I was inspired by Star Trek on Facebook who had asked the question: "Who is you for favorite couple in the Star Trek Universe in honor of Valentine's Day?" I thought that was a creative question and being a die-hard Trek fan this prompted me to think about the characters from the entire Star Trek franchise.
The Original Series had Capt. Kirk who seemed to always get the girl, but I have to say, in my favorite episode, "The City on the Edge of Forever," I loved Kirk with Edith Keeler, that was a classic episode and great story.
In The Next Generation I liked the long term off again and on again Riker and Troi relationship. I have to admit, I liked the sexual tension,the love and respect they always had for each other, and the eventual marriage in the movie "Nemesis." I also loved the Data and Lt. Yar hook-up in the first season and how Data always remembered that experience in subsequent episodes, that was cool.
I do not know enough about Voyager to pick out a couple and in Enterprise, T'Pol with Commander Tucker was the best, I loved how their relationship started but I was very disappointed that they killed him off at the end of the series. I would have liked the image of T'Pol and Tucker together off on missions with their baby.
Last but not least of all, Deep Space Nine is my favorite of the all the series and they had so many good couples. I liked Nog and Leeta, Odo and Kira, Quark and gold pressed latinum(just kidding), but of course, my all time favorite has to be Dax and Worf. They had great chemistry, were opposites, had fun, and were both warriors and explorers at heart. My favorite episode is "You are Cordially Invited," because it has humor, cold feet before the wedding, trouble with the in-laws, and great bachelor parties!
Well, there it is, Dax and Worf, my favorite Star Trek Valentine's Day couple and I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day with your special partner!
