but after 4 eps? I feel like we haven't really seen them together for it to be developed for this breakup that still has Christine pinning for him all these years later...
Spoilers Is it possible that Chapel and Spock were in a romantic relationship during TOS?
- Thread starter Unimatrix Q
- Start date
Kirk loves, loses and laments in less that 24 hours sometimes.
So Star Trek?
sorry, this is the first star trek show I've watched lol
Oh, whoops. Yes, relationships tend to build up in one episode.
Ah. This is in the tradition of many television shows in the 1960's where a lead could meet, fall in love, marry, and lose a partner in the course of mere days (in Trek's case, sometimes hours.) It's kind of an updated nod to that only, instead of forgetting it even happened by the next episode, there are residual and lingering effects for the characters throughout the season while they run around doing other exciting stuff.
Edited to add: I personally would like to see it last a bit longer sub rosa. Although it seems like he's moving quickly to the idea that this whole open yourself to love shit is for humans and it hurts and so, no thank you.

Oh yeah, that episode. I forgot the title and tried to forget the episode even existed having been overcome by Fremdschämen while watching and then never watching it again.Are we allowed to say "sub rosa"?
A very believable complication -- now that they are together, Christine and Spock are finding that it is possible they don't have enough in common to actually be together. Sometimes we are attracted to those who are very different from us, yet discover there aren't enough similarities to build a lasting relationship on. They're going to need more time to figure out if they can make it work as a couple.
100%. "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."
Of course, the logical solution is for everyone to try out polyamory. Then they won't have to make painful decisions over who to dump and who to stay with.
Really, there's no good reason they couldn't have a polycule with Roger, Christine, Spock, Jim, T'Pring, and Stonn.
