Discovery’s Moll & L’ak Are “The Coolest Couple In Star Trek History”, Say Season 5’s New Actors

Warning: This Article Contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5

Star Trek: Discovery season 5’s new cast members, Elias Toufexis and Eve Harlow, make their case for L’ak and Moll as the “coolest couple in Star Trek history.” Moll and L’ak are Discovery season 5’s main antagonists, but they’re more than villains seeking the ancient treasure of the Progenitors. L’ak and Moll are head-over-heels in love, and they’re racing with the USS Discovery to locate the hidden power to create life itself in Star Trek: Discovery season 5.

Eve Harlow and Elias Toufexis spoke with Screen Rant for an upcoming exclusive interview about Star Trek: Discovery season 5. While Discovery is full of love stories such as Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Cleveland Booker (David Ajala), and Ambassador Saru (Doug Jones) and President T’Rina (Tara Rosling), Toufexis and Harlow set Moll and L’ak above them and explain why they feel the renegade couriers are the best couple in Star Trek. Read their quotes below:

Elias Toufexis: I’d say they’re the best couple in Star Trek history.

Eve Harlow: Obviously, we’re the best because it’s us!

Elias Toufexis: I mean, look, they’re the coolest. They’re the coolest couple in Star Trek history, that’s for sure. They’re smart. They’re in love. They’re passionate. They know what they want. They do what they need to do to get it. And they don’t care who’s standing in their way. But they’re not inherently evil. They’re not inherently villains, really. Yeah, they’re the antagonists of the show. But they’re they’re doing what they’re doing for a reason. And those reasons are explained. And that’s one of my favorite things about about this season, that they’re explained. The reasons are shown why we’re doing what we’re doing.
