Trying to figure out what's happening in the series being without any clue whatsoever.

"Pilot" doesn't originate from aeronautics but is actually taken from historical seafaring, just as "cockpit" or the unit of velocity called "knots".

[@alexlantz]

Cockpit - it's the term used for kitchen on a starship, so... Unless you go out of the Solar System at least once, like Neil Breen did - just quit trying to pretend being smart!

@@alexlantz Ouch, this one hit hard! Almost sent me following Neil out of the solar system as well. 👌😅

@@alexlantz PS: There's something I need to add.. I get why in light of the YT comment debate culture a comment like mine might appear like a know-it-all trying to boost their fragile ego, but that's not where I'm coming from - I'm not the guy to point out missing apostrophs or whatever. Instead I'm ND with a brain constantly craving information and going down to the bottom of things I sometimes can't help myself to point out context I myself would have found interesting to learn about - in this case not to correct you because I wouldn't follow your channel if I thought you wouldn't know what you were doing but for the audience who perhaps missed the joke, not because they would be dense either but simply because we are so used to how these expressions get applied today that it obscured their origins. But maybe it's just my brain having a pathological need for clarity or something - the point is that my original comment wasn't meant to antagonize you, though I get that it might have felt like it. Sorry if this should have been the case - it wouldn't be the first time unfortunatly.

[@alexlantz]

I know what you mean and totally get it. Seems it's just how brain works - I realize maybe 70-80% of viewers won't understand this kind of humour or will find it dumb. But the joke about pilot was intentional and I really sent this comment to IMDB, because for some reason I find it funny:(

[@jkeylor]

This should have more views! Good stuff

[@alexlantz]

Thanks:)

Is this supposed to be an adaptation of the novel _"Shogun"?!_ It had been an eternity but somehow it seems familiar. One could take the same title as a hint, but in light of the fact that "Shogun" is one of the three words the wstern audience associates with pre-Meiji Japan this alone doesn't mean anything on its own. 👹

[@alexlantz]

Yeah, it's based on a novel

@@alexlantz Thanks, I wasn't sure whether my mind was tricking me.. 😅
