Currently, the best m/m relationship in Star Trek is in The Orville. :p

[(Anonymous)]

Oooh, details? Why do you like it so much?

AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's funny and unexpected and has a surprising amount of heart, especially considering that both actors are playing a stoic race through a ton of prosthetic.

(The show overall is like a beatup car that looks as though it ought not to run at all, but yet is mostly reliable and gets reasonable mileage.)

Let's not forget the forced sex change of their newborn child because girls are icky!

[(Anonymous)]

No. The Orville is not Star Trek any more than Galaxy Quest is (though Galaxy quest is both better and a better send-up of Star Trek).

You're wrong since The Orville has a deeper connection to Trek than Galaxy Quest, and despite poor marketing The Orville is not a parody or send up of Trek but a loving homage to its inspiration. Seth said something like this is Trek but with real people from this century onboard rather than the TNG future paragons of virtue. It's Trek for our times not a hahahaha scifi is silly Quest thing.

Yay, someone used my comment from last week to make a secret! I guess I should be flattered, OP?

Actually, the moment I loved their relationship best was Stamets defending his gayness in ALL parallel universes when Georgiou calls Hugh "Papi" and talks about their supposed alt-threesome. The looks Culber and Stamets shared... I died.

I'm actually really enjoying Culber's identity crisis and am very curious to see if they get back together.

There's plenty of straight canon couples in media that are boring too, so yay representation!

I still say that their relationship would have been a lot more interesting if Culber wasn't dead for most of the series.

[tabaqui]

I kinda agree. They had the 'couple who bickers and snarks at each other' thing going, but in a way that made it seem that neither of them really liked each other. I hate that in m/f couples, and i hated it in their relationship.

I'm not watching season two (though i saw a bit of it), and the...white guy? seems to be way too pushy about (spoiler spoiler spoiler)

'you love me and we love each other and we are a COUPLE OMG OMG LET ME COMFORT YOU!!!!!' when the other guy clearly doesn't want him to do that.

Meh.

[sabotabby]

I feel like they are burdened by the general lack of representation of queer relationships on TV.

Like, they had to write Star Trek's First! Gay! Couple! (that wasn't Garak/Bashir there I said it) and instead of writing an interesting, complicated relationship, they went for happily married, because they needed positive and monogamous representation where everything was great save a bit of bickering, but happily married is boring to TV writers so they killed Culber off, thereby fulfilling every bad queer trope ever, and then they had to fix it. I'm hoping it gets more interesting now that there's a real source of tension. But Culber just wasn't developed enough to start off with to make it work.

[(Anonymous)]

There's plenty of awesome tension ever since Culber came back from the dead.
