Is the Farraguts Thelin the same character as was shown on the original TAS episode Yesteryear?
Yes, it is (And is being voiced by Chris Doohan…Chris’ father originally voiced Thelin). Yesteryear took place in an alternate timeline where Thelin was the first officer of the Enterprise since, in the story, Spock was killed as a child. With the timeline restored, we are left with the question of what happened to Thelin. Our theory is that Thelin’s timeline was very similar to the alternate timeline, but a single incident in the past put him in a position to make a choice of where his life would end up. In the alternate timeline, without Spock in the picture, he ended up on the Enterprise as the first officer. In the ‘normal’ timeline, he ended up as the navigator on the Farragut. Funny how one thing in the past can affect so much of the future.
