Very fond of Boimlerford.
I can’t believe I forgot about that one!!!
Q and Picard
Oh! Good option!
Julian and Garak take first, second and third place.
You beat me to it.
I know everyone was shipping these 2 from the first episode, but I like them best as classic Trek BFFs.
Julian and Miles forever!
Julian and Miles feels the most real to me.
Kirk and Spock are a close second, but only because we saw that they love each other in their ways, but they didn’t spend a ton of time chilling out together on screen (camping Yosemite was great though)
Harry and Tom third, they really had a good influence on each other and they spent a lot of holodeck time together in Sandrine’s/Hawaii/Captain Proton/Fairhaven.
Julian and Garak was a lot of fun, but I think it’s overshadowed by Miles. Lunches and holodecking is all well and good, but Julian would turn to Miles for real stuff (although when he turned 30 that was Garak…)
Sisko/Dax is good but it relies on Curzon a lot. The on screen time with Jadzia is focused more on how she’s not Curzon, but they obviously still have a lot of love.
Geordi and Data is a little too mentor-y. Like they’re friends, but Data is more relying on Geordi for a humanity check, and Geordi gets advice from elsewhere on women (for obvious reasons) and that undercuts the bromance level I think.
Nog/Jake are great, and I would put them higher except they’re kids for most of the show and I feel like a bromance should probably be reserved for adults (kid friendships are different level). Although they do keep it up until adulthood if The Visitor is still accurate.
I guess Malcolm/Trip then, but honestly they thought they were going to die in a shuttle once but that’s kinda it. Been awhile since I watched ENT. If anything Trip/Archer.
Odo and Quark have mutual respect, but there’s too much antagonism to be a bromance.
And Neelix / Tuvok is non-existent. Tuvok can barely stand Neelix and only comes to grudgingly tolerate his antics after half of his personality is suppressed IIRC. The fact that Tuvok throws Neelix a bone and dances when he leaves is evidence he softened, but not that they were bros.
Malcom and Trip also had that hostage situation on Risa. Good times.
Odo and Quark are like a couple that’s been married for 60 years and can barely stand each other. Yet, there’s still love buried under that “Harumph.”
Yo, only Picard and Q were shown on the same bed together.
Solid choice!
I’m partial to Garrak, doing anything, but most screen bromances dance so it’s hard to pick just one. I’ve not seen Enterprise.
Dax and Sisko.
Tuvix.
Vote for Kirk / Bones. Solid.
A few of those are more frenemies.
I posit that “frenemies” are a subset of “bromances”
Fair point. I always thought of “bromance” as generally positive, but thinking about, say, Legolas and Gimli, there are some that straddle that line more than others.
Geordi and Data will always be my favorite
The Old Man is great in ever place she appears…
Neelix & Tuvok is my all time favourite.
