*** The pair have spades of this in "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place" where they pose as a married couple as part of an assignment. However, all the talk of romance and erotic activities are way too far outside either of their comfort zones and they end the mission agreeing that the experience was too awkward and they feel more comfortable as JustFriends. They then go back to work blissfully unaware of the chemistry that comes naturally when they aren't under pressure and being forced into acting romantic.



* ShipTease: He gets some mild teasing with Tendi throughout the first season, but it's especially heavy in "Terminal Provocations" when he admits to Badgey that he thinks Tendi's cute and wanted to impress her. He doesn't explicitly state that he has a crush on her, but it certainly sounds like it when he says he wants to impress her with something he made in a simulation because she's cute, not that Rutherford would even need to do that, as Tendi already likes him for his good-hearted nature.

If this were a crush, it's also unclear if it redeveloped following Rutherford's Season 1 finale mind wipe.

* NonconformistDyedHair: {{Inverted}} -- he dyes his hair purple (one of his log entries mentions that it's not his natural hair color), and he's the biggest stickler for the rules until his CharacterDevelopment.

* MistakenForRomance: In "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", when Tendi asks Mariner if she and Boimler are a couple, since they're always seen together, she's grossed out by it and insists they're just friends and she sees him as a pet. When we finally see Boimler's perspective in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers", when Malvus calls him Mariner's boyfriend, he, along with Mariner, is also grossed out by it.

** In Season 4, Boimler is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant j.g. and saves a museum'd ''U.S.S. Voyager'' from being assimilated by both the Borg and the macroviruses (ItMakesSenseInContext). Later he's given command of an away mission, which (with T'Lyn's encouragement) he completes successfully, despite temporarily dying at the end. Then in the season finale, Boimler is given temporary command of the ''Cerritos'' (choosing T'Lyn as his first officer), and stands up to Admiral Vassery while helping to avert a major crisis.

* SophisticatedAsHell: As is typical for a Vulcan, T'lyn's speech pattern is typically [[SpockSpeak very formal, dispassionate and technical]], but serving with the crew of the Cerritos has rubbed off more crass language into her vocabulary. A particular example being after an emotional peptalk from Mariner about her perceived failings to live up to an arbitrary standard of [[BuffySpeak Vulcan-ness]].

Added DiffLines:

* KlingonScientistsGetNoRespect: She has a tendency to work on hunches and can be impulsive, along with [[DullSurprise emotional outbursts]] that are nigh-imperceptible to non-Vulcans. This gets her transferred to Starfleet as this makes her a non-conformist on a Vulcan science vessel, and she keeps a small chip on her shoulder over this development.


Added DiffLines:

* SixthRanger: The show started with the original four ensigns, with the majority of stories pairing Mariner and Boimler or Tendi and Rutherford. With her introduction and integration into the group the fourth season had to divide the characters up a little more often so that she could interact with them individually. She isn't as dominant in every episode like the other four, but being Vulcan [[TheAce she is a little more on top of things than the others]].

* OnlySaneByComparison: Exaggerated since she's the only Vulcan on the ''Cerritos'' so she's the most sane and logical by default. By Vulcan standards, she's a hellraiser that had to be assigned to the ''Cerritos'' due to her impulsiveness. She's also unusually mellow for a Vulcan (both within the context of the show and in comparison to other Vulcan regulars throughout the franchise), most of whom (from Spock on down) tend to be much more uptight.

* TheAce: As of Season 2, he is slowly becoming this over the course of the series thanks to his time serving as a lieutenant on the U.S.S. ''Titan''. He has become so skilled in fact that in "I, Excretus", not only was he the only member of the crew to pass any of the training simulations, but he was eventually able to increase his score to a perfect 100% and only ended up failing because Captain Freeman ordered him to not finish the program in order to stall for time. This becomes even more impressive when it's revealed that [[UnwinnableTrainingSimulation the training simulations were rigged to make sure everyone failed]] and Boimler was able to not only pass but get a perfect score despite that.

* OutOfFocus: After three seasons focusing heavily on his CharacterDevelopment, Boimler takes a bit of a back seat in season 4, with only one real focus episode ("The Cradle of Vexilon", which is about his first command mission). Otherwise, although he gets plenty of screentime, most of it has him in comedic side plots or supporting another character's storyline.
