So is Capt Shaw the new, reigning biggest a##hole in Trek?

Well, he called himself an asshole today, so I guess that settles that. The man certainly has issues. I think he needs to have some sessions with a counselor.

 

If this was Discovery, Shaw would have died on the bridge instead of just being injured. I'm glad that this season of Picard has writers who aren't so trigger-happy to kill characters for being mean.

 

Hopefully they won't kill him off but they most likely will. He might retire but he seems too young. They want to make room for 7. This whole season is a torch passing and obviously a door for a new series especially since STD is canceled.

 

Shaw could stay on Titan and Seven gets the next Enterprise.

They have suggested this is setting up the next, next generation.

 

Spoiler

That was his cast/brace from getting injured on the bridge. He doesn’t have a prosthetic leg

 

So I've come to realize who Captain Shaw is based on.....

I mean..... his last name is Shaw and he even has his own Indianapolis speech.

 

Last episode I was starting to like him more. This episode, he's redeemed his asshole-ish-ness. But, then again, a lot of grease-monkeys I've seen can be assholes. They're not all people persons. But, then, that makes him an odd choice for command. To quote on Lee Adama over on Battlestar Galactica, "Command is about people."

 

I imagine several officers were ranked up due to the all the ship loses in the past decade.

 

Oh was it? couldn't really tell from the lighting.

 

Spoiler

It's the same leg that was bleeding in the attack and you could see bone

 

yeah, the war had to have cleaned out the Officer ranks quite a bit. I mean, on DS9 Nog goes from cadet in the field at the start of S6 to a full Lt. by the series finale.

 

The Dominion War plays a role this season.

I'd have it the other way around (Send Shaw to Enterprise and give Seven the Titan).

 

I don't know why but I really like this guy Shaw. He is a good man. He really is. I hope he will be live at the end of this season.

Mr. Shaw we love you and we would like to share Chicago style deep dish pizza with you ♥️

 

Shaw comes across as very.... familiar



And I love it.

A Captain with personality is why Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Pike work so well.

 

Thankfully not like House.

 

We had one named Rios the past 2 seasons. They decided to weeping angel him despite his popularity with the fans and even calls for a Stargazer show.

 

Good.

Fans don't decide everything. It's nice to have that happen for a change.

 

The Season 2 was written before it aired, there would have been no way for them to back out of that. Season 3 was also written before Season 2 aired.

 

I'm hoping to see further adventures of Captain Shaw and Commander Seven on board the Titan.

 

Shaw belongs on a Second Contact vessel (a place where "weird s$#t" is kept to a minimum).
