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.
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."
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.
I'm on record having enjoyed Season 3 for the TNG elements and Fleet Museum and Changelings, but damn, was it dumb television. 
‘CIA’: Necar Zadegan Joins CBS’ ‘FBI’ Offshoot As Series Regular In Recasting
Necar Zadegan has been cast as a series regular in 'CIA'. She will play the Chief of Station, replacing Michael Michele who had departed the series.

She played Jay in S1's "Stardust City Rag".
She was also on NCIS New Orleans with Scott Bakula.
I don't think a 2 min scene of Shaw praising Seven redeems him.
He should have been in Therapy. Even Vadic mentions his psychological history.
Rewrites never fixed this.
Very interesting and informative interview with Terry Matalas. Don't worry, Mary isn't anything like her uncle.
Going by some of his comments, I can't help but wonder if Matalas lurks here.

Anything specific? I'm probably not gonna sit through all 75 minutes of the interview.Going by some of his comments, I can't help but wonder if Matalas lurks here.
I've listened to a few of those, including this one and the Jeri Ryan episode. Mary is extremely knowledgeable about Star Trek and very engaging.Very interesting and informative interview with Terry Matalas. Don't worry, Mary isn't anything like her uncle.

DAMMIT, JAYSON.Going by some of his comments, I can't help but wonder if Matalas lurks here.
He lurks everywhere. He sees all.Going by some of his comments, I can't help but wonder if Matalas lurks here.
He knows when you've been bad or good...
He sees you when you're sleeping.
He knows when you're awake.
He knows if you like Captain Shaw.
It's something you can't fake.
On a subsequent rewatch I now don't mind Captain Shaw
Picard's entire timeline is wonky due to season 2 being set in 2401 by a wine bottle and season 3 ALSO being set in 2401 per the 150th anniversary of Frontier Day (mid April 2401)--that's already been discussed how Seven was only with Shaw for 3 months, and so on.
But less discussed is how in Season 2 Zhaban was said to be roughly dead for a year and a half. Considering that S1 finale HAS to take place sometime after July 13 2399 (Picard is explicitly said to be 94), doing the math means that Zhaban had to have died practically right after Season 1 ended.
Yet it seemingly never strikes anyone as suspicious. The most likely answer is that Commodore Oh sent some goon to kill Zhaban immediately after Season 1 (she was last seen fleeing from Riker after all), but it's never commented on or detailed on and Zhaban's death and its timing is never given the attention it should have (considering he did not remotely look frail or elderly in S1). It was just a hamfisted way to get Laris together with Picard (which ironically was undone with the return of Crusher in S3)
