And no, we're not talking about Kirk/Spock.
It was nearly sixty years ago that Nurse Christine Chapel first confessed her love for Spock in Star Trek: The Original Series Season 1, Episode 4, "The Naked Time." After the Enterprise crew becomes intoxicated by a mysterious compound that destroys inhibitions, Chapel corners the hapless Vulcan in sickbay and pours her heart out to him.
Strange New Worlds, on the other hand, has given T'Pring a personality, a family, and a career rehabilitating Vulcans who have committed crimes, and provided her and Spock's relationship with some much-needed depth. They clearly care for each other, as each goes to great lengths to make their long-distance romance work and to appease T'Pring's difficult mother.
Did Spock Have Feelings for Christine in 'TOS'? Whether Spock ever returned Christine's feelings in the original series was unclear. When she confesses her love in "The Naked Time," Spock, also feeling the effects of the compound, seems paralyzed, and repeats emphatically, "I am in control of my emotions," perhaps trying to convince himself as much as he is trying to convince her.
Until we get to Episode 5, "Charades." After a convoluted series of mishaps during Spock and T'Pring's engagement ritual which leads to T'Pring suggesting that the two take a break, finally, finally, he and Christine confess their feelings to each other and share a kiss... and, gauging by where the episode places its final cut, probably more. Though some canon-ites were angry, long-time Spock/Chapel shippers finally got to cheer.
