Do you think the series would have been as good if we had started with Gabriella Ruiz as a main character? I don't know if she would have been T'lyn though or Mariner...

For me, there are good things in the first season but it is a bit rough. They needed to find their stride in the following season. Maybe if Vulcan T'lyn was there she could have pulled a 7 of 9 and outshine the others.

It's just a thought, imagine T'Lyn was suck in the time portal to the TOS era with Boimler and what would happen when they are there?

This scene made me laugh.

Ordered a moopsy magnet and the koala came as a surprise bonus! The koala fur is like a rainbow shiny plastic but it’s hard to get it on camera

So a couple of weeks ago we got an interview with Gabriella Ruiz, T'lyn's voice actress and we got some interesting reveals that can confirm or deny some theories we had of T'lyn.

1. Was T'lyn getting kicked off the Shava'al an unfair severe punishment for T'lyn?

   A. In Vulcan standards: No. It was the proper cancelation of a Vulcan who was essentially a Nick Lucarno of Vulcan society. T'lyn was punished because of how she refused to aclimate to Vulcan society not because she was not capable scientist.

2. Was T'lyn getting punished or helped by her Captain, Sokel?

   A.In Vulcan standards: she was punished by basically being canceled from Vulcan High Command and the Science Council (basically from Vulcan Society). But Sokel didn't punish her worse than any other vulcan would: T'lyn was unstable according to Vulcan Standards and sooner or later she was going to get the boot if not by him then someone else. What he did do for her is: move her to a place where she could use her talents without her having to worry about Vulcan beaurocracy.

Personal Note: I disagree with these kind of standards:" that joining Starfleet is seen as a punishment" when humans and the Federation have done so much already for the Galaxy. Maybe if it happened during the time of Archer's Enterprise, that could be seen as a punishment because you are basically taken from Modern world and thrown in the Era of Steamtanks and blimps. Not so during the late 24th century after so many intergalactic wars and conflicts ended with the Federation and starfleet still standing.

3. How is T'lyn's standing on the Cerritos compared to the Vulcan ship or Vulcan society?

   A. T'lyn sees herself as an exiled Vulcan trying to win back favor with the Vulcans to get her back, even trying to act more like a disciplined Vulcan, which explains why her attitude on the Cerritos is different from the one of the Shava'al. Let's just say that she is never using the word "instincts" ever again while on duty. However, with the Cerritos, she does feel like the smartest person în the jungle working with a bunch of monkeys playing with sticks and stones. (Gabriella Ruiz said it much nicer).

4. Where does T'lyn see herself in the future?

   A. It seems like the more time passes, the more she feels like her punishment is a blessing in disguise. Because she seems to have grown out of her need of approval from Vulcans and found a place where she can develop as a scientist and explorer. So when she received a message at the end of the season from a captain Sokel, the message wasn't about the letter she sent earlier in the season because apparently she didn't send it.

5. Are we going to get more backstory from T'lyn and maybe her family?

   A. We will likely get it, but she couldn't say anything about that. So there is clearly some kind of importance to it.

6. Was T'lyn planned to be the darkhorse of the series?

   A. No. It was a surprise that she got a very good reception of social media, especially Twitter and Reddit. So if you want to get more of a special character that you liked: Agimus, Ma'ah orLevi (3 of my favorite episodic characters) or three of my favorite one episode wonders:  Kearns, Brinson, or Barnes or Castro. Then you have talk about it.

I could go into more but that is just about the gist of it. Any opinions?

Nothing can convince me that a Cult of the koala does not exist. Members include Shaxs (died), Tendi ( saw that assintion), Boimler, Mariner (she's probably), and Kirk ( he was in that time ribbon for a while)

It's the episode where most of the characters become splashed together with other characters.

The NX 02 Columbia sister ship to the OG Enterprise, disappeared with all hands during the Earth Romulan war. It was later rediscovered by Siskos crew before the Dominion War in the Gamma quadrant, in the books.. It was not recovered at the time due to war. I think an episode where the Cerritos is one of the ships sent to recover this pice of history.

It was recovered in the books but that's beta cannon that's the shows and movies override.

The next weekend event for the mobile game has begun, with the story this time being a take on the classic Yesteryear from TAS, starting T’Lyn and holo-Zefram Cochrane.

Who do you like more as a character in the show? This could be just their personalities, the storyline that they can make, relationships to other characters. Anything goes. While I'm interested to see who prefers whom I really want to know what makes each character appealing to each fan.

Hi, just curious to hear what peoples long term predictions are for Lower Decks. Any end game predictions for where character or certain plots end up?

Anyone seen this article of a possible new crossover episode?

Okay. So hear me out. Tendi lived it up in a life luxury. She probably never learned to cook. Mariner learn can cook in like the field of fire or something she just killed, but put it on a kitchen and she's setting cereal on fire. Somehow Rutherford, no, he doesn't seem like a type of guy. That would be good in the kitchen. Like he could do it. It just wouldn't have that je ne sais quoi. Tylin can cook Vulcan food, but it's like the most basic food.

Boimler on the other end. He grew up on a vineyard, even if it was just making raisins. Let me tell you people on vineyards know how to cook. And he would throw him self into it because Pike could cook. It would be very relaxing for him and he would cook in a very free and ez style.

I can't wait for season 5 of Star Trek Lower Decks, but I have theses ideas of episodes that hopefully it might come true. But just a guess,

She does command an unexpected gravitas for someone so excitable.
