Bajoran & Changeling
(opens in new tab)
Who: Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) and Odo (Rene Auberjonois)
Where: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
The slowest burning relationship on our list, the Kira/Odo pairing is not the obvious first choice from DS9 – with fan favourites Worf and Dax also fitting our criteria rather nicely (and they did have a fantastic wedding – wouldn’t you love a ceremony where the best man gets to beat the groom with a big stick?). But watching the relationship between the major and the security chief develop over the seasons – starting with Odo pining for her, having met her years before and saved her from Gul Dukat, lasting through him finding out she was the murderer Dukat had believed her to be, and onto Odo’s turn to the dark side – is genuinely heart warming, not least because they’re both such grumpy, conflicted characters, and yet in each other they find a kind of peace.
Any other potential suitors? Lwaxana Troi is Odo’s main non-bumpy nosed love interest with him marrying her while she’s pregnant so she won’t lose her baby as per Betazed law, while Kira acted as a surrogate for the O’Briens’ baby which led to awkward flirting with Miles before a fling with Shakaar.
Star-crossed lovers or happy ever after? The Dominion War sees Odo leave the station to join The Great Link, however despite the Major’s responsibilities to remain the two remain a couple, albeit long distance and against a background of war.
Think of the children! To be honest, bearing in mind Odo’s shapeshifting abilities we’re not sure we want to even imagine them having sex, thank you.
