Anyways, it was a great reveal episode! The Devoes make an interesting villain couple... What I gathered from it was that DeVoe saw the younger generation as all wrapped up in technology and whatnot, so he wanted to create something that would absolutely blow their minds (heh), and that was combined somewhat with his clear self-consciousness of his intellectual ability. And as someone who clearly had a passion to teach, being able to give people something as incredible as he'd intended, it would be the ultimate gift.
