We spoke with StarTrekPicard's ToddStashwick on that pivotal Shaw moment from Episode 4 and his favorite moment from filming the season.
Up until the fourth episode of Star Trek: Picard's third season, Trekkies have been on the fence about whether they should love or hate Captain Liam Shaw . He runs a tight ship aboard the U.S.S. Titan, gives Seven of Nine a hard time, and he has absolutely no issue going toe-to-toe with legends like Jean-Luc Picard and William Riker .
What is the secret to keeping that balance? Because it is such a balancing act, like on a tight wire. STASHWICK: Some of the inspiration for the character was – specifically talking about that scene, obviously—some of the inspiration for that scene was [Sam] Quint's monologue about the Indianapolis, from Jaws. Hence, his name's Shaw after Robert. I knew that going into the whole project that that was his connection to Picard, and that he has this life-altering experience that is deeply connected to Picard. An experience that shapes his entire worldview going forward.
I loved the fact that this guy is not impressed with the legends. He does not see them as having high status over him, except for one character he does. I don't know if you got to that scene yet, but there's one character from [The Next Generation] that makes his heart go pitter-patter. There's a lovely little moment to the point where Seven and Picard have to look at each other because I am just fangirling over one of the other characters.
