      I can honestly see them pulling the trigger on it at the end of this season. This season’s pretty emphatically pushing the gang past their former status quo-- Mariner has supportive superiors, now what? Boimler is in charge sometimes, now what? Figuring this romance situation out would just be running with the theme of growth and change.

      I’m happy either way they end up, although I think Rutherford’s comment about green eyes is telegraphing there’s something there, even if he and Tendi are oblivious to it.

      Yeah I’m in the same boat. Watching them blush and be awkward was super cute and now I just want them to figure it out. She’s a catch Rutherford, go for it!

      I’ve been shipping them since Rutherford told Badgey, “I was just trying to impress Tendi. I mean, look at her, she’s so cute!” Earlier that same ep they’re in the holodeck in the EV suits and they accidentally embrace (due to mag boots) which mirrors the B’Elanna and Tom scene where B’Elanna told Tom she loved him.

      But if you really think about it, they’ve been hinting at the crush since the beginning. He was willing to change his career to make the time to watch a pulsar with her (which was episode 2). When Tendi thought T’ana was transferring her off the ship, they tell each other how much they love the ship and hug. Later that ep he tells Billups he’s been triple backing up memories with her because he doesn’t want to forget her again. (Notably he doesn’t mention backing up memories with Mariner or Boimler.) They’ve always just a little closer than best friends, and damned if it isn’t adorable!

      I like the idea that we find out mid next season that they’ve been in a committed relationship with each other for like a year but are keeping it on the DL because monogamy is deeply uncool in their generation.
