There's this cliche that hotshot pilots have to be jerks for some reason. Poe Dameron was a refreshing change to that in Star Wars Episode 7. Someone must have noticed, because they quickly then turned him into a jerk too in episodes 8 and 9.
 
Spock and Her are the same rank, he may have seniority, and be the 3rd officer ( Una, La'an before him) but honestly, even if he was a rank ahead, I would have no problem with her comment to Spock, because she was upset at not being on the landing party, and Spock was being a bit insensitive, she didn't say it out of malice or insubordinate tone, it was just a "stop talking, leave me alone" comment.

But they do need to find her a voice, 1 and almost a half seasons and she's still the least developed character. We know a few things, but not much at all, a bit snarky, likes to play jokes, great pilot. All a great start.

As for her looks, i'm not one to judge others based on there looks, mines pretty shabby, and the style of an ardvark.. i have no legs to stand on..
 
I'm Star Wars and Star Trek. My wife is all in on Lord of the Rings.

It happens ;)
I came late to LOTR (didn’t read the books till after I’d seen all three movies, as they came out) but my kids grew up on it. There’s a special magic to the good stuff you first got into as a kid. My husband saw the Star Wars movies in the theater, but I came along a little too late for that. I remember being excited for TNG every week, though. And I watched TOS in syndication, which may be why I can never get the episode order quite straight in my head. :lol:
 
Kirk: So Spock, my friend Gary Mitchell is a great pilot and I'd like him to be the helmsman. You've been here longer than I have, do you think I should stick with Ortegas or go with Mitchell?

Spock: You should help out your friend.

Kirk: Spock, that is a surprisingly... human comment coming from you.

Spock: Yes. Fascinating.

Ortegas: :mad:

Spock: :whistle:

Perhaps the one thing everyone can agree on is that her character needs more development/attention from the writers.

I came to LOTR later, and my wife later than that but she dove all in and writes a multi-part fan fiction based on the Hobbit. It's quite long.

I watched TOS on VHS so I didn't quite get the order either but used the Concordance to help out.
 
Reminiscent of Boma in TOS I think in lack of respect to Spock. Also, A Quality of Mercy did imply a darker future where she goes full on speciest. It's interesting to see if that was a one time thing or something the writers will follow up on
As established, they are equals. And nothing like Boma.

Now that is passion and dedication.

I can agree with that. I was looking forward to an Ortegas spotlight in Lotus Eaters, but the most we learned is that she flies the ship. Which we knew.

@All For whatever it’s worth as well, let me put my hand up and say (as a straight male) that I find the haircut attractive. Very much so.

@valkyrie013 What is ‘aardvark style’?

Yes, if that was supposed to be the “Ortegas episode” she got seriously short-changed.
 
Pike said he'd catch her next time, and we know there is going to be an episode where she flies the shuttle, with the free-fall engine start. That's probably her episode.

Okay, I don’t know anything about future episodes. I try not to let my curiosity get the better of my desire to be surprised.

Sidebar: As an 80’s kid, I feel like flying by touchscreen can’t possibly be as satisfying as a control stick and rudder pedals. I recently wanted to hang up on a telemarketer with a resounding clang of earpiece onto receiver and I had to settle for a vicious but silent poke of the touchscreen button.
I felt unfulfilled.
