La'an and Kirk have both had a tragic time travel love they can't talk about, and hers was him. If they're really planning a romance arc based on that, it's a big risk. People will be pissed if they don't properly honor the City at the Edge of Forever
Shatner was the master of The Look, that other guy...eh. Need to see more memes for research, I remember him vaguely from the Vampire Diaries.
