Now that I think about it, a Talas/Malcolm romance could really provide a compliment to a TnT romance. Two guy friends fall in love with women who are literal opposites. Malcolm, the emotionally distant human, falls for the hyper emotional Andorian; Trip, the emotive human, falls for the Vulcan. Possibilities, that's all I'm saying.
That is brilliant! I love this idea of opposites.
I also just rewatched Proving Ground and there's a very interesting glance between them as they finish their work on the phase couplers that just reeks of sexual tension. The music at this point is also fantastic.
I need to start doing more research about Andorians to see if I can make something work...
