The Star Trek page on twitter asked recently about our favourite scenes from Picard season 3. It‘s truly hard to decide, but the one that hit closest to home for me, on a personal level, was Shaw‘s brilliant Wolf 359 monologue. And because I can‘t help myself, I had to paint it too.
I wanted it to be bright and colourful further in the background, but with darkness directly behind his back. Symbolizing that all it would take for him was to turn around to face his demons, and to see that he is running from a darkness that‘s not all he truly is.
Also Todd acted his socks off in this scene. It was just perfect.

Captain Shaw sees an angry woman and says: Go ahead, blow something up, as a treat.

I was inspired by a post pointing out Shaw's expression when Geordi is talking to Shaw and just had to draw it. And rewatching the scene got me to draw the second image~

Star Trek Captains, A Review and Categorization III - The Search for Captains
So there was little enough response to the last poll (a single vote) that I didn't think anyone was interested in more...but this is one of those posts that keeps on giving, so I'm going to at least finish this up with the two that I've gotten the most anecdotal (non-poll) feedback to do.
If you missed it, the first post in this series.
And since nearly EVERYONE missed it, the second.
Captain Seven
Star Trek said Trans Rights! So very done with your shit! Hasn't yet met her younger brother Dal, but probably will approve of every single choice he's ever made. She doesn't know everything, but she knows more than you. Only marginally less of a badass with a phaser than Admiral Crusher. Can make a Sapphic's panties spontaneously combust from a lightyear away. Can make a starship spontaneously combust from a lightyear away, it just takes more effort on her part. Borg Queen? Nah... my Queen!
Scorecard
Found Families: 3
Timelines she's personally been involved in rewriting: At least 3
Hearts broken: 3 (No, Raff, you only count as one)
Mothers: 3
Category: Sempai!!!
Captain Shaw
Salty? Salty! Just some dipshit from Chicago. Walking trauma nerve, do not cross. Does NOT like jazz. Will work his way into your heart while still being the Doctor House of the Starfleet Engineering Corp. Ride or die, but goddamn had you better be ride or die, too, or he'll break you. He'll find a way. The angry sonovabitch that says all the words that tell you he hates your guts but will make you into the best version of yourself against your will.
Scorecard
Times he handed Starfleet legends their ass in verbal spars: Countless
Times he managed to keep an aging, neglected starship from falling apart around his ears in such a way as to make other Starfleet legends amazed: At least 1
Times he's set aside his personal (almost justified) prejudice against Borg to nurture and promote his first officer: 1
Times he was traumatized in such a way that we can kinda understand why he's such a massive tool: 1
Category: Angry Neighbor Shouting At Kids When They Lose Their Ball Over His Fence...then the ball is 'mysteriously' on the kid's porch the next morning with the leaks patched, re-inflated, cleaned up, and with a note about proper throwing technique
Will there be more? Maybe, if there's enough of a demand I might just do another post like this.

so i'm kind of in love with captain shaw
I dunno when this happened, because I did not like him to begin with (I've never been fond of that actor albeit irrationally). But hot damn. I want to know all the things about him ever. And write all the fics about him. But there's so little to go. BUT I LOVE HIM.

Captain Liam Shaw is a sarcastic misanthrope with PTSD. He's a silver fox. He's a dipshit from Chicago. He's an engineer.
His Wolf 359 speech destroyed me.
Why aren't you people talking about how unquestionably fuckable he is?

I was hit with PAINFUL inspiration for another Shaw piece because this man gives me a LOT OF FEELS.
Also, with Wolf 359 happening 30-34ish years prior, if Shaw is his actor's age Liam would have been 19-24ish years old. Like, it was obviously horrible and an unbelievable amount of terror on EVERYONE involved. But surviving the way he did on top of all the rest? That's a LOT to carry.

Shaw and Seven
So, we're back to Shaw disrespecting Seven and calling her Hansen, and everyone losing their shit over it. But I just rewatched both Dominion and Surrender and I have some thoughts about this.
First, let's just deal with the elephant in the room, that most people seem to be ignoring. When he was in the turbolift with Vadic and her hench-goons, Shaw gave Seven a direct order to blow the turbolift. He knew exactly what he was doing and why he was doing it, he had far more information about the situation than she did, and he, correctly, deduced what would happen if the turbolift reached the bridge and Vadic gained control of the ship.
Seven promptly ignored his order - she had plenty of time to carry it out - she just chose not to obey it. It doesn't matter why she chose not to obey the order, it only matters that in a situation where a superior officer with more information than she had about a situation gave a direct order specifically to protect the crew, she chose to disobey.
When Shaw is lying on the deck at the end of Dominion, the despair is just radiating off him, there are tears running down his face (Todd Stashwick just killed it in that scene); he knows exactly what is going to happen next - people, his people, are going to die - all because Seven chose to spare him. It's the Constance all over again, but worse, because he's the captain and his job is to protect these people, and he tried, but he was thwarted by an XO that defied him.
(Better picture now I can screenshot)
Which brings us to the bridge scene in Surrender. Shaw is pissed at Seven, Shaw is rightfully pissed at Seven. No one on the bridge has died yet, but Vadic has control of the ship and his crew are dying, he can hear them dying and, as we later see thanks to Jack, some of them are dying horribly. None of that would have happened if Seven had blown the turbolift when she was ordered to. He's absolutely right when he says that being a Starfleet officer means not just obeying the orders that feel good.
She tries to defend herself by saying she "doesn't trade lives". But he isn't buying it, nor should he, because she has traded lives, she's traded Shaw's life for the lives of his crew, possibly dozens of his crew.
Then it gets worse when Vadic executes T'Veen in front of them.
So, if calling her "Commander Seven" is a mark of respect (as she states previously) then he's demonstrating in that moment of contained rage and despair, that he doesn't respect her. And I'm not really sure he should, her action (or lack of action) has caused the deaths of his crew.
By the end of the episode it appears that all is forgiven, when he grants Seven the honor of destroying the Shrike, but that feels cheap; as did her "Captain Shaw, may I present your ship back". That implies that she had something to do with retaking the ship, and she didn't, she made a grand gesture which might actually have screwed up Jack's plan, and really didn't contribute anything to getting Vadic off the ship - that was all Jack, Data and Picard.
Don't get me wrong, I love Seven, but Shaw is absolutely in the right in this entire exchange and the idea that much of the audience thinks that his disrespecting her by calling her "Hansen" is a far more heinous crime than her disrespecting him by disobeying his orders and getting people killed, is bizarre to me.
ETA: If you show up in the comments or reblog to hate on Shaw, I will block you, just a warning. Reasonable debate and discussion is welcome, shit-talking is not.
