#mariner lower decks

[bruhmityblight]

Interested in ppls thoughts but like while I feel like t'lyn and Tendi is a cute ship in theory in terms of vibes, I feel like T'lyn and Mariner has a lot more like story based dramatic reasons for being possible.

For one, Mariner has not had a really long term core relationship that has really like been explored. The relationship with the blue girl was mainly jokes and was hinted at failing the whole time. Introducing a new charecter and having them be endgame could work, since they haven't done anything to set up Mariner having a relationship with any of the core four yet.

Secondly, Mariner clearly echoes Kirk a lot in terms of personality and like the sort of general public impression of Kirk. T'lyn channels what ppl loved about Spock in a way that neither actual Spock recast has been able too. With the Kirk +Spock thing in the bar and just with how well versed the writers are in the lore there's no way they aren't aware of how huge spirk was/is and how important it was in terms of fandom history and queer history. Having an endgame ship that echoes spirk but sapphic would make a lot of sense

As others have noted, both T'lyn and Mariner were wrongfully ousted from their ships, both are outcasts, both deeply care about their friends. I don't think it's an accident that Mariner is the one that T'lyn had her huge emotional moment with rather than Tendi.

Regardless of what happens shipwise I'm obsessed with the new dynamics with T'lyn added, with the new trio of Mariner T'lyn and Tendi as well as Rutherford and Boimler getting more episodes with each other. T'lyn has quickly become my favorite charecter (and I kin her but that's unrelated lol) So excited for the rest of the show!!
