Will Burnham have a love interest?

[Cake]

There is an interview with Shazad Latif in which he said this:

He’s gone through these horrible, horrible things. We explore that, and he explores that with other people in the ship….[With Captain Lorca] There’s a military connection there. There’s a bond there. And then there’s a chemistry, a relationship with [Michael] Burnham that he’s exploring.

It sounds like Tyler will be Burnham's love interest. Or do you think it means something else?

 

[CorporalClegg]

I'm fine with her having a relationship, I just hope she doesn't become defined by it.

If it's "Game of Thrones in Space", it's gonna be Spock.

There goes the liberal media again, trying to normalize heterosexuals!!1!1!!!

Doubtful, they don't really have the time. Other than the fact we know fungus guy has a partner, they aren't pushing or showing *any* romantic angles to the show.

 

[Mudd]

I think it means that Tyler won't survive the season.

If they want to include a romantic relationship between those two, they will take their time. Personally I think it is likely that Burnham won't stay single forever. Most serialized shows will give their main character sooner or later a love interest.

I really hope not. I don't watch Star Trek for the romance.

While Trek has definitely attempted amour aplenty, it's never been particularly good at it.

She comes across (so far) as pretty serious, add all that Vulcan conditioning and I have a feeling her love life would hardly be titillating.

Are you trying to make the point that there's always been romance in Trek? There has been of course, and most of it is bad.

I did enjoy "In Theory" and COTEOF of course, but most of the best episodes of Trek don't have much romance in them.

Just having a little fun.

Doesn't necessarily mean a romantic relationship, just a relationship between his character and the lead - it's important to establish the parameters between your characters, so you can combine any pair on screen. TNG wasn't so great at this, people tended to interact in silos, usually with the same people all the time, but DS9 and Voyager were much better. Firefly is good at it too, you can pick any combo of characters and describe the relationship.

You mean love is more than just a soft filter?

I especially loved the way that Simon and Kaylee interacted when on the show.
