Can totally understand Pike here. When I'm doing 250km/h in my car, I'm perfectly fine, calm and in control. Put me in the passenger seat at half that speed and I become a nervous wreck.
Pike feeling iffy to me makes 100% sense here. When I drive, I’m comfortable doing 120+ km because I have control. I feel the acceleration, I feel the brakes. I know my car, I know how aware I am of any upcoming obstacles and I am confident in my way around it. When I am in the passenger seat, I have none of this, except for my trust in the other person driving the vehicle……and sometimes, when it feels like they are more focused on talking or on other things, I’d have a similar reaction to Pikes (at high speed especially, because I have no idea if they have the same spatial awareness as me to reaction to anything)
I wish I could go back to not being able to drive. I always was comfortable and relaxed, but now that I know how much you have to look out for, I cannot switch my brain off - specially on the highway XD
Ortegas is the best new character in SNW. I swear if she doesn't make it through the remainder of the GORN incursion at the start of S03 I'm going to be livid!
I have immense respect for Melissa Navia & her performance as Erica Ortegas given the tragedy in her personal life that almost had her quit acting before production on season two. You would never know the pain & loss she experienced from the attitude she displays onscreen.
Just because he saw the future doesn't mean he knows everything that will happen. What he saw was a glimpse of his future, his death, in 10 years, not what happened during that time. He only knows that event in specific and that's it.
@poiujnbvcxdswq Have you seen your future with certainty of it coming true? Have you beamed on and off a ship? Have you had a dog fight in deep space? Yet. You assume to have the same reactions as a fictional space captain....
Good thing clueless Pike always has these experts around him to tell him what to do......Like when he cowered in his seat while Ortega flew the shuttle, grinning like a mental inmate.... Even though he was a former test pilot, she always explains to him how something should be done.......But he sure can cook......
It really is hilarious seeing the absolute desperation of haters clawing at anything, no matter how illogical to claim as a fault. Test pilot, clue's in the name, pilot, in control of the vehicle, there's a reason why drivers don't get travel sickness while the passengers do. And the whole point of a Captain or even anyone in charge is delegating tasks and listening to your experts, if you'd ever left your basement you'd have seen that first-hand.
@@STEPHENDANERD Ironic you use the word hater……A good Captain should already know what his subordinates know. How else can he command? As a former Captain with the LAFD I would be embarrassed to have to constantly ask my firefighters how to do something…….They can have some advice and I take it in….. In my basement
@@caseyporter1235 the greatest leader here ladies and gentlemen, hope you didn't k*ll any of your subordinates just because they ended up with an a-hole as you as their captain.
@@caseyporter1235 If a captain knew everything his subordinates knew, he wouldn't need his subordinates. His subordinates exist to extend the potential labour at his disposal and to specialise in areas he himself cannot. Pike is the captain of the Federation flagship, which means he's a military commander and a diplomat. In short, his role is to take all the disparate fields under his command and give them a clear forward direction toward their goal. Not to be a one-man flight crew.
@@STEPHENDANERD Or, it's just bad writing, weak casting, wooden acting, poor creative direction, characters that lack chemistry, episodes that are a self-contained gimmick (looking at you, Crossover). Now, the show has some fun moments, but on the whole it comes off as an oddball that's trying too hard to be something it can never be.
