Fortyseven@startrek.website 2 days agoHonestly, for me, the finale covered it enough. It’s obvious they like each other. I don’t think it needs to be directly confirmed in dialogue for it to be legit. :)

Yeah, Also, this really lets people make their own future for the characters.
Those two don’t need to necessarily fall in love and having a conventional monogamous romantic pairing. Just seeing a best friendship evolve is fun, and who knows? Maybe they have a fling and decide to remain platonic. Maybe they have a down-low FWB thing. This one little moment where they both see each other in a new way lets people imagine anything.
