10 most disliked Star Trek couples, ranked

2. Deanna Troi and Worf (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

I remember watching Star Trek: The Next Generation as a really young kid, enjoying the cosmic adventures, Commander Riker, and intricate relationships when out of the warp-speed blue, Deanna Troi and Worf start making googly eyes at each other. It was weird, to say the least.

It's like seeing your calm, collected therapist suddenly decide that what she really needs in her life is a grumpy Klingon warrior with a love for prune juice and combat exercises. The whole thing feels like someone mixed up their character notes and decided to roll with it. It's weird when you realize that there aren't a lot of times when these two even had the time to exchange more than stern looks and professional nods. It was as if the writers, in a late-night brainstorming session, thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be wild if...?" And thus, a romance as baffling as a Ferengi winning a charity award was born. Like Star Trek What If...?

Now, Worf and Troi's relationship didn't just stumble - it tripped on the first step and tumbled down the entire staircase. Their connection lacked the slow build-up that makes romances bloom like a beautiful, exotic flower in the vacuum of space. Instead, it popped up like a replicator malfunction, serving a dish nobody ordered. Fans of the show, who were used to the careful development of relationships (looking at you, Riker and Troi), found this pairing as awkward as a Vulcan trying to tell a joke.

It wasn't just that they were an odd match - the stoic warrior and the empathetic counselor - but their romance felt as forced as a smile in a Klingon opera, leaving viewers bewildered and unconvinced by the star-crossed lovers' tale.
