basically when it comes to rescues from danger you two have a real chicken and egg thing happening
when Picard season 3 showrunner Terry matalis told Screen Rant that Not only was there a
plan from day one for Todd stashwick to reprise his role as Captain Liam Shaw but that it was
also amazing what am I saying again and every time he and Todd talk about it they get chills
a couple of things happened immediately for us the first thing is that if matala says the idea
is amazing you can take that to the bank did he give the TNG crew the send-off it deserved is
12 Monkeys the best science fiction time travel TV show of all time did he come up with the best idea
to incorporate the Kobayashi Maru into a new Star Trek TV show don't use the word exclusive okay
when you post this yeah oh wait you don't know about that one yet but trust us it's amazing in
fact everything that oozes from his New Jersey bred Einstein like Back to the Future inspired
science fiction brain is game changing look out and Paramount could literally print money on
the backs of Star Trek fans if they gave this guy the keys to the kingdom but I digress the second
thing we needed to do knowing Terry and Todd are giving each other chills on how they would bring
Shaw back should they get Star Trek Legacy off the ground was to figure out what Terry Todd and the
team of writers might be cooking up you see when Captain Shaw failed to be impressed with Picard
and Riker's exploits and then died trying to save his Shipmates a federation Legend was born but
wait you say they haven't green lit Star Trek Legacy yet and officially they haven't but we
have it on good authority that Alex kurtzman and Paramount execs are taking it very seriously and
the longer this Rider strike continues and slows down future production of already announced Star
Trek shows the more signatures the biggest Star Trek petition ever will continue to acquire and
the more time Executives can look at Picard's and three's numbers and say hot damn somebody
call Terry matalis oh yes shall fly so with that in mind we're going to break down all of the ways
metallis and his writing team could awesomely bring Shaw back and since a lot has been made
of how Picard season 3 feels a little bit Wrath of Connie well just like we lost our beloved
Spock in that movie you remember what the title of the next movie was right so inspired by that
ingenious marketing idea that had us eating at Taco Bell every day trying to get every one of
those fantastic collector glasses we have decided the Picard spin-off show must be named for our
newest favorite Starfleet captain oh no not that one don't worry she'll have her own video coming
up soon no this is Star Trek Legacy the search for Shaw so you don't want to miss this episode
and if you haven't already subscribed to our Channel please do so now and give us a thumbs
up if you want more honest pop culture like this and make sure you stay tuned to the end
to see how to get this awesome Star Trek Legacy design from the amazing artist at mixteas.com
there was a young lady from video the old grease monkey who stylizes himself a dip from Chicago who
has the cajones to stand up to Star Trek Legends Picard and Riker had brought a new kind of Star
Trek joy to our hearts and then spoiler alert in episode 9 he goes down some Star Trek fans had
fallen in love with Shaw so hard they simply couldn't recover from the loss and literally
lost their minds it literally ruined Shrek for me so why did they kill him off when so many
fans fell in love with him while it's true that the level of love for Shaw caught the production
team by surprise the reality is that he was always supposed to die according to matalis he was named
after Robert Shaw from Jaws no distress signal has been sent he was going to get eaten by the
shark he was going to be killed by the Borg that was always a very very simple story it
was part of his fate matalus attributes Shaw's surprising success to the riding team and Todd
stashwick's Charisma if you want a little more Shaw there are four seasons of 12 Monkeys you
can watch watch and see where that character's Life Begins and with that said we do have some
great news for everyone who cried a little when that Jordi laforge worshiping Blue Steak eating
no taking Star Trek daddy we know as Captain Shaw kicked the proverbial changeling bucket
no there are 11 different ways we think Star Trek writers can bring him back and make him

for bringing Captain Liam Shaw back in Star Trek Legacy make sure you watch all the way
to the end to see our favorite idea that brings Shaw back in the next show [Music]
if you engage in enough Star Trek fan conversation this is going to be an idea that comes up a lot
because for some reason Star Trek fans Just Can't Get Enough Holograms are they real do you have to
put up with their attitudes Professor Moriarty was the first of the self-aware Holograms and of
course his character inspired voyager's emergency medical hologram played by sci-fi Legend Robert
picardo then arguably one of the most interesting aspects of Picard season 1 was Captain Cristobal
Rios and his five Holograms he created in his own image to help him on the Lost Arena even
in Star Trek Prodigy we get hologram Janeway there to help out the new recruits Star Trek
fans love Holograms so of course it only makes sense that Captain Shaw could also be brought
back as a photographic recording of a light field as well Starfleet seems to keep a lot of
stuff on file why not the essence of Captain Shaw although instead of coming back as the captain of
a Starship he comes back as his first love the emergency chief engineer perhaps the Enterprise
G out on a five-year Mission loses their chief engineer and thanks to a lack of Starfleet
Personnel available over the age of 25 thanks Borg the Federation has implemented emergency
holograms for all critical positions Shaw gets to come back as the Grease Monkey he's always
loved being with no memory of his prior existence outside of Starfleet records but still maintaining
his sarcasm wit and charm seven must find a balance between her memories of Captain Shaw
her relationship with the doctor from Voyager and the budding individual eeh Shaw is now becoming
[Music] the last thing we need is another main Star Trek character running around as a Golem
pretending to be human we still have a bad taste in our mouth for robot Picard thanks to season one
but as was done with data this could be the way to go Star Trek has a fascination with Androids
that goes all the way back to the original series episodes like what are little girls made of I mud
Requiem for Methuselah and return to tomorrow so would we be shocked if someone has been secretly
working on a Shaw Android not at all and what about cloning it worked for shinzon and it's
always a possibility if they can find a way to speed up the body aging process who knows
what section 31 might be cooking up for Star Trek Legacy could a cloning program be on the horizon
[Music] one way very few people are considering Shaw could come back is that he simply never
died at all seven thought he was dead or left him for dead but he was only in a coma or vegetated
state Shaw suddenly wakes up in time for Star Trek Legacy but instead of returning as the captain of
a vessel he is Advanced to Admiral for his bravery during the Borg attack Admiral Shaw decides he
wants to plant his flag on the Enterprise G to Mentor his prior first officer the storylines
would be interesting as Admiral Shaw would be checking on Captain 7 frequently with crack
advice and sour overtones all while continuing to mold her into the captain he thinks she can be
Hue Force wielders are going to love this one what if Shaw came back as a sort of Force ghost that
only seven of nine can see in here something happened during her close proximity of Shaw's
death as a result of her Borg implants in a way Shaw is haunting her and he's actually trapped
he'd love to move on and she certainly wants him to as well during the first season he pops in and
out like Obi-Wan or Yoda does for Luke sometimes wanted and sometimes not the best part would be
getting to hear Shaw's sarcastic take on Seven's crew that only she and we would hear [Music]
once again Shaw is a hologram but this time he is related to a program on the Holodeck specifically
command training seven learns that some of her crew has been getting contradicting advice from
the Holodeck program that runs their command training and guess who is running the training
Hollow Captain Shaw forgive me at some point [ __ ] became a substitute for charm complete
with his same demeanor and priorities he's going by the book but seven wants her crew to be more
flexible Shaw's role in the Holodeck eventually becomes similar to that of gynen during TNG
he's the place people go to get advice and hear truths that are hard to hear [Music]
here's one you didn't see coming the shaw that was killed saving the crew wasn't Shaw at all it was a
changeling thinking the only way to take the Titan would be to replace her Captain one of vatic's
changelings becomes Captain Shaw at the same time Roe laryn boards the Titan the real Shaw is taken
off the ship with his crew but hidden the same way tuvak was as Shaw the changeling begins realizing
that what they are doing is wrong and begins to switch sides the growth that we see in the
character was not actually Captain Shaw and when he is eventually found he doesn't remember the
adventures from Picard season 3 and he and seven begin bumping heads again their relationship has
to start all over as he once again is her Superior even though she is the captain of the Enterprise
okay this is a good one Shaw died saving the crew but as a result of a transporter mishap during an
away mission on the Enterprise G Mirror Universe Shaw finds himself aboard the ship and how do we
know he's from the Mirror Universe does he have an evil looking goatee or wild laughter no this
Shaw is super nice helpful and really friendly he couldn't imagine being rude to anyone a truly
horrifying visitor from the Mirror Universe just feeling chipper an easy way to get Todd stashwick
back in a Starfleet uniform without coming up with a crazy death-defying story is to Simply
bring him back as his Twin Terry matalis did say he would bring back a Shaw character for
Todd to play maybe it's not the same Shaw what if his twin brother Thomas showed up he'd been
on Commercial vessels his whole life but when he heard his brother died he came to get to
know the people who knew him and Thomas would be the perfect name as an homage to Thomas Riker the
twin to will who is out there somewhere and how perfect would that name be considering
Liam is actually short for William very clever Mr metallis Right steals it like a thief in the night
Q is that right let's be honest if we are getting Star Trek Legacy we are going to need Q he's
already shown a huge interest in Jack what if Q while putting Jack on trial gets tired of
listening to seven bicker about his interference and materializes one Captain Shaw for her to deal
with instead Q might do it simply out of spite but here's an even better idea John delancia is
no longer a spring chicken he could probably keep going but when he's ready to hand over the Reigns
what if Q took on the appearance and mannerisms of Shaw there is no doubt Todd stashwick would be an
excellent cue that would definitely be unsettling for Captain seven oh and here I was hoping the
Next Generation wouldn't think so linearly foreign this is probably the most likely way you bring
Captain Shaw back within Star Trek Canon remember when seven brought nelix back to life with her
Nano probes during voyager's episode Mortal coil during the first few episodes of Star Trek Legacy
we learned that seven tried to save Shaw in the same way she saved nelix the talaxian had been
dead 18 hours when she started the procedure no one's ever been resuscitated after being dead for
18 hours from the moment Shaw had died until the moment the Borg Uprising had been put down was
less than 24 hours when seven was a part of the collective she had been able to bring drones back
to life after 73 hours of death we learned that once the battle was over she tried to use her
nanoprobes in the same way as she did when she saved nelix but it didn't appear to work later
somewhere in a Starfleet morgue Shaw wakes up and accesses the computer to find out what happened
to him he learns that seven used Borg nanoprobes on him and comes to the realization that this is
why he's alive the only problem is he can't live with the fact that the same Borg who murdered his
friends twice are now floating around in his body instead of going back to Starfleet he Blends into
society until one day he runs into Captain 7 on an away mission on the Enterprise G Shaw's inner
struggle would add incredible layers of depth to his character as he and seven get to know
each other once again and before we share with you our favorite way of bringing Shaw back for
Star Trek Legacy let us first share with you some wonderful fan fiction that made us smile from ear
to ear while talking to fans about how they'd like to see Shaw come back the most interesting
and enjoyable idea came from someone who wanted to write several wrongs all at the same time
don't forget the females females you'll be able to choose as many concubines as you'd like it was
suggested that Tripp Tucker from Enterprise faked his death and is now part of a time traveling
agency defending the Federation from evil time travel agents Tucker travels through time and
recruits Hammer from strange new worlds since his death was pointless but there was so much
you could have done with that character We Now understand that he had something greater to be
a part of and after hammer Tucker recruited Shaw who hadn't actually died in that moment seven who
had been in the fight of her life with the Borg left him there and Tucker stepped in and saved
him the three of them have been time traveling and protecting the Galaxy together ever since
a mission in the future will bring them face to face with Captain 7 and the Enterprise G
I'd uh appreciate if we could keep this between us here is the final way to bring Shaw back for Star
Trek Legacy and it's also our favorite Star Trek Legacy the search for Shaw Seven's been having bad
dreams and visions that she hasn't been sharing with anyone she's dreaming of Captain Liam Shaw
at different points in his life it's gotten to the point where she is hardly sleeping she remembers
back to when Shaw had been killed and she tried to save him using her nanites things have been
different for her since that day she also dreams about her mind meld with Tuvok years ago when they
were fighting over unimatrix zero with the Borg she goes to tulock finally desperate because she's
not sure what's wrong with her we learned that through some combination of tuvox lingering mind
meld the Borg Nano probes in sevensborg implants she's been carrying around the Katra of Liam Shaw
we also learned Shaw's body was taken by section 31 as part of the project Phoenix to daystrom
station so they could study why the Borg nanites didn't work despite the same thing happening to
spock and McCoy years earlier Starfleet doesn't believe seven and she tuvak and other close
members of her team take matters into their own hands they make a plan to steal the Genesis 2
device and Shaw's body on ice at daystrom station can seven bring Shah back if they do will a probe
show up looking for humpback whales and force seven to go back to 1984. you get the picture
my father says that you have been my friend you came back for me because the needs of the one
outweighed the needs of the many do you want Star Trek Legacy to happen and would you like
Terry matalis to bring back Captain Shaw which of these ways would you enjoy most
