Didn't rewatch it for decades. But isn't this romance a very background narrative arc until the very latest season?

It ruined it for me. I just can't care about two creatures who wouldn't care about each other in a biological sense irl kiss on tv.

The "making one of the unique alien main characters look more human to be a better sell as a love interest to the audience" part is unfortunately ever present though. Then again, they already went in that direction between the pilot and the first episode.
