How did I miss this thread? Um we all know I hate TD so I won't bore anyone with that. But I will say that one of the things that most annoys me about the TnT "on screen" relationship is their complete inability to behave in a way resembling adults when it comes to their personal lives. Which is probably why I prefer "work and neuropressure" scenes to full on "romantic or getting dumped" scenes with them. Because romantic angst and obsticals are one thing, complete and utter immaturity is another. Especially when one character is close to 30 (in Vulcan years) and one character is OVER 30.
To that end I have to say in my head that T'Pol did indeed do something right by confessing her addiction to Trip somewhere between Zero Hour and Home. Mainly because I find it so totally unrealistic that two grown adults cannot even try to be the least bit mature, with a personal relationship with sex, or without. Yeah they're pretty screwed up. But you know what I've seen worse, both in real life, and fiction. Believe me when people actually try, the relationship actually tends to work out better, even with major horrible screw-ups.
