Neelix and Kes was a better pairing than Paris and Kes, Seven and Chokotay, Janeway and Chakotay or Picard and Beverly.
You didn't exactly set a high bar.
For me, Paris and Torres, and Stamets and Culber are the two best pairings in the Trek universe.
I actually forgot which thread this was the prompt for contraversy. But never mind.You didn't exactly set a high bar.
Paris and Torres is probably my most tolerable relationship in Star Trek. Kirk and Marcus in the Kelvin Universe had good potential.
Relationships are not Trek's strong suite.

Generally speaking, it has been pretty rough across six decades when dealing with romantic relationships. There were a few good one-shot romances, like Timicin and Lwaxana Troi from "Half a Life".
Agreed. Romance in STAR TREK was usually not great, though a few exceptions worked well.
Ben and Kasidy. Miles and Keiko. Worf and Jadzia. Tom and B'Elanna. Stamets and Culber.
Ben and Kasidy Yates felt forced. I don't think Miles and Keiko even liked each other. Worf and Jadzia just fed into fandom's image of Jadzia as a Klingon party girl.
None of them really worked for me.
Stamets and Culber don't exactly have a romantic relationship or one which seems like they even feel physically attracted to each other. But season 3 onwards they are certainly stable and drama free.
Really? I thought all three were done well, especially Miles and Keiko. More so over the years, espeically after being married. (In 6 months, it'll be 15 years.

First thirty years are the hardest!
I'm coming up on 33 in October.
I'll keep that in mind if I ever get there. Im still working on getting past the eye contact stage.Welcome to marriage. It ain't all banging!
I liked how we got some of the little 'day in the life' moments with them. Like when we just see them brushing their teeth and talking about their day. Little scenes like that go a long way with how you connect with characters and their interactions. Personally, I thought they were a good couple, and we saw some of the ups and downs with them. Seemed pretty realistic to me.
(When we see a couple have no issues or are portrayed as a little too perfect for each other, it loses a lot of credibility because there is no such thing as a perfect couple.)
Awesome! Congratulations, man!First thirty years are the hardest!

Spite is a powerful emotion. Everyone on my wife's side of the family were convinced we wouldn't make it. We showed them.
I do agree with you on that. They are a good healthy relationship in this comfortable love sort of way. I guess I'm just more accustomed to seeing romance in a romance but perhaps their's is a more realistic presentation.
Glory to you... (opens eyes as wide as Gowron's)Spite is a powerful emotion. Everyone on my wife's side of the family were convinced we wouldn't make it. We showed them.
And your house.
Yeah, if you're always in crisis mode, there's no time for games. Any fun or quiet moments that are added seem forced or inappropriate for the situation.
