There is a little over three days left until the finale for season 3 and we are already getting some information about season 4! According to TVLine.com who broke the story, Jesse Rath's character, Brainiac-5 will be sticking around as a series regular for season 4! Comic book fans might know that Briany and Kara were linked romantically in the books and just what is going to keep Briany in our time is yet unknown! Executive Producers Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller had this to say about the change:
We love the character of Brainiac-5 and can’t imagine anyone but Jesse Rath in the role. He brings such fun, heart and brilliance to Brainy, and we’re so excited he’s joining the cast as a series regular for season 4. We have a lot of great Brainy stories to tell.

Chemistry and Melissa and Chris' relationship are irrelevant. That is real life and this is a fictional television show and as such, it requires more than emotional character maturation to make the character rounded and believable. My hope is that with Brainiac, they actually put in the groundwork for him to be a strong character on the show, establishing a life and role for him outside of Kara before pairing him up - if that's what they choose to do.
There is only a problem if they use time travel to interfere with their original time travel. So long as they time line started out with them time travelling, they would always have died at that 85 point. An amusing effect of stopping the blight in our century is that Mon-El and Imra might never have married. Poor Imra reappears and has to explain to Mon-El that he is not now and never has been her husband.
I don't think that the Monty and Kara relationship was a mistake and it certainly wasn't defined by that role. Just look where Monty was back in season 2 and now look where he is.
And there will never be a connection spark between Brainy and Kara like there was and is between Monty and Kara. The chemistry is undeniable. My God, they are dating in real life.
This leaves a paradox for all Berlantiverse time travelers that for every year that they stay out of their own time they reset there own timeline to die a year earlier than if the character was never introduced to time travel in the first place.
One way to stop this is for characters to return to their own time the same amount of years later that matches the time they spent traveling.
As I said Morbid Maths.
Quoting Captain Past:
He would in your example experience 90 years of life, five here and 86 in the 30th century.
Quoting Captain Past:
I’m actually excited to see more of Brainy. But not as a love interest for Kara.
With time travel, Brainiac can spend five years here, and then go back a couple of minutes after he left, so that the Legion is not deprived of his presence.
