Who better to be a foil for a Vulcan trying to button down and gain the respect of Vulcan Exploratory leadership than a bunch of Betazoids who know what T’Lyn’s feeling and have no patience with her attempts to cover up with logic?
TNG had very few Vulcan interactions, mainly with Spock and Sarek. So, no Vulcan and Betazoid ones.
In DS9, I don’t believe Vulcan guest characters interacted with Betazoids.
I don’t recall Vorik and Sutter interacting on Voyager in any significant way.
So, we’re left with Tuvik’s attempts to help Sutter control his psychopathy. Really not the kind of ordinary Vulcan vs Betazoid interaction we might get in Lower Decks.
Ah, good recall, forgot all about Tuvok and Suder! Yeah, his abnormal mental state made the interaction between them considerably different than what I was envisioning.
