A lot of people don't like Shaw's professionalism and overall demeanor, but at least he wasn't lying to a fellow officer to get a free ride to the edge of Federation space and using an "inspection" as the Trojan horse.
I don't like Shaw and he is also right. After the nonsense of Season 1 and both Picard and Riker being back in Starfleet at a rank asking for resources shouldn't be that hard.A lot of people don't like Shaw's professionalism and overall demeanor, but at least he wasn't lying to a fellow officer to get a free ride to the edge of Federation space and using an "inspection" as the Trojan horse.
I mean...it was more interesting with the politics too. Quarantine planet, and orders to not go. Not just, "eh, fuck it" attitude of Picard and Riker.Kirk needed the Enterprise to go rescue Spock so he just hijacked his ship and took it. A lot simpler and way more interesting a plot development than "96-year-old former Admiral and his also old former Number One lying to the saltiest Captain in Starfleet for a free ride."
