A throwaway line in Star Trek VI spawned a popular fan theory. Now, three decades later, an episode of Strange New Worlds has made it canon.

Three seasons in, Spock ( Ethan Peck) is indisputably the romantic lead of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. So far he's been embroiled in two overlapping love triangles, a conflicted Vulcan betrothal, and, as of this week, a kiss with the Enterprise's security chief, La'an Noonien-Singh ( Christina Chong ).

La'an Noonien-Singh was able to put the Gorn behind her in the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, and it didn't take long for the Paramount+ series to find her a new storyline. The lieutenant seems to have entered a spicy new romance with one of her colleagues on the ship, though I'm not sure how I feel about it.
