While I don’t take back my previous statement about a lot of Star Trek being shit, I will admit to being a fan of The Next Generation and DS9 in the day. It’s just that in retrospect, after watching BSG, I am a bit spoiled. The way I see it, Star Trek (at least the series I mentioned), was good SF television. BSG is good (actually great) television period.

But on to the Star Trek. There was another Voyager episode on the other day and it dealt with the burgeoning Seven of Nine/Chakotay relationship. I think it was the finale.

That made me think of the various inter-crew relationships on the various series.

So, I pose to you, the readers, what was the best, most believable relationship on the various Trek shows? And what was the worst, most clumsy, ridiculous relationship?

Here are the ones I remember:

1. Ryker/Troi

2. Worf/Troi

3. Picard/Crusher

4. Data/Yar (maybe not a real relationship, but I thought it deserved mention)

5. Kira/Odo

6. Worf/Dax

7. Bashir/Ezri Dax

8. Neelix/Kes

9. Paris/Torres

10. Chakotay/Seven of Nine

11. T’pol/Trip

Those are the only relationships between main crew members that I can remember (I’m not counting relationships like O’Brien and Keiko since she was a secondary character – though I did like the way that relationship progressed over the two series).  I also didn’t watch Enterprise much, but I read about the T’pol/Trip thing recently.

So, I open it up to you – which was the best? Which was the worst?
