I'm so disappointed in Riker and Troi...

elfsOmaha informs me that Riker and Troi got married somewhere along the way in movie ten, Nemesis which breaks the rule that even-numbered Star Trek movies don't suck. I haven't seen Nemesis so I was unaware of this.
I'm kind-of disappointed by this. I wanted them to be awkward fuckbuddies for the rest of their lives. That was what the chemistry between Jonathan Frakes and Mirina Sirtis gave off, and writing to that vibe would have been perfect for them.
It takes a bad writer in a poorly-thought-out universe to decide to marry two people who get together once in a while, fuck like mad, and then have trouble looking at each other in the morning... and then do it again three weeks later. Repeatedly.
