Some great stories have been told in the later continuities, but the Legion has never fully recovered from the removal of Superboy.
Why "Stimpy"? "DON'T TOUCH IT! IT'S THE HISTORY ERASER BUTTON, YOU FOOL!!!"
Speaking of chowderheaded editorial decisions, they finally did give us back Kara Zor-El--and then turned her into Britney with superpowers. KAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!
