10 Most Romantic Star Trek Moments

If I had to pick the most romantic moment in all of Star Trek history it would have to be Ezri deciding to go after Worf to save him. That scene where she contemplates going after him and remembers their history together would melt anyone's heart.

Second to that is Odo's goodbye to Kira on the Founder homeworld. Both Rene and Nana sell the heck out of that scene as two people completely in love with one another who realize they can't be together. It may be heartbreaking but it's also heartwarming at the same time.

#1 indeed nails it best.

Captain Kirk and Edith Keeler should have been #1.

What ABOUT Spock & M5???? Didn't you SEE the love light in Spock's eyes? The RIGHT computer finally came along!

A scene in Shore Leave where Kirk meets his former love Ruth always touches me! It shows how much she meant to him! This was deserving of an honorable mention I think.

Sarek was never all that in control of his emotions. I mean look at his family, one son, from outside the marriage, becomes a terrorist, the adopted daughter becomes a secret he must keep for the rest of his life, the other son rebels at going to the vulcan academy that he threw the daughter under the hovercraft for. Plus he was probably at least marginally approaching his mental degeneration, he was already retired when he appeared in TOS.

I think I need to defend Vulcans here. Love can be emotional and it's but one aspect of something so much deeper. It's not only emotions. Anyone in a long relationship knows this. Deep bond, friendship need not to be purely emotional.

Jessie's vid is incredible

🖖🏻

Host says "With that in mind", DRINK!

No, Kirk really didn't have a new romantic interest in nearly every new episode. Maybe watch the series instead of repeating fan misconceptions...?

You left out the Star Trek TNG episode "The Dauphin". I can't pick a single romantic moment, maybe when they say goodbye and he sees her true form, but that should have definitely been included here.

Critics may scoff, but the orbital inspection of the refitted USS Enterprise NCC-1701 in Spacedock by Adm. James T. Kirk & Cmdr. Montgomery Scott whilst Jerry Goldsmith’s beautiful “Enterprise” theme played in the background in 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture was one of that film’s best scenes- it presented an all new Enterprise to viewers and showed Jim Kirk’s love (or obsession, as Dr. McCoy thought of) for his ship. Its arguable at best if Picard loved his Enterprise that same way- perhaps Jonathan Archer would as his father developed the NX-01 Enterprise’s Warp 5 engine; Janeway showed her love for Voyager by going down with her in Year of Hell, for example.

I don't understand why there's always surprise at Vulcan emotion. The only truly emotionless are those who have completed Kolinahr. That's not even beta canon.

How are there no Worf-Jsdxia moments in this list?

I guess I'm weird, because I think number 10 is just horrific.

Saru and T’Rina tho… when he gives her the plant 🥹

I just watched the first episode of Picard season 3. I was emotional. From the music (Goldsmith/Courage) to the closing card (For Annie).

ALL OF IT UP!

They should leave out the gay stuff in Trek. That's not what the show is about it's about exploring the galaxy. Kirk getting the ladys makes it funny. I really can't stand Discovery. They shouldn't be in it.

I have to add a comment about Sarek and Amanda. In the TNG episode "Sarek," Picard expresses all the pent-up intense emotion that the Vulcan had been suppressing for more than a century. While it's a more dramatic scene than a romantic one, in my opinion it's the most intense expression of Sarek's love for Amanda (and all the other members of his family that we knew about at the time)

No Dax love!?!
You dishonor their legacies

Kirk's romantic feelings for the Enterprise are made clear in the first season episode The Naked Time. When he gets afflicted by the "drunk" infection, he goes all poetic about calling the Enterprise "her", and how appropriate that is. He may have had many trysts in his time, but that's because you can't boink a nacelle.

Kira and Oda never worked for me.

Lemme get this straight........ You have the top 10 romantic moments in Star Trek (B'elana/Paris is okay along with the Discovery Trill/Non-human), but you have no Worf/Jadzia Dax, no Burnham/Book, no Neelix/Kes (that one's weird), and no Trip/T'Pol? Seriously 😳?!?

Worf & Jadzia,'s romance was real and should be no 1 on this list rather than this sub mills & boon book scene regarding Kirk/Enterprise which was so contrived and would be better on a top ten worst novelisation scenes list.. Worf gave everything for Jadzia including the chance to captain his own starship. I am however worried that Marcus may be in love with his vacuum cleaner..

Quark risked his life to help out Grilka. I thought that was pretty romantic.

Oh come on Harry and 7 of 9

Also Q and Janeway

Is the reveal of the Enterprise excessive? YES. But I'll be damned if that scene and that score doesn't get me every time.

I’m just here to join the rest who can’t believe you missed ‘ship that got me through High School- Worf and Dax.

Worf stopping the mission and ruining his chances at advancing in Starfleet to save Jadzia's life should have been on the list.

And I'm sorry but Kirk's love for the Enterprise cannot possibly even be on this list, much less number one on it. That isn't a romance because it is one sided, the ship doesn't have feelings. A romance is between two or more beings capable of having an emotional connection.

Terrible, terrible, terrible awful bad choice for number one.

Personally I think a more romantic Tom and B'Elanna moment comes in Lineage, when he dismantles her childhood trauma and proves he loves her more than her insecurities would allow her to believe.

Kirk looks like he’s thinking of the enterprises exhaust port.

As so many others have noted, Worf and Jadzia and in so many scenes. Their love was epic! In fact I think they would be featured in some future Klingon opera that would rival and probably surpass that of Kahless and his beloved.

Point is you need to rethink this and make a part 2, Honorable Mention, or Continuing Romances video to include that, and many of the others mentioned below.

I also believe the pick of Kirk and the Enterprise is way off base as just off the top of my head I can think of at least 4 times Kirk's romances far surpassed that scene you chose.

And in no particular order, 1: The Naked Time when the Enterprise was spiraling down to the planet and Kirk was infected with the virus. He overcame that virus because of his love for his ship.

2. Elaan of Troyius where Kirk is infected by the properties of the tears of the Dolman of Troyius, of which there is no known cure, yet again, his love of his ship becomes the cure. But the romantic tones and how divided his loyalties were, and his ultimately making a choice in itself are very romantic. (Same thing for Picard and the lady portrayed by Framke Jennson - [Jean Grey X-Men movies] and how they fought against the properties of attraction she eminated).

3. Mudd's Women and the properties of attraction they had, not to mention in the Animated series version various crewmembers (especially the Scotty and Uhura thing and it's many hinted at and subtle peeks we were given afterward in the movies)

4. City on the Edge of Forever. A poet in X # of years on a planet around that distant point of light recommends "Let Me Help, even above I Love You" "I could have saved her! Do you know what you've done!?!? ...He knows doctor, he knows." OMFG how could you have overlooked all of THAT?

But I think you get the point.

Sad that Mariner and Jennifer may be a somewhat short lived romance. Jennifer, like most of the Cerritos crew, turned her back on Mariner near the end of Season 3. That whole ship has a lot of butt kissing to do.

I am surprised you did not include Vash from TNG. She dumps Picard and starts dating Q.

Miles and Keiko deserve a mention.
So does Tarka in Disco season 4, especially at the end. Every anoying and reckless stupid thing he did was for love.
Saru and the Ni'Var President were missed out. Theirs is a promising romance.
Spock and the Romulan Commander in "The Enterprise Incident," and the secret they keep without regrets.
Pike and Vina.
Kirk and Miramanee, at the very end of "The Paradise Syndrome."
Geordi and Leah Brahms in "Galaxy's Child," the tragedy where she reveals to him that she's married.
Lwaxana and Timicin in "Half A Life."
Some of these were about romances ending in some form of separation, where two people genuinely in love were forced apart by death.
Which brings us to "Tears of The Prophets" and Worf having to let Jadzia go; "Reunion," where he had to let K'Ehleyr go ...
And the single most tragic love affair of them all, namely Kirk having to witness the death of Edith Keeler in "The City On The Edge Of Forever," because in the end he had to choose between his love for a woman, and his love for the Federation.

T'Pol and Trip Tucker, Worf and Jadzia Dax, Spock and Uhura in the Kelvin Timeline, Sisko and Kassidy Yates, Stamets and Dr Culber and Shanx and Dr T'Ana

Those are some good choices. But Worf's two loves, Keiko and Miles, Dax saving that scientist she's not supposed to be in love with and who's name I can't remember, Bashir and Ezri, Sisko and . . . there are WAY too many now that I think about it. Maybe a pared down list was better.

And I thought that episode where Sarek stored his emotional upheaval in Picard and Picard went on Sarek's feelings for his vies and son as if they were his own. That was at least a little romantic. Just a tad.

Kirk, the only captain with the urge to boldly go where all men have been before🙊

squeals at the Jessie Gender callout

Don't forget about about the scene in first season of Star Trek TOS episode 'The Naked Time', where Kirk tells Spock that his true love was the Enterprise.

It wasn't just Kirk mesmerized by the Enterprise in 1979. Many fans including myself were too. She had not graced the screen for 10 years, and in 1969 it was a lowly TV model. In 1979 we marveled at the ILM version of the Enterprise and though it was ridiculed for the amount of time spent going around the ship, I think it was perfect.

Instead of Kirk and The Enterprise, it should have been Kirk and Edith Keeler. Kirk was in love with her but had to let her die to save history.

Worf and Jadzia's Wedding - WTF

What about dr crusher and the alien being evolving to the next stage of his peoples’ evolution? “I haven’t the words to express,,,,,”. Wasn’t that romantic? Especially when dr crusher didn’t want him to let go of her cheek as he touched and released?

When I saw the title of this video, Tom & B'Elanna were the first couple I thought of. Always liked their relationship.

I've had a appreciation for Picard musical romance always seem complimentary to each of the characters btw Ellie is just so beautiful love the pink sweater ❤❤❤❤❤

The Tomlinson wedding in Balance of Terror (TOS) ... even if it didn't last long

No one wanted Riker with anyone other than Troi. There. I said it.
