12	InterspeciesRomance in LiveActionTV.
13	----
14
15	%%* Also fellow Korean TV series ''Forbidden Love'' and ''Gumiho: Tales of a Fox Child.''
16	* Creator/JossWhedon examples:
17	** Series/{{Buffy\|TheVampireSlayer}} and Angel, Buffy and Spike: human/vampire.
18	** Cordelia and Series/{{Angel}}: "augmented human"/vampire.
19	** Cordelia and Connor: different type "augmented human".
20	** Cordelia and Doyle: human/half-demon.
21	** Cordelia and Groosalugg: "augmented human"/human-demon hybrid.
22	** Darla and Angel: [[spoiler:human]]/vampire, for a very short time in ''Angel'' Season 2.
23	** Willow and Oz: human/werewolf.
24	** Buffy and the Immortal (false rumor started by Andrew): human/[[BuffySpeak sort-of-demon-ish guy... thing?]].
25	** The Immortal and Darla and Drusilla: immortal "human"?/vampire/vampire.
26	** [[spoiler:Jasmine in Cordelia's body]] and The Beast: PhysicalGod / BigRedDevil.
27	** Angel and Nina: vampire/werewolf.
28	** Marcus Hamilton/Harmony: HumanoidAbomination/vampire.
29	** Willow/Aluwyn: human/SnakePerson.
30	** Dawn and Kenny: human (technically)/demon. Yeah, check out the Jo Chen cover for Issue 25 of Season 8 to meet all your daily {{Squick}} requirements. There are tentacles.
31	** Whistler's parents: pure-blood demon/higher being. They were killed for this.
32
33	----
34
35	* In ''Series/AlienNation'', there's an on-again-off-again romance develops between human cop Matthew Sykes and Newcomer Cathy Frankel.
36	* ''Series/AliensInTheFamily'' is a comedy about a single father from Earth and a single mother from space who get married.
37	* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
38	** Sheridan/Delenn (Human/Minbari-Human Hybrid). Also subverted with Valen, and his wife, since even though [[spoiler:Valen was actually Commander Sinclair turned to a Human-Minbari Hybrid,]] according to Word of God his wife was [[spoiler:Catherine Sakai]], who presumably went through the same process.
39	** G'Kar is demonstrably fond of women of other species, particularly Humans and Centauri. At the end of the series it seems likely that Lyta Alexander is aiming to hook up with him long-term.
40	** Earlier, there was heavy innuendo of MerlinAndNimue between Lyta and '''Kosh'''[[note]]their actors were actually married[[/note]], who was a squid-shaped {{Energy Being\|s}}. Although the fact that they were both telepathic might have [[MentalAffair helped with the physical incompatibilities]].
41	** There's a brief reference to Brakiri pilots patronizing Drazi brothels.
42	** In general it seems that interspecies relations are quite common here - in the pilot movie a list of species "not recommended" for intercourse with humans is mentioned, G'Kar also probably had a one-night stand with one of Londo's wives in "Soul Mates", and in "Born to the Purple" his attache (a female Narn) is approached by a human dude in a strip club, who obviously tries to pick her up.
43	** And in the spin-off ''Series/{{Crusade}}'', the film "Snow White And The Seven Pak'ma'ra" was viewed by a couple of the characters. The most charitable explanation of the Pak'ma'ra is that they are humanoid-shape.
44	* ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|2003}}'' has
45	** Baltar and the "Six" in his head (human and angel)
46	** Caprica Six and the "Baltar" in her head (Cylon and angel)
47	** Helo and Athena (human and Cylon)
48	** Cally and Tyrol (human and Cylon)
49	** Starbuck and Anders (human/angel and Cylon)
50	** Leoben (Cylon) is a StalkerWithACrush for Starbuck (human/angel)
51	** Cain and Gina Six (human and Cylon)
52	** And to save space, Baltar (human) has been with the following Cylons: Caprica Six, Gina Six, D'Anna, Tory, and Lida Six.
53	** Boomer and Tyrol seemed to be one at first, but then Tyrol proved to be a TomatoInTheMirror, making it a Same Species Romance between two Cylons.
54	%%* This trope was the whole point of ''Series/{{Beauty and the Beast\|1987}}''.
55	* ''Series/CarnivalRow'':
56	** The one between Philo (a human) and Vignette (a faerie) is the core romance of the show, albeit very much 'off' for most of the first season. Philo is also the product of one himself, so not a full example as he's half Faerie.
57	** Imogen and Agreus also end up falling in love and running away together at the end of the Season 1 finale.
58	** Leonara, leader of the New Dawn communist insurgency in the Pact, also reveals that her lover is a human man, and supports Imogen in her being with Agreus, giving her advice on this.
59	* ''Series/Class2016'' has Charlie/Matteusz (Rhodian-disguised-as-human/human -- Charlie's disguise is so full that Matteusz twice explains that he has no apparent anatomical differences) and Quill/Ballon (Quill-disguised-as-human/shapeshifting-Law-locked-in-human-form).
60	* Tragically played with in ''Series/{{CSI}}''
61	** The episode [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom "Fur and Loathing"]]; while all the characters involved are physically human, the victim was accidentally killed as an indirect result of his new flame's former boyfriend poisoning him with castor oil for stealing his girl... all on the basis of fursona species segregation (the victim was a raccoon, the girl a lamb, the boyfriend a wolf).
62	** A later episode has a werewolf persona guy who wants to marry a vampire persona woman. The other vampires find out he changed sides and beat him to death.
63	* ''Series/TheDailyShow'' did a short piece on a biologist claiming that humans are more closely related to orangutans or something. At the end, we see John Oliver and an orangutan doing all the romantic stuff, terminating with Oliver hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign on his hotel room door.
64	* ''{{Series/Defiance}}'':
65	** Christie (Human) and Alak (Castithan) get engaged, then married.
66	** Irisa (Irathient) and Tommy (human) kick one off in "The Serpent's Egg". People also assume this is one possibility between Irisa and Nolan; given the state of relations between the different species, it's in their best interest not to correct anyone on the matter unless it's absolutely necessary.
67	** In a villainous example, Castithan Rahm Tak is married to Irathient Volubela.
68	* ''Series/ADiscoveryOfWitches'': The witch, Diana starts a relationship with the vampire, Matthew. It turns out this violates the Covenant, a treaty between witches, demons and vampires which forbids such relationships due to fears it would upset the balance of power between them.
69	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
70	** Anyone falling for the Doctor, though they're a {{Human Alien\|s}} ([[BizarreAlienBiology at least externally]]). Except for Romana or the Master, that is, as they're the same species.
71	** In the classic series, Susan (Time Lord) left the TARDIS crew to be with David Campbell (Human), while Leela (Human) left to be with Andred (Time Lord). EU sources say that Susan and David adopted three orphaned human children, and then had one of their own, making their family members examples of HalfHumanHybrid and InterspeciesAdoption.
72	** Captain Jack and... anyone and anything. There's a good reason he's the page image for ExtremeOmnisexual. According to the Doctor, by the 51st century humans in general embody the BoldlyComing philosophy.
73	** Brannigan (cat person) and his human wife, Valerie, in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E3Gridlock "Gridlock"]].
74	** The Master and Lucy Saxon, his wife (Time Lord/Human).
75	** Astrid and Bannakaffalatta from [[Recap/DoctorWho2007CSVoyageOfTheDamned "Voyage of the Damned"]], though that seems to be mostly friendly banter.
76	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp "The Unicorn and the Wasp"]]: [[spoiler:Lady Eddison]] and her long ago love affair with [[spoiler:a giant sentient wasp]]. Though he did have a human form.
77	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]] has Rose (human) and [[spoiler:Biological Metacrisis Doctor (part Time Lord, part human)]].
78	** As of [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E4TheDoctorsWife "The Doctor's Wife"]], we have [[spoiler:Time Lord/TARDIS]] confirmed.
79	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar "A Good Man Goes to War"]] gives us Madame Vastra (Silurian) and Jenny (human).
80	** The Creator/BigFinish audio "The Boy That Time Forgot" has one-sided Adric/Nyssa (different species of HumanAliens).
81	* TVB's ''Series/DragonLove'', which is about the romance between a dragon-girl from the heavens who descended to the world of mortals to hone her skills, having her own human form as a young woman, before falling for a human scholar who unexpectedly saved her years ago when she was a juvenile dragon. While a romance blossomed between the two, unfortunately their relationship is literally forbidden by the ''heavens'', and the inclusion of a Dragon Hunter who follows VanHelsingHateCrimes make things even worse.
82	* Revealed in a flashback in ''Series/TheEvent'', between the {{Human Alien\|s}} Simon Lee and his human lover decades in the past. This could quite possibly be a MayflyDecemberRomance, since we don't really have any idea just [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld how old his people actually are]].
83	* ''Series/FantasyIsland2021'': It turns out that Ruby's LoveInterest Isla is really a mermaid. Ruby is human, though given [[FountainOfYouth extended youth]] by being on the island.
84	* ''Series/{{Farscape}}'':
85	** D'Argo gets a lot of this. A Luxan, he was married (and had a child with) a Sebacean ([[HumanAliens human-offshoot]]); had a long-running romance with Chiana (a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Gray-Skinned Space Babe]]); thought about Jool (an Interion); and admitted planning on "approaching" Zhaan ([[PlantAliens human-looking plant]]) in one episode. And this doesn't begin to cover innuendo with random denizens of [[AdventureTowns Adventure Planets]].
86	** John Crichton's brief pairing with Zhaan, and his encounter with [[spoiler:Chiana]] in the past. His relationships with Aeryn Sun and Gilina Renaez too, considering the BizarreAlienBiology of Sebaceans.
87	** Scorpius (Sebacean/Scarran hybrd) had relationships with Natira, an alien of unknown origin, seemed to flirt with random aliens of the week (M'Lee, Ro'Na), had a relationship with Sikozu, a Kalish [[spoiler:and a bioloid]], and all that HoYay with Crichton and Braca...
88	** Moya's offspring (''LivingShip/regular spaceship''), though that was less "romance" and more "mad science experiment".
89	* Early on in ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Jason asks Eleanor if [[ArtificialIntelligence Jan]][[RidiculouslyHumanRobot et]] is single, to which Eleanor snaps that he can't date Janet because she's not human. [[spoiler: This doesn't stop him from confessing his love to Janet a few episodes later and the two [[HappilyMarried getting married.]]]]
90	* In an episode of ''Series/GreenAcres'', Arnold the Pig falls in love with Mr Haney's basset hound Cynthia.
91	* ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'' and ''Series/MakoMermaidsAnH2OAdventure'' feature pairings between mermaids and humans, that being Cleo and Charlotte with Lewis, Rikki with Zane, Emma with Ash, Bella with Will, Sirena with David, and Mimmi with Chris. They also make magical distinctions between humans turned mermaids and natural born mermaids, meaning Evie (human mermaid) and Zac (natural merman) as well as Ondina (natural mermaid) and Erik (human merman) technically count, despite being the same superficially.
92	* ''Series/{{Hyperdrive}}''. Hilariously spoofed in the compulsory sex education video watched before a FirstContact mission. We don't see it (fortunately) but the crews' reactions to what they are watching show it would make even Kirk think twice.
93	-->"Let's learn about another '''A'''lien '''S'''ex '''D'''isease. This crewmember had intercourse with a [[OctopoidAliens Glygonthian octopoid]]. Let's take a close look at his genitals. Pustules have developed, and on the pustules: warts. Soon, his entire groin explodes, leaving five baby octopoids, each with his face. Remember, Alien Sex is Danger Sex."
94	* ''Film/LiveForeverAsYouAreNowWithAlanResnick'': Though both are just computer-generated beings, the humanoid Teddy is deeply in love with... a writhing ball of what appears to be digital flesh.
95	* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'' has the human Bronwyn and Silvan Elf Arondir. They have feelings for each other, which is cause for idle gossip (and even malicious slander) within Bronwyn's community.
96	* In ''Series/MadeForLove'', Zelda (a dolphin) and Jasper (a human) become infatuated with each other after engaging in some deep conversation and light flirtation via a human-dolphin communication device, culminating in Jasper having an EroticDream about her that inspires him to [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy help her escape containment]].
97	* In one episode of ''Series/{{Misfits}}'', Kelly briefly dates a guy who turns out to have been a gorilla with the ability to shapeshift into human form.
98	%%* ''Series/MorkAndMindy''.
99	* The KoreanDrama ''Series/MyGirlfriendIsANineTailedFox'' features the titular nine-tailed fox, a mythical Korean creature which takes the form of a human woman ([[AttractiveBentSpecies and a ridiculously good-looking one in this instance]]).
100	* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': Between Grumpy (at the time of their meeting, Dreamy) the dwarf and Nova the fairy.
101	** Also between Zelena the human and Hades the deity.
102	* ''Series/OnceUponATimeInWonderland'': Between Alice the human and Cyrus the genie. [[spoiler:Subverted by the fact that Cyrus was once human. And once they are finally reunited in "Home", Cyrus is now human again, the trope no longer applies.]]
103	* ''Series/OutOfThisWorld1987'': Donna (Human) and Troy (Antarian), Troy is apparently a {{Human Alien\|s}}, though the only time he actually appears "in person", he's a somewhat abstract ghostly form. For the rest of the series, he only "appears" by way of a communication cube, which the other characters often treat as though it actually physically ''is'' Troy.
104	* ''Series/TheOutpost'':
105	** Human man Janzo and Blackblood woman Wren become lovers starting in Season 3, as do Talon (Blackblood) and Garret (Human).
106	** Aster, from the ancient Masters, loved a Human woman named Tally. [[spoiler: A child the couple had is the person who all Blackbloods descend from.]]
107	* ''Series/{{Reaper}}'': Ben hooks up with a demoness named Nina after she kidnaps him. She can transform between looking like a winged monster and a pretty blonde.
108	* In ''Series/RedDwarf'', Kryten, an artificially intelligent android, falls head-over-heels for Camille, a {{shapeshifting}} genetically engineered life form in her true form of a shapeless green blob.
109	* ''Series/ResidentAlien'': In Season 3, Harry starts a relationship with a woman from an [[BirdPeople avian species]].
110	* In ''Series/{{Roswell}}'', of course, Max, Michael and Isabel, who are bio-engineered human/alien hybrids have their human significant others. It was never explained if they would eventually be able to have children [[spoiler: though it was implied in the tie-in books that Max and Liz would have two children in the future. Zan, Max and Tess' offspring shouldn't count since both Max and Tess are hybrids of the same kind]].
111	* In ''Series/RoswellNewMexico'' centers around three aliens who view each other as siblings so all of their love interests are human.
112	* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'': Sabrina herself is half witch with a Warlock father and human mother. The show features many relationships between human mortals and denizens of the Other Realm, Roxy even allowing Frankenstein's monster to take her home after hooking up with him at Sabrina's Halloween party. We also have Salem who was a warlock turned into a cat by the Witch's Council as punishment for trying to take over the world. He still lusts after human/witch girls and spends a great deal of his time lounging around on Sabrina's bed whilst she and her female friends walk around in their nightwear. In one episode Roxy cuddles him to her ample bosom and Sabrina observes he seems to enjoy it a little too much. In another he ends up sharing a bubble bath with an enchanted Morgan.
113	* ''Series/Siren2018'':
114	** Ryn, a mermaid, becomes human Ben and Maddie's lover ([[{{Polyamory}} all at the same time]]).
115	** Helen is also descended from a female mermaid and a human man, while her relatives in the Marzdan family are as well.
116	* ''Series/{{Sliders}}'': Due to their sterility, the Kromags establish BreedingSlave camps for human women in order to create hybrid offspring. This is bad news for [[spoiler:Wade Wells, who gets hauled off to one in order to write her off the show (allegedly because the actress playing her asked for equal pay with her male co-stars)]].
117	* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'':
118	** Obviously, Clark and any female he is involved with. It helps that he is a {{Human Alien\|s}}.
119	** Also [[spoiler:Chloe and Davis. Borders on DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu]].
120	* ''Series/SpaceCases'' does this with the hinted feelings between Harlan and Catalina, Harlan and Suzee, Radu and Elmira, and Radu and Suzee. Granted as a kids show none of these went anywhere, but its still worth note. However excluding Elmira (who is a proper [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Green-Skinned Space Teen]]) every alien in this series is a {{Human Alien\|s}}. Also, aside from Radu, Suzee & Elmira, the other "aliens" are actually descended from genetically altered humans created to live on other planets in the solar system.
121	* As a rule, ''Franchise/StarTrek'' doesn't even blink over interspecies sex:
122	** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', of course, has Kirk and every [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Space Babe, Green Skinned]] or otherwise, ever.
123	*** In ''Requiem for Methusaleh'', Kirk falls in love with a woman who turns out to be an [[spoiler:android]], but it does not change his feelings.
124	*** One of the more complicates cases in TOS involves Zafram Cochrane (human) and the Companon (an {{Energy Being\|s}}).
125	*** Spock himself and Leila Kalomi (''This Side of Paradise''). He is forced by the spores into confronting his human feelings and tells her "I do love you".
126	*** Spock also fell in love and had a sexual relationship with another non-Vulcan woman, in ''All Our Yesterdays'' while under the influence of time displacement. In addition, a number of human or at least non-Vulcan women showed an interest in Spock at some point, including Nurse Chapel (desperately in love with him), Lt. Uhura (flirted with him in a couple of episodes) and Droxine, a human-looking princess (whose interest was reciprocated) from an alien planet in the episode ''Cloud Minders''. His relationship with the Romulan Commander (''The Enterprise Incident'') may or may not count; Vulcans and Romulans are offshoots of the same species (and a fairly recent offshoot at that, especially given how long both species live).
127	*** Mr. Spock's parents, Sarek (Vulcan) and Amanda (human), are never depicted as anything but HappilyMarried.
128	*** Sarek's second wife, Perin, was also human, and they were also HappilyMarried. This led to fandom speculation that Sarek had a human fetish.
129	** ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has K'Ehleyr (herself a Human/Klingon hybrid, and thus the result of one) has a child with a Klingon, Worf.
130	*** Tasha Yar had a one-night stand with a "fully-functional" android, Data. She was under the influence of the polywater intoxication, and after recovering, told Data that it "never happened", and he never held her to it. Despite this, Data always had feelings for her later, keeping a holographic photograph of her in his quarters after her death. In fact, the final from "Skin of Evil", where she was killed, has her final recorded message at the end telling Data "it did happen", taking back the original retraction, but this was cut from the scene due to length. However, given the circumstances (both the brevity and the [[AliensMadeThemDoIt external]] [[QuestionableConsent influence]]), calling it a "romance" is iffy.
131	*** Riker never seems to be interested in any female ''unless'' she is extraterrestrial, and apparently is irresistible to all of them. Good thing the show ended before he got around to the Horta; that acid's a bitch to clean off.
132	** In [[Film/StarTrek2009 the 2009 film]], young Spock [[spoiler:has a romantic relationship with Uhura in the alternate timeline]] while Kirk, unsurprisingly, [[spoiler:has a fling with Gaila, a green-skinned cadet from Orion]].
133	** In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "You are Cordially Invited,", Martok's wife has some serious reservations about Worf marrying a non-Klingon.
134	*** In another episode Quark (Ferengi) and Grilka (Klingon) get married for political reasons. There is some mild attraction between them, but they get a divorce, then later have one last fling. Grilka's loyal family servant is at first disapproving, then later resigned to their attraction. Her bodyguard, on the other hand, is quite violent in expressing his disapproval.
135	*** Quark and a Cardassian woman.
136	*** Odo and Arissa in "A Simple Investigation," and later Odo and Kira. The relationship between Kira and Odo has the extra twist of Odo not even being actually humanoid. Most of the day he spends in the shape of a play dough man, but the natural form of his race is a viscous liquid into which he turns back at night. And yes, we have given the PowerPerversionPotential due consideration.
137	*** Several interspecies romances and even marriages between the main and recurring characters happen: [[spoiler:Jadzia Dax and Worf (Joined Trill/Klingon), Kira Nerys and Odo (Bajoran/Changeling), Rom and Leeta (Ferengi and Bajoran), Ezri Dax and Bashir (joined Trill/Human)]] and the recurring mixed species character [[spoiler:Ziyal, the daughter of the Cardassian baddie [[Characters/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineGulDukat Dukat]] and one of his Bajoran mistresses]].
138	*** Arguably applies to Benjamin Sisko's father Joseph (human) and birthmother Sarah (temporarily a combination of human and Prophet); but Joseph Sisko thought that Sarah was human and had simply left him and their son.
139	*** In fact, even setting aside [[spoiler: Ezri]], Bashir seems to prefer non-humans--he had a long-standing crush on Jadzia Dax (joined Trill), a short-term fling with Melora Pazlar (Elaysian), and a moderately-long relationship with Leeta (Bajoran). [[spoiler: And Elim Garak (Cardassian) fell in love with him, but has yet to tell him as of the ''Literature/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineRelaunch''.]]
140	*** In the episode "Melora", Dax recounts an anecdote of two people who didn't even breath the same type of air getting together and staying together for 57 years. Even better, she's telling the story to try to convince Melora not to let inter-species differences get in the way of true love.
141	** B'Elanna Torres on ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' often comments that her childhood was not a happy one, because her human father "Couldn't handle living with one Klingon, let alone two". She later weds Tom Paris (human), but despite her qualms, he does not have the same issues her father did. They end up HappilyMarried.
142	*** The perils of this are explored in "The Disease" when Harry Kim has a passionate affair with an alien woman without checking with his doctor first. No, he doesn't get an alien STD - the disease is love. Unfortunately the attraction is not only emotional but biological as well. Plus Harry's skin tends to glow, which must make sex in the dark easier but seriously squicks his friends. Harry should have known better though; in "Favorite Son" a race of sexy space vampires try to suck out all his DNA - as they have few males it's the only way they get enough genetic material to continue their species.
143	*** Kes (Ocampa) and Neelix (Talaxian) had a relationship for a while (Neelix had rescued Kes from a life of slavery on Kazon). They later broke up because Neelix was being too overprotective, and Kes' last contribution to the crew (where she uses her PsychicPowers to hurl ''Voyager'' and its crew safely beyond Borg space, 9,500 light-years closer to Earth) pretty much ruins any chance of them getting back together (of course, given that Ocampa typically only live about nine years, it likely would have been a MayflyDecemberRomance if it had worked out).
144	*** Kes (Ocampa) and Tom Paris (Human) also are a couple in a parallel time line where the two have a daughter and a grandson.
145	*** Q is constantly pursuing Janeway, but while he promises that foreplay with a Q can last for decades it appears the actual act only lasts a second to the outside observer ("The Q and the Grey").
146	*** Chakotay (human) has an ill-fated love affair with Seska (Cardassian posing as Bajoran); the fact that she was sent to spy on his crew proved to be a significant obstacle. He also haa brief relationships with Kellin (Remoran), and Valerie Archer ([[StarfishAliens Species 8472]] posing as human, though he's aware of the imposture).
147	** ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'', where humans had only been in contact with extraterrestrials for less than a century and sometimes still get squicked over the idea of romancing them. But this didn't stop Reed and Trip from being distracted in the ''first episode'' by a pair of alien dancing girls, and no less than three human crewmembers (Reed, Archer, and finally Trip for the win) from drooling over T'Pol at some point or another.
148	*** Also, in the episode "The Andorian Incident", an [[BoldlyComing Andorian flirts with T'pol.]]
149	*** It is hinted that even farther in the future, the 30th century, interspecies relations probably became very commonplace. The time traveler Daniels mentions that he is "human, more or less" implying that he may have some alien genetics. The body of another time traveler whose trip didn't go so well was also examined and found to be a hybrid of ''numerous'' species, including human, Vulcan, Rigellian and Terrelian.
150	*** The episode "Dear Doctor" had a female human (Crewman Cutler) getting interested in Denobulan doctor Phlox. Whether his sixteen-inch tongue is part of the appeal was not mentioned, but the good doctor did caution her on the cultural differences of his species (Denobulan males are somewhat inhibited, but on the other hand have polyamorous marriages - Phlox has three wives who each have two other husbands). Likewise, Trip is squicked out when one of Phlox's wives puts the moves on him and Phlox is excited rather than annoyed.
151	** ''Literature/StarTrekNewFrontier'' manages to include several Human/Xenexian relationships, plus Human/Thallonian and Xenexian/Thallonian.
152	** Across [=TNG=] and [=DS9=], Lwaxana Troi is shown, either within the show or as backstory, to have been romantically involved with several men, none of whom are Betazoid -- Ian Troi (Human, with whom she had 2 children, including main character Deanna), Timicin (Keylon), Campio (Kolostian), and Jeyal (Tavnian, with whom she has a son) -- as well as unreciprocated feelings for Jean-Luc Picard (Human) and Odo (Changeling) -- though she did marry the latter, in order to get out of her marriage with Jeyal.
153	** ''Series/StarTrekPicard'':
154	*** Dahj (who believes she's human, but is actually an android) is dating a Xahean.
155	*** Soji, an android who thinks she's human, is in a casual sexual relationship with Narek, who's Romulan.
156	*** Raffi Musiker's son, Gabriel Hwang, is married to a Romulan woman named Pel, and they are expecting a baby girl.
157	** ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'':
158	*** Michael/Ash (human/Klingon surgically altered to look human)
159	*** Michael/Book (human/Kwejian)
160	*** Adira/Gray (human/Trill)
161	*** In 3190 the newly elected Federation President Laira Rillak is a woman with human, Bajoran, and Cardassian ancestry.
162	*** In the fourth season the [[spoiler:Kelpian Saru and the Vulcan T'Rina began a relationship.]]
163	* ''Series/{{Supergirl\|2015}}'':
164	** Most of Kara's LoveInterests are humans. Justified since it was believed that her cousin, Kal-El, was the only other surviving Kryptonian. Even with the reveal that there are other survivors working for Astra, they're all evil, so not exactly topping the list for eligible love interests. Plus one of them is her uncle. [[spoiler:Season 3 reveals that there is actually a community of Kryptonians living on Argo, but Kara chooses to remain on Earth.]]
165	** Per the norm, Clark and Lois are an item in this universe, so they also count.
166	** Non, a now-dead Kryptonian (and Kara's EvilUncle-in-law), and Indigo, a Coluan, were previously a couple.
167	** In Season 2, Kara strikes a relationship with Mon-El (a Daxamite), although they appear to be from related species (there may have been previous examples of this trope between Krypton and Daxam due to the planets' proximity).
168	** Wynn also briefly dates a girl from Starhaven. After their first one-night stand, she's surprised that he called her again, figuring that he's one of those humans, who likes to sleep with alien girls but not actually date them. Wynn points out that he doesn't have a problem dating aliens. He just doesn't want to rush into relationships, having been burned in the past.
169	** In Season 3, it's revealed that Mon-El is married to Imra Ardeen, a Titanian.
170	** Nia gets involved with Brainy in Season 4, though their romance turns out to be really more on-again/off-again. She is half-Human, half-Naltorian, he's Coluan. Her parents are a straighter example, as her father is a human while her mother is a full Naltorian.
171	** J'onn J'onzz (Green Martian) begins a relationship with M'gann M'orzz (White Martian) that starts off turbulent (she lies about her identity at first by disguising herself as a Green Martian, which upsets him as her kind exterminated his species) before solidifying in season 5.
172	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': And these are just the canon ones...
173	** Gabriel (angel)/Kali (goddess).
174	** Michelle (human)/Jack (rugaru).
175	** Neil (human)/Angela (zombie).
176	** Jeffery (human)/[[NoNameGiven his demon]].
177	** Dean (human)/Anna (fallen angel).
178	** Sam (human)/[[spoiler:Madison (werewolf)]].
179	** Sam/Ruby (demon).
180	** Sam/Amy (kitsune).
181	** Lila (human)/Chronos (god).
182	** Bobby (human)/[[spoiler:Eleanor (monster)]].
183	** Charlie (human)/Gilda (fairy).
184	** James (human witch)/Portia (familiar).
185	** Meg (demon)/Castiel (angel).
186	** Crowley (demon)/Naomi (angel).
187	** Dean/Lydia (Amazon).
188	** Betsy (human)/Brick (Mayan sort-of god).
189	** Hayley (human)/Prometheus (Titan).
190	** Kate (human while they're together)/Michael (werewolf).
191	** Benny (vampire)/Andrea (human).
192	** Larry (human)/Maritza ([[ImAHumanitarian pishtaco]]).
193	** David Lassiter (shapeshifter)/Violet Duval (werewolf).
194	** Bunny Lacroix (human) / a shapeshifter.
195	** Kelly Kline(human)/Lucifer(angel)(though technically she didn't know he was Lucifer while they were together)
196	** [[spoiler:Dean (human)]]/Castiel (angel), at least on Cas’s side.
197	* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
198	** ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger'' has Doggie Cruger, an anthropomorphic dog, who has feelings for his subordinate, the half-human half-swan person Swan Shiratori (whose own parents must have fit this trope). This plot element wasn't retained when ''Dekaranger'' was adapted into ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' and Cruger's counterpart was married to a new character of his own species (though there are a few hints that Swan's counterpart Kat does have feelings for Kruger).
199	** The next series, ''[[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Magiranger]],'' has the Rangers as {{Half Human Hybrid}}s, part human and part Sky Saint/Heavenly Saint. This is underplayed, though. Also, Urara winds up paired with another Saint, Hikaru.
200	** ''Magiranger's Power Rangers'' counterpart, ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'', has several interspecies {{Last Minute Hookup}}s, such as Leelee and Phineas (Vampire (or at least born from a vampire if not one herself) and troll/goblin hybrid), Toby and Necrolai (human and (ex-?)vampire), Madison and Nick (human and {{Human Alien\|s}} from mystic dimension), with a little subtext between Daggeron and Itassis (mystic {{Human Alien\|s}} and the ''highest-ranking demon now that the BigBad is gone'') for flavor.
201	** It was present as early as ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', when Billy [[IChooseToStay chose to stay]] on Aquitar because he had fallen in love with a colleague who'd helped him find a cure for his aging disease. Notable in that she was amphibious, and he was actively choosing to live long-term on a planet where most all life goes on underwater. Billy, despite being a blue ranger, does ''not'' breathe water. Hey, LoveMakesYouCrazy.
202	** Chad (human) falls in love with Merina ([[OurMermaidsAreDifferent mermaid]]) in ''Series/PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'' (episodes "Ocean Blue" and "Neptune's Daughter").
203	** A weird one is revealed in ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'', although it actually relates to characters from ''Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger''. The Gokaigers' latest mecha, Machalcon, is apparently [[spoiler: the son of Bear RV (obviously, a bear) and Speedor (a condor). Machalcon is a falcon. [[FridgeLogic How exactly does Bear + Condor = Falcon?]]]]
204	** In ''Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger,'' four of the six Rangers are from an alternate dimension populated by {{Beast M\|an}}en and remain cut off from their world for most of the series. In the post-series movie, the two worlds have become one and humans and "Zyumen" are living together. Misao's rival during a martial arts tournament, who helps him over the course of the story as they figure out the evil plot du jour, is a rhino Zyuman, and they end up falling in love. Thing is, a Zyuman is most definitely ''not'' a human with [[LittleBitBeastly some small, cute hint at an animal nature]] tacked on, and the Zyuohgers' ability to look human is a disguise provided by their changing devices; no other Zyumen have this. Lilian is a rhino on two legs with blond hair thrown in, has no other form, and nobody ever thought she did. Misao loves her all the same. (Similarly, one must wonder what a human looks like to a rhino on two legs...) It's played for laughs at first, but by the end they act like any other couple, with the full support of the others. This makes for the first pairing in either franchise where the non-human member of the OfficialCouple was clearly non-human-looking.
205	%%* A big part of Creator/StevenSpielberg's ''Taken'' miniseries. Allie was the product of several generations of it.
206	* ''Series/{{Taken}}'': In "Beyond the Sky", Sally Clarke has a relationship with the alien John.
207	* ''Series/TeenWolf'':
208	** Scott (werewolf) and Allison (human)
209	** As of Season 2's finale, Jackson is a [[spoiler: werewolf]] and Lydia is a [[spoiler: banshee (revealed in season 3)]]. This also applies to Danny/Ethan (human/werewolf) and Derek/Jennifer (werewolf/druid).
210	** Season 3 sees Scott start a relationship with Kira, a kitsune, while Allison and Isaac (a werewolf) date for a few days before she [[spoiler: [[DroppedABridgeOnHim is killed off]].]] Also in the same season, Scott's MuggleBestFriend Stiles loses his virginity to [[spoiler: Malia Tate, a werecoyote]].
211	%%* ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'''s Tosh and "Mary" (in "Greeks Bearing Gifts").
212	* ''Series/Tracker2001'' implied it in Mel's backstory. According to the official character information, her grandfather was Cirronian.
213	* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZone1959S5E18BlackLeatherJackets Black Leather Jackets]]", the alien Scott falls in love with the human girl Ellen Tillman.
214	* ''Series/TwoSentenceHorrorStories'': In "[[Recap/TwoSentenceHorrorStoriesS3E5Teeth Teeth]]" Cara is a human dating Olivia, a vampire.
215	* In ''Series/{{V 1983}}'', Willy the kind alien and the human Harmony Moore had a genuine romance, unfortunately cut short by [[spoiler: her death in the second TV movie]].
216	* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'':
217	** Stefan is a century old immortal (vampire) and Elena is an eighteen year old mortal human. This changed when [[spoiler:Elena was turned into a vampire as well]].
218	** Matt/Caroline (human/vampire) in Season 2. In fact, pretty much every relationship with Caroline falls into this: Tyler/Caroline (werewolf/vampire), Klaus/Caroline (vampire-werewolf hybrid/vampire), Jesse/Caroline (human/vampire). Although [[spoiler: the latter turns into a vampire eventually]].
219	** There's also Damon/Katherine and Stefan/Katherine, back when the Salvatores were human. And Jeremy/Anna (human/vampire) fall into this, as it was before [[spoiler: he became a supernatural hunter)]].
220	** Moving to ''Series/TheOriginals'', we have Marcel/Rebekah; while both of them are vampire, flashbacks revealed that they started their romance when Marcel was a human a hundred years ago, and he was later turned by Klaus in exchange for leaving Rebekah. Also, there's Marcel/Sophie (vampire/witch) and Elijah/Celeste (original vampire/witch).
221	* From the improv game show ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', there's the song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeNAJYezl6A "Bubbles"]], which was made up one-word-at-a-time and is about [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu a man romancing a sea monster.]]
222	* ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'': Alex/Mason (wizard/werewolf), Justin/Rosie (wizard/angel), and Justin/Juliet (wizard/vampire). In one episode, Justin dates a werewolf, and it's also mentioned that he dated a centaur before as well.
223	* ''Series/WizardsVsAliens'': Human Wizard Tom Clark and Lexi of the Nekross. After several close moments across series one and two, the two become trapped in the mystical Neverside realm where magic reins supreme and where time passes differently for any who serve there (i.e, years pass in this realm while hours pass in our own). In between searching for Lexi's brother, the two reveal the true extent of their feelings and consummate their relationship, producing a child they name after Tom's friend Benny. Ultimately Benny arrives and the family attempt to leave the Neverside with Lexi's brother, but upon leaving, all they had accomplished in the Neverside, including their son, vanishes from existence. Tom and Lexi mourn the loss of the child, and go back to their separate lives amongst their own people, with the memory of their days together gradually fading until it feels more like a dream.
224	* ''Series/WynonnaEarp'': Wynonna herself has had sexual encounters, though unknowingly, with both a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Revenant]] and an angel. Her little sister Waverly [[spoiler: [[{{Nephilim}} is half angel]]]], so her relationship with TokenHuman Nicole also counts.
225	* The [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaurs]] in ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'' (who are [[OneGenderRace all male]]) and human women. We also have numerous examples of romances between Gods and mortals, producing demigod offspring including Hercules and very possibly Xena herself.
226	* Averted in ''Series/TheXFiles''. Though various monster/human relationships are seen, when one character thinks that the reason [[TheGreys an alien]] took human form was because he fell in love with an Earth woman, the alien just laughs (it turns out he fell in love with baseball. And laughter).
