Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, Episode 4 – "No Win Scenario"Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) reveals his traumatic backstory in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 4, "No Win Scenario," and his dramatic confrontation with Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is a big moment Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) was denied on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The chip on Shaw's shoulder was apparent ever since Picard and Captain Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) boarded the USS Titan-A. But Shaw's animosity goes much deeper than the fact that Riker and Picard tried to commandeer his starship.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's series premiere, "Emissary," featured the lone one-on-one meeting between Commander Sisko and Captain Picard. Sisko had just arrived at Deep Space Nine, which had been left in shambles by the departing Cardassians, and he was none-too-pleased to be summoned to the USS Enterprise-D to speak to its Captain. Sisko was the First Officer of the USS Saratoga during the Star Trek: The Next Generation's Battle of Wolf 359, when Picard, who was assimilated and turned into Locutus, led the Borg to decimate Starfleet. Sisko's wife, Jennifer (Felecia M. Bell), died at Wolf 359, and Ben became a widower raising their young son, Jake (Cirroc Lofton). Yet Sisko's tense briefing with Picard was nothing like Captain Shaw's revelation in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 4.
