    Yeah but after watching all that - turns out they were really happy and lurved each other real good.

    Y’all just hating on Keiko. “She broke up The Enterprise” you say. Bah. Lies!

      They are one of the few couples we see on Star Trek that aren’t some kind of superhero couple (Book and Michael, Stamets and Culber, even Torres and lizard boy) and care about each other and the family they’re raising together.

      I think it’s just that as the only married couple like that, they end up having to be the sole focus of all the “married couple” tropes for the writers; there weren’t any other couples to write them about.
