She’s a human being, starfleet has very few of those.
Comment on Strange New Worlds 2x08 was one of the best Star Trek episodes ever

I don’t understand, what’s hard to like about ortegas? She’s exactly what I’d expect a hotshot pilot to be like.

Season 1 Ortegas was hard for me to like. She was far too cocky for a Starfleet officer, talking back and too informally to superior officers. She felt like she didn't belong in Star Trek, or at least in that kind of Starfleet command structure.
Season 2 Ortegas has backed off from that a bit and is now far more enjoyable. She's got spunk, but she doesn't come off as insubordinate or rude.

100% agree. She’s got a confidence that is often annoying, but I think that’s the point. She thinks she’s hot shit (and maybe she is – she’s at least a competent pilot).
I see her as a kind of version of (early) Tom Paris.

She’s a more seasoned pilot by far than early Tom Paris.
But she’s exactly what I expect and know experienced combat pilots to be like. Some are sober and subdued like Sulu or Detmer, but the in your face types are common and tolerated.

She’s the Maverick of the Enterprise. Makes sense to me.
