I don’t think that it’s very believable that Shatner was playing 38 in TMP, but I accept it because of a willing suspension of disbelief. I’d have a much easier time believing Tawny Newsome is in her mid to late 20s.
Also I never said Mariner was or should be 22, just that Chekhov was meant to be when Koenig was in his 30s, and that Mariner could be portrayed by Tawny Newsome in live action believably as younger than her actual age.
