That character death in Star Trek: Picard all but ends the desire to see Star Trek: Legacy

Star Trek: Legacy may have ended in Star Trek: Picard’s 9th episode, “Vox”.

There’s a good portion of fans who are hoping beyond hope for a Star Trek: Picard spinoff show called Star Trek: Legacy. This spinoff show would, in theory, feature Captain Liam Shaw, Seven of Nine, the La Forge sisters, Jack Crusher, and other characters who would make up a second-generation Star Trek show.

Yet, during the events of Picard’s penultimate episode, “Vox”, the hopes for that Legacy show took a huge blow with the apparent death of Captain Shaw.

While shielding The Next Generation crew from a host of newly minted Gen-BorgZ, Shaw took a phaser shot to the chest, allowing the aging crew members off the ship, but keeping Shaw behind, alongside Raffi and Seven of Nine.

Considering the show was being built in the eyes of many around Shaw, and his actor, Todd Stashwick, having him no longer be a part of it would ruin the concept of the show. Moreover, you could bring him back, but that would defeat the purpose of his noble sacrifice.

Yeah, it’s Star Trek and you can do whatever you want, but how about you don’t?

Captain Liam Shaw’s final moments make no sense

Throughout the entire season, Shaw has had an issue with Jean-Luc Picard and Seven of Nine due to their Borg-pasts. He displays this by addressing Seven of Nine as her birth name, Annika Hansen. Yet, with his dying breath, he calls her Seven of Nine.

Which makes no sense, because he was right to hate the Borg. They literally killed him. They took over his hip, and hundreds of others, killing thousands of people and he had every right to hate them for all the things they did to him and others.

Yet, he somehow lets go of his anger towards them after being murdered by them? It’s almost like they were the bad guys or something.
