“Meridian”, DS9 - Despite Jadzia’s insistence earlier in the series that Trills don’t look for romance, she falls in love with some guy she has no chemistry with, and decides to try and stay on his world when it converts to energy, leaving her real life behind for about 60 years or something; I cannot be arsed to look up the exact number.

“The Outcast”, TNG - Riker falls in love with a member of an androgynous species, who gets in trouble when she starts identifying as female. She’s played by a female actress, as Star Trek tries and fails miserably to make a heavy-handed parallel to real-life gender identity. (Jonathan Frakes said it would’ve been better if his love interest was played by a man, and I agree.)

“The Thaw,” VGR - David St. Hubbins plays Pennywise in the Matrix on a frozen planet.
Wow, I think “The Thaw” is one of the best VGR episodes. Different strokes etc.
