Inter-species romances on television and in movies are always a metaphor for inter-ethnic. A fictional representation of the real thing was too threatening and controversial;so substitutes, within limits – had to be found – to tell people to get over it.
The Greek God Aliens made them kiss, it was supposed to have been Spock forced into emotion, but no way Kirk was getting Vulcan Blocked.
Next Gen’s Riker and Troi and Wharf; Deep Spaced Wharf and J. Dax
In the Alt.Universe, Overlord Kira and Dax fullfil the subtext of the previous Dax and Kira slash and that forbidden Trill love best kiss ever.
Beauty couldn’t Kiss The Beast on tv, but she had his baby before returning to the silver screen in Terminator 2; at least Hellboy had Liz.
And, at least Linda Hamilton friended the Beast, not handed over by her father, as in the original gothic folk tale.
