literally NONE of the heteto ships on snw have any chemistry my god they’re all so mf cringe.
i liked marie and i absolutely don’t agree w the nonsensical way they got rid of her, but i’m almost glad she’s gone purely for the fact that i dont need to witness her & pike together anymore. chapel and korby are SO bad my god please spare us no more. spock and la’an are legitimately painful to watch for many, MANY strong reasons
the only “romances” that would ever be even remotely relevant in the context of star trek (and especially in the context of a PREQUEL to tos) would be “atypical” ones like spirk (obviously, and broadly anything interspecial like una and doug lol which everybody loved!!!) and anything queer / “boundary pushing” (like scotty and uhura - although heteto in nature, it’s interracial - HELLO KISS BETWEEN SHATNER AND NICHOLS FIRST INTERRACIAL KISS, but ALSO it was basically a secret, bc relationships have no place in the context of the show. also celia is nonbinary so that in and of itself makes uhotty outside the status quo with this show). so please ENOUGH with the boring heteto nonsense this isn’t the CW.
i don’t need to see any more frankly gross, uncalled for, ooc sultry salsa dancing or weird ass flashforward marriages with dogs and kids ffs. GIVE ME THE STRANGE NEW WORLDS. the space. the philosophy, the cheesy sets, the moral dilemmas, the shenanigans, the beauty of the “human” spirit and how it touches everything in the galaxy, the replicator food, the funny/cool animals on other planets, the scientific breakthroughs, the beauty of teamwork!!
there are GLIMPSES of those things in snw, but it’s not consistent and the interludes of boring relationships NEED to stop. give us more subspace rhapsody, more ad astra per aspera, more the sehlat who ates its tail. PLEASE. s3 was honest to god horrendous so i hope all their toting of “s4 is better” is actually true.
