ENT 4x22: "These Are the Voyages"

[Sa'ar Chasm]

Are couples who are brought together and hinted at throught the whole series of Star Trek NOT ALLOWED TO BE TOGETHER?

This disturbing habit of turning every series into a teen melodrama with couples pairing and angsting is one of the reasons I've been turned off by the more recent incarnations of Trek. The last season of DS9 was like a soap opera in some respects.

I actually did intend to watch the finale (I saw the premiere, so I figured I may as well see the end of it. Same reason I watched Endgame). Unfortunately, I was otherwise engaged on Friday night, and on Sunday my room mate had a friend over and they watched two hours of Fox. Even worse, Space doesn't timeshift, so I didn't have another three chances to see it on stations further west. $118 a month for cable, and the one time I want to actually use it, it fails me. Bah. 300+ channels, and I watch two of them.

But I digress. Hopefully I can catch it in reruns.
