Star Trek makes fan-favourite couple canon
25 years later, Star Trek: Lower Decks finally makes a fan-favorite couple from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine canon. Spoilers for Lower Decks ahead.
Star Trek: Lower Decks episode “Fissure Quest”, follows up with Captain William Boimler, the transporter duplicate of Lieutenant Brad Boimler who was assigned to Starfleet’s Section 31 after faking his death. Captain Boimler’s crew is assembled from alternate reality versions of Star Trek legacy characters from across Star Trek‘s multiverse of timelines, including Star Trek: Enterprise‘s T’Pol, a pre-Jadzia Curzon Dax, and a bevy of Ensigns Harry Kim.
The USS Anaximander’s medical officers are based on potential realities from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This holographic Dr. Julian Bashir is ostensibly based on the Long-term Medical Hologram that engineer Lewis Zimmerman started building in DS9 season 5, episode 16, “Dr. Bashir, I Presume”. Holo-Bashir shares medical duties with an alternate reality version of Elim Garak.
The epsiode makes Dr. Bashir and Garak a couple, 25 years after Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended. Captain Boimler’s voice-over introduces Starfleet Garak and Holo-Bashir as a married couple, and the delightful (if somewhat antagonistic) banter that ensues between the long-term pair is a perfectly believable extension of their DS9 characterizations.

Netflix renews queer dating show The Boyfriend
Japanese LGBTQ+ dating show The Boyfriend will return for season two on Netflix. Following the likes of I Kissed A Boy, I Kissed A Girl and Queer Love: The Ultimatum, season two of the queer dating show will drop on Netflix next year. The streaming platform announced the news on Sunday (15 December).
The Boyfriend is Japan’s first same-sex reality dating show and season one featured gay and bisexual Japanese and East Asian looking for a romantic connection. It followed a group of men living together in beachside accommodation where they had to foster connections with one another while running a coffee truck.
Executive producer Dai Ota said: “Thanks to the love from our viewers, it is exciting to return for a new season. Being the first same-sex romance reality show in Japan, we paid careful attention to ensure that the story is an authentic portrayal of these relationships.
