Star Trek: Lower Decks’ T’Lyn has very little in common with Seven of Nine
As a die-hard Star Trek fan who has logged countless hours in the holodeck, I must say that I find such comparisons between characters like Seven of Nine and T’Lyn to be as misguided as a Klingon attempting to solve a Rubik’s Cube.
Star Trek consistently employs recurring themes and characters, such as the leader figure (either captain or lower decks commander), the logical and emotionless character akin to Spock, the scientist, the pilot, and the comic relief character, among others.
Just because a character fills a whole in the playbook that is Star Trek, doesn’t mean they are alike. Which is what we’re touching on today. Screenrant published an article where they compare Seven of Nine to T’Lyn. A rather out-there comparison, but it was made worse by saying that T’Llyn is the “new” Seven of Nine.
It strikes me as odd to make such a statement. After all, Seven of Nine has consistently been Seven of Nine since the beginning, and I’ve always perceived T’Lyn as T’Lyn.
both lack emotion and were introduced on their respective shows in season four. However, this isn’t strong evidence for the claim that “T’Lyn is the new Seven of Nine”. In fact, it’s not accurate as T’Lyn was actually introduced in season two and doesn’t hold a starring role.
In the fourth season, Seven of Nine took over from Kes as a new addition to the crew. Their roles were vastly different, and neither can be said to be more important than the other. T’Lyn is a beloved supporting character who is currently enjoying more screen time. Seven of Nine significantly increased interest in Voyager among fans.
In a different wording, it can be expressed as: The two characters are not similar in this aspect. Notably, the author suggests that both characters are “discovering their identities,” but Seven of Nine did not need to discover herself. She was well aware of her identity, and she was content with it. Instead, what Seven of Nine required was healing from the traumatic experiences she had gone through. Her storyline primarily focused on recovery in various aspects: physically, emotionally, and mentally.
T’Lyn seems pretty well adjusted for a Vulcan. So again, not comparable.
T’Lyn’s humor leans towards sarcasm, which can sometimes appear as rudeness, at least compared to Vulcan standards. On the other hand, Seven of Nine rarely engages in humor and when she does, it seems more like an attempt to understand a joke rather than an intentional display of wit.
She’s far more similar to Worf in that regard.
T’Lyn and Seven of Nine are fascinating characters, but despite sharing the traits of being women and not expressing emotions openly, they’re as distinct as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and a potato.
