I really wish Star Trek had learned to handle romance. Or, failing that, learned not to base episodes on it. Approximately none of the emotional connection between Sisko and Fenna is truly believable—even though the actors clearly have chemistry, the characters don't.
Why Trek's writers continued trying to put the captain figure in a relationship even though it almost always fell flat, I may never understand. Maybe the network (foolishly) demanded love interests?
They couldn't even throw a monkey wrench into the science to make things a little interesting. Make the reignited star fizzle out after a few days, make the Prometheus crew intervene to fix a miscalculation on Seyatik's part, anything. The whole package is way too cut-and-dried.
