Oh man yeah.
He was like, "I came across time for you." lol. That's like the greatest hookup line you could drop on someone.

Farscape as has been noted has the easy response to this question. To throw something different out there: Masane and Takayama in the Witchblade anime.

I kind of like Adama and Roslin from BSG.
Why? I like it how established Okabe and Kurisu as firmly canon and Mayuri was strictly his friend. (Let's pretend Zero didn't happen.)

Also Max and Furiosa is the best non-romance in sci-fi

Gattaca - Vincent and Irene
Best one. Best Sci fi
Great choice!
Gattaca - Vincent and Irene
One of the GOAT, definitely. Can't believe I forgot about it.
Since I just finished S3 of 12 Monkeys, I need to include Cassie and James.
as usual, people that post shit without saying what it is are the worst.

I really, really love the portrayal of Greg and Rose Quartz' romance...
...on Steven Universe.
It feels really earnest, and I adore the way they tackle the inherent misunderstandings that would mostly likely come with an interspecies/interstellar romance.

Someone already posted the couple before, it's Farscape. I started watching it a while back and stopped, it's an intriguing show with really cool characters. I need to go back and finish it. I really loved the female lead, for that era, she was distinctly strong and non sexualized.

WALL-E and EVE are just the best. They're one of my favorite romances period and part of why WALL-E is my favorite Pixar movie. The ending scene of
is so touching (
).
EVE trying desperately to bring back WALL-E's memory after WALL-E had spent most of the movie trying to win her heart
especially the part where she gives up and starts quietly humming the Hello Dolly! tune back to him

Since my favorite sci-fi couple of John & Aeryn (Farscape) have already been posted, some others that I immediately think of are:
The Truman Story - I've always found Truman & Lauren's brief romance to be really affecting, a little sad mixed with the sweetness.
Cloud Atlas - Frobisher and Sixsmith are played wonderfully as soulmates doomed to be kept apart as victims of circumstance and time.
My first crush. That should could have crushed me is not lost on me.

The Abyss
One of my favorites.
A nice non cheesy take on relationships too.

As someone who watched the latter seasons of Stargate SG-1 but not Farscape, it's pretty weird to see Claudia Black and Ben Browder in those gifs, lol.

You've made a terrible mistake.
John and Aeryn are GOAT. No half-ass two hour movie romance can compete. And nothing else on Sci-Fi TV comes close.

Mandela and Marygay in The Forever War were great because it has the right amount of obstacles.
(pic from the comic adaptation, because why not? Although I don't know if it is any good)
Coincidentally, I already addressed your interpretation specifically in a gaming side thread on this very issue about "Pairings/Couples You Dislike". Of course, I was just one in a line of people who disagreed with that pairing. I also went into extensive detail as to why I hated the true ending in the OT for Steins;Gate beyond just that pairing, recapping what I already said in the general VN OT.
I was already pretending that 0 didn't happen by skipping it because I was less than enthused to play it between the premise and how the original ended, but now I'm curious as to what relevance, if any, it has to no longer firmly establishing one "right" choice for players.

Since Aeryn Sun and Michael Crichton from Farscape are already taken, I'll say Mr. and Mrs. Wellick from Mr. Robot
Blade Runner
Deckard and Rachael
I've never seen two people have less chemistry

Mayuri confessed that she was in love with Okabe, who hadn't realised
Steins;Gate isn't about the player's choice, though. It's a story about Okabe, not you. Okabe fell in love with Kurisu. Although he was very good friends with Mayuri, he never developed romantic feelings for her (other than in a non-canon ending where he accepted he couldn't be with Kurisu). Yes, if Kurisu hadn't shown up, that friendship could eventually have grown into romance, but it was pretty clear the entire time that his relationship to Kurisu was different than that to Mayuri.
Also, do play 0. Although you might not like the overarching premise, most of the time it's just a background thing (S;G
after all, this is the Okabe that believes saving Kurisu is impossible and hanging onto Mayuri is the only thing he has left
Blade Runner
Deckard and Rachael
I love BR, but no. Not this. That scene is a stain on an otherwise GOAT movie.
YES! Farscape is a fine example with emotional low points, high points and huge payoffs that are seasons in the making.

In video gaming it's definitely Johnny and River from To The Moon.

Most of Bill Murray's best moments were Venkman's interactions with Dana. Despite the weirdness of some of their scenes, they did have amazing chemistry.
