In fairness, that ain’t hard to do. I deleted my account a long time ago. That place is a cesspool. She can have it.

Actually one who "drives" a boat or ship is a pilot, it's where the word originated.
Definition of PILOT
one employed to steer a ship : helmsman; a person who is qualified and usually licensed to conduct a ship into and out of a port or in specified waters; a person who flies or is qualified to fly an aircraft or spacecraft… See the full definition

71 pages, and a heck of a lot of complaining. If you don't like it..have you thought of just not watching? surely there has to be something better to do than moaning online about how the new show isnt as good as the one from your childhood?
Personally...loved SNW, loved Discovery...Lower Decks?...damn funny and amazing. Loving the way Trek is going!

While that may be true, the confusion that would cause aboard an aircraft carrier would be immense. Also, I believe "pilot" is in reference to submarine helmsmen and smaller craft.Actually one who "drives" a boat or ship is a pilot, it's where the word originated.

You know, that also applies to artwork people don't like, models people don't like, posts people don't like, music people don't like, food people don't like, etc. It really does have broader applications throughout life, so thanks for pointing that out!
That she can. I have no use for twitter either.
To another note concerning the season finale of SNH:
I wonder if Rebecca Romjin is leaving the show? Either that, or this is why Number One isn't round during Kirk's time?

People who can’t defend their preferences from criticism always resort to attacking the critics. It’s a deflection, it’s transparent, and it’s tiresome. Just like that tweet from the Ortegas chick above—vague, insubstantial “cool things” about Ortegas, then an attack on the critics. And the “toxic fandom” garbage from Amazon and Disney. Happens in politics all the time.You know, that also applies to artwork people don't like, models people don't like, posts people don't like, music people don't like, food people don't like, etc. It really does have broader applications throughout life, so thanks for pointing that out!
Public education has failed at least two consecutive generations now, by teaching them what to think, instead of how to think. So they can’t spot BS when it’s handed to them, they’re easily defrauded because they’re economically illiterate, they elect incompetent morons because they have no education in civics, and they watch—end enjoy—garbage like Strange New Hair because they have no idea what a good story is. It’s all just eye candy and ’member berries, and they just eat it up.
Nah, regardless of what happens to her, I really think they were stuck for a cliffhanger, so they cribbed it from Lower Dorks. That’s what lazy, no-talent hacks do. They throw out canon so they don’t have to overcome the creative challenges of working within it, and they just steal stuff—not to serve up a new interpretation or a fresh take, but because they’re incapable of creating anything new. Then they attack you for pointing out that they’ve broken canon for no good reason in ways that make no sense. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.
Well, last time I checked, we are ALL “customers” of the product they are serving up.
I believe that entitles is all to having an opinion on the product.
And if they don’t hear the feedback they are never going to improve…most companies are hungry for customer feedback vs just “waking away”.
Also I find that the opinions expressed—especially my own, of course—are very balanced as to what the positives and negatives are.
Of course, I also follow the social media rule that everyone’s opinion is wrong—except my own, of course.

And paying customers, at that. What an absurd idea that we’re just supposed to take any crap they sell us and like it.
Thanks for proving so many points.
Funny how the actual gatekeepers are the ones accusing everyone else of gatekeeping.
"If you don't like it, don't watch it!"
How about, "No, these hacks and weirdos need to get their hands off of these franchises which actually mean something to people."
Ignored.
And we see that in SNH- what to think instead of how to think fails when it comes to decision making: what happens when what you're thinking does not fit the situation, and the situation cannot be molded to suit what you're thinking?
A good commander learns how to think and come to decisions based on accurate perception of reality, assessment of the situation based on logic, reason and the perception of reality, self-discipline and knowledge of the capabilities of yourself, ship and crew.
"What to think" is simply cult-thinking; i.e. The Borg.

The people whose job it is to steer and navigate ships throught the Mississippi river (incuding the massive container ships) are called pilots.

And this post complaining about us is different than ours complaining about the show….how?

Lol hopefully it doesn't go on for 70+ pages....
Okay, fair point.
It contains 65% recycled post-consumer products?

That’s still 25% LESS than the recycled Star Trek content from SNH.Okay, fair point.

Best find somewhere else to talk about it if you do like the show. The incessant complaining isn't going to stop, and pointing out how paper thin it is just means they block you so they can live in their echo chamber.

And THIS repeated post makes up 40 of those 71 pages.

In current maritime usage, pilot is a specific term of art for highly specialized port personnel who come aboard a ship for the specific purpose of taking the helm and steering the ship into port safely. Here’s a précis from the ports in Maryland. Outside of the specific context of navigating a vessel into port, the person who mans a ship’s helm is a helmsman. And on Star Trek, Sulu was always referred to as “helmsman” or just “helm.”
Melissa Navia is a lazy, uninformed boob who obviously hasn’t taken five minutes to Google the most basic aspects of the role she’s paid to play.
