Spock/Chapel are not a good couple. The build up was the ''fun'' part

- Start date
Paris and Torres were one of the most realistic relationships in Trek history. It would be unfair to judge other relationships by their standard.
Again, boring 24th century Fedroids.
We never see Chapel again after TMP, IIRC. In what may be the best jailbreak ever from 'small universe syndrome,' Chapel appears to have taken a post elsewhere, gotten on with her life as an M.D., and left Spock behind for good.
I believe she is visible in ST IV.
Hmm, probably so. I'm about to rewatch that one for the first time in over two decades. I'll keep an eye out for her. But she only appears in the background and not interacting with the rest of the crew, right?
You'll have to tell me because I can't remember at this point.
Chapel is seen a few times in Star Trek IV and even has a line of dialogue.
We see her briefly at 20 minutes and 38 seconds.
At 27 minutes, we get her one line of dialogue. "Admiral, we need that power to keep medical and emergency systems functioning." (Which is immediately followed by Janice Rand's one line of dialogue in the movie.)
Then, she's seen at the court hearing at the end, most notably, sitting right next to Spock until he joins his crewmates.
Fun fact about that scene. It is the only scene in canon that has all seven of our main crew members as well as Chapel and Rand in it, and it is the only time Chekov and Rand appear in a scene together.

Chapel's scene with Sarek was cut but that and sitting next to Spock does imply she stayed close to the family. It's a shame that she wasn't at Spock's wake in STIII.
Chekov and Rand also appear together in the briefing scene in TMP but she was absent from the bridge in the final scene of TMP, which is a shame - it would have been a lovely nod to TOS if she had come out of the turbolift with Chapel and Scotty.
Barrett and Whitney had pages of technobabble to learn for STIV. I wish they would release the outtakes. I would have loved to use that as background in fan edits of TOS episodes.
I didn't think so. Voyager had it issues but there were some excellent episodes and seasons. The worst??? Discos 32nd century is about as exciting as watching my cat cover it's pee with litter.
Yeah, not sure comedy is your best thing.
Wasn't meant to be funny.
I believe more in the emotional reality of every single DIS character than any VOY character other than Seven and the Doctor.
As I finished up watching Star Trek IV today, I realized that my memory had been playing tricks on me. Chapel is not sitting literally right next to Spock in that scene, but she is right there in the front row with the "family".
