Oh, 'Community' - Troy and Abed is the way to have a geeky boy friendship. Though the best one I've seen was Chuck and Morgan. THAT'S how to portray geeky bro's, and allow character growth.
Wil Wheaton allowed to display his inner asshat as a nemesis would be funny. But you'd have to balance out the wins to either side. So many possibilities for Trek jokes in mock combat scenarios.
As for sudden!relationship late introduced characters, they would never be allowed to insinuate into this reality, especially when they are just a rehash of the failed character dropped from the unaired pilot, shoehorned in. You don't bang on about 'organic storytelling' and 'only mistress being science' and then pull a whammy like that on your audience, without someone calling shenanigans. Organically introduced characters, met through work or the comic store, make sense. Asspulls don't.
Oh, please, yes, a return to actual acknowledgment of intelligence, and genuine geek humour, as opposed to the ersatz mundane view of geeks we're getting. How about some genuine geek girls? (Wearing glasses doesn't count) Martha worked - but I suppose the concept of normal people having odd hobbies is a bit too brain-breaking for the show, which can't seem to get past 'geek= basement dweller'.
