I’m a little sad. When I saw a time dilation plot, I was honestly expecting an unexpected romance to begin between Mariner and one of the other two (probably T’Lyn) - not like it fully develops, but like something weird to show up in the possible future we better get in the finale.
I was thinking something kind of similar - if they had left Mariner out of it entirely, we could have had a Tendi/T’lyn “Janeway and Chakotay build a bathtub” plot.
That would seem to be a pretty big leap out of character for Mariner. She only acts like she doesn’t have boundaries, but she actually sets pretty rigid limits on where she’s willing to go with people she considers close friends.
