Star Trek Picard NYCC Trailer Analysis!!
this one took a bit but here is the trailer analysis for Picard!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR ALL THE NEW THINGS BUT ALSO GREAT TO SEE OLD FACES!
we began the vineyard, Chateau Picard
then we see Data standing underneath a tree, he’s painting something
Picard slowly walks up to Data, note that Picard in this shot is wearing his TNG era uniform as well - indicating that this can’t be real and is likely a dream
Data(?): “Would you like to finish it Captain?”
There is some ominous echo on the word Captain
then we are presented with image of some cloaked figure standing by a cliff side overlooking water? I’m not sure who this is or what is happening here, but this could be connected to some dark traumatic thing that is haunting Picard, perhaps someone died? (pls pls don’t let this be Beverly Crusher nope)
Picard replies to Data(?)’s question, “I don’t know how.”
Data(?) counters with “That is not true, sir.”
that weird haunting echo happens with Data’s words as we go into a montage of flashes between images of ships attacking somewhere and Data handing the paintbrush to Picard
now the ships that’s flying around attacking and setting things ablaze, I am not sure what they are, but if they are Romulan ships, they look to be similar to either the scout ships or the Valdore type warbirds
if this is Romulan ships, then it begs the question what is happening and what are they attacking? we know that Romulus was destroyed, so is this people trying to escape Romulus or is this some refugee area or another colony being attacked by other Romulans? or another species’ planet being attacked by Romulans?
next shot is Picard waking up, this could indicate that what we saw before was something that Picard was just dreaming about and he’s having nightmares
a good doggo Number One comes to Picard, and Picard says “Oh it’s alright Number One”
the first thing this feels to me is that Picard is suffering from some sort of PTSD, and Number One is possibly and likely an emotional support dog trained to help Picard when he’s dealing with PTSD episodes
more shots of the vineyard
we see Picard and Number One walking through the fields with Picard’s voiceover, “I came here to find safety but one is never safe from the past.”
in the next scene we see that Dahj, this mysterious new character played by Isa Briones, finds Picard at the vineyard
Dahj says “Please sir, someone’s after me.”
Picard looks shocked and concerned and worried
and here we are back to good ole San Francisco, home of Starfleet WOO!
this looks like Starfleet Headquarters? or at least the administrative wing of HQ
this I’m pretty sure is a projection of the Galaxy-class Enterprise D? because the nacelles doesn’t seem to match the Sovereign-class Enterprise E
so Picard comes into HQ and has to go to the receptionist desk, a funny conversation ensues here
Picard: “I have an appointment.”
Receptionist: “Your name please, sir?”
Picard: “Picard - p, i, c, a, r, d.”
Receptionist: “It’s nice to see you up and around again.”
LOL Picard’s face, he is most definitely not pleased at that last comment about “up and around again”
but hey, he gets a visitor’s badge!
now these two images are interesting, I am not sure where Picard is, but this is not at Starfleet HQ because his clothing is different and he doesn’t have a visitor’s badge, so this is at some other facility
the person next to him in white could be an android
these all look like androids, my guess is this is the same scene as the previous two shots of Picard at whatever facility he’s at, this could be a place that is developing androids?
this is a scene I believe that is taking place at the Borg cube, probably that same place in the last trailer where they are containing people who have been de-borged I assume? and where Dahj is being kept at?
now all the previous shots were played over Picard having a talk with this female admiral who’s name we do not know
Picard: “We have an obligation to investigate.”
Admiral: “There is no we, Jean Luc.”
Picard: “Admiral, I am standing up for the Federation, for what it should still represent!”
Admiral: “This is no longer your house, Jean Luc, go home.”
we see Picard leaving after this, and he does not look very happy. we also see a shuttle in this shot, it looks similar to the ones we see on Discovery, so this could be some old model still in use
now the conversation between Picard and the Admiral is a very interesting one, first from Picard’s side, he claims to be standing up for the Federation and what it SHOULD STILL represent, meaning that he doesn’t believe they are representing what the Federation should be right now, there is some resentment here that’s happened between Picard and Starfleet, and that may have been the cause for his retirement
but on the Starfleet Admiral’s side, there seems to be resentment here too, for Picard leaving, in the way she says how there is no “we” and that this is no longer Picard’s house because he left and he doesn’t get to just march back and tell people what to do
all of this just indicates further that something broke down between Picard and Starfleet, and it could very well be what is causing his nightmares
we see Dahj in the rain, I think this is before she goes to find Picard, but probably after she escaped from the Borg cube place
on the TV screens in the window, we see an image of Picard, and it looks like two people under an umbrella is watching this interview, I assume this is how Dahj decides to go find Picard, she probably saw this interview and somehow felt connected to Picard as we noted from her dialogue in the last trailer where she claimed that everything in her says that she’s safe with him
Picard is having a conversation with someone whom we don’t know, but Picard says “I have to help her.”
The other character (who looks to be played by actor David Paymer) asks, “You really wanna go back out into the cold?”
someone suggested that this character could be a Traveler, jduging by the clothes, hair, and hand
we see Picard looking out into the stars and then putting on his old communicator badge, the kind that’s seen last in the TNG films
and the decision is made when Picard answers the other character, “More than ever.”
so, Dahj is the catalyst to Picard having his sea legs back and wanting to do something more than just sitting around the vineyard
release date confirmed for next year! very soon now!
very cool landscape at we see Picard heading towards a house(?)
here we meet one of our main characters Raffi Musiker (played by Michelle Hurd), described to be an old friend of Picard’s and a former intelligence officer who is dealing with substance abuse, she has her ties to Starfleet as well and one of the other main characters Chris Rios
in this conversation, Picard says “I have a plan”, to which Raffi replies, “Another top secret unauthorized rescue mission?”
Picard scoffs a bit
now this conversation is interesting, because in one of the earlier trailers, it is noted that Picard presided over the biggest rescue armada in history? so Raffi’s comment here about unauthorized rescue mission could mean that this rescue armada that Picard had, it wasn’t Starfleet or Federation authorized, and this could explain the bad blood that seems to be happening between Picard and Starfleet
it is possible that the Federation/Starfleet refused to send a rescue armada to Romulus, perhaps thinking that Spock going there with the red matter was enough, but Picard refused to just stand by and do nothing so he secretly got a rescue armada out there to get people and maybe they lost ships and people died in the resulting mission when Romulus exploded? we know that Spock got there too late to stop the planet from exploding, so was Picard also there on hand to witness the destruction?
also Raffi here doesn’t sound so pleased about it either, given her sarcastic tone, so whatever that drove Picard away from Starfleet, could also have resulted in Raffi exiting Starfleet as well, hence her reaction to him at this moment
I’m not sure what this place is, but this doesn’t seem to be Starfleet? Maybe some research facility? perhaps Romulan? I’m not sure what that floating station is for? but that looks Romulan in design
but whatever it is, I think this is where Alison Pill’s character Dr. Agnes Jurati works at, we hear here saying, likely to Picard, “This is everything that ever mattered to me.”
this is a later scene, judging by her clothes, maybe she comes to Picard’s place to join him? but she says “I’m going with you.”
my assumption is that Dr. Jurati is working on something android or Borg related that is helpful on this mission or else I don’t think Picard would have gone to her
this could be a Romulan colony or refugee place?
here we meet Elnor, played by Evan Evagora, he’s supposed to be a young Romulan who is very loyal to Picard
this also seems to be the same place in the last trailer where we saw Picard going to and got manhandled by some Romulan guards
and here is our cigar smoking(?) space cowboy Cristobal “Chris” Rios (Santiago Cabrera), another ex-Starfleet officer and friend of Raffi, who captains the ship that Picard and team is going to be traveling on
the ship’s name starts with an “L”, I believe Santiago mentions it at the panel at one point and I think the name got out due to an instagram post by a younger actor on the show - Lascerina(?) or something similar, I will have to check that again
we also hear Picard’s voiceover scenes of Elnor and Rios, “I need your skill and your courage” - skill on a shot of Elnor, and courage on a shot of Rios
so this is that Borg cube we have been seeing before where a bunch of Romulans are working on
now we got some bloodied body parts? looks like Borg people are being hung up and experimented on?
but there is a body on the floor so I guess something went wrong?
and someone standing over the body on the slab?
the next shot shows that it looks like it was Seven who was standing over the body, and she’s holding the body and crying
there’s been many speculations over who this could be - some have said, Chakotay, some of said maybe hers and Chakotay’s child, or Icheb, or Hugh
I don’t think it is Hugh, as I think Hugh has a different and bigger arc in this story, they wouldn’t just have brought in Jonathan Del Arco and have him be involved in promoting the show if he’s just going to be dead
I’m also not sure that it’s Chakotay because why would the Romulans want to experiment on him? He’s Maquis, not Borg, and that hair is pretty dark and I think by now Chakotay would have gone grey?
so perhaps either Seven and Chakotay’s kid or Icheb, most likely, Icheb
here we have a shot of Raffi looking rather pensive
this is Rios’ ship flying over Earth, I think
Rios in his seat in the captain’s chair, we see Picard and Elnor to the left of the shot, and Raffi and Jurati on the right
all of this is playing over Picard’s voiceover that says “The past is written, but we are left to write the future.”
it looks like he may be saying this to Rios while on his ship, so maybe he’s trying to convince Rios to join in this scene?
then we have Rios going “Hold on...” sounding like a total cowboy, he might as well have said Giddyup! i’m starting to sense we have another horse obsessed person named Chris happening over here
new updated tech on ships than we’ve seen before, no arm rest, but holographic controls
ship is flying off to the new journey!
yes he is a legend
now this is Rios’ ship and another smaller vessel firing upon a Romulan warbird, in fact, it’s a 23rd century Romulan warbird back in TOS time - this makes sense though since with Romulus being destroyed, it’s likely that they are falling back on old tech to keep going
this is at the place where Elnor is at, looks like Picard is getting into some sword fighting with a Romulan guard? old man still got it!
here is a masked figure smashing a window - this could be someone possibly searching Picard’s place? maybe to find Dahj? Or something else is happening
yeah...so....NEW SHIP
Rios and Jurati being super cute here celebrating with a high five
they are already adorable
yes I SHIP IT
back to the Borg cube
we see Dahj, this is pre-escaping
here we have two Romulans - Harry Treadway’s Narek and another unnamed Romulan female played by Peyton List - they are discussing about Dahj, with the female Romulan saying “She was sent for a reason.” and Narek replying “I’ll get the information we need.”
well, that apparently means have sex with her >.<
Elnor drawing his sword - I think this takes place on the Borg cube, there is something in this shot behind Elnor, I think it’s Hugh
now I think this is Picard going to where Seven of Nine is living - she did ask him what he was doing there in their conversation in the last trailer
a shot of Hugh!
Seven and Picard seems to be continuing their conversation from the last trailer, and here we hear Seven say “I help people who has no one else to help them.”
again this seems to imply that bad things have been happening and Starfleet/Federation isn’t doing anything, and Seven doesn’t look like she stayed in Starfleet either, so there seems to be a lot of ex-Starfleet people running around doing their own thing
OUR QUEEN OUR BADASS DUEL WIELDING YAS YOU SHOOT THEM ALL SEVEN!!!
then we get this moment
who is this big tall fella standing in this nice kitchen??????? IS IT OUR BELOVED HUMAN NUMBER ONE WILLIAM T RIKER???
We hear a kid going “Daaaaddddd!”
Riker: “What!”
Kid: “Come out here!”
Riker: “StOp YeLLiNg!”
Kid: “It’s Jean Luc Picard!”
Riker freezes after that as we hear the TNG theme swells up to...
Picard: “Hello Will.”
A SHOCKED RIKER APPEARS!
PICARD USES STUN! IT’S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
we then hear Deanna Troi saying “Jean Luc” as she greets him!!!!!!!
DEANNA TROI USES HUG!!!!
IT IS TOTALLY SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!!!!
RIKER AND TROI ARE STILL TOGETHER, THEY ARE HAPPY, AND THEY HAVE AT LEAST ONE KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *inhuman screech*
this looks like more shots of Rios’ ship fighting against the Romulan warbird
someone is dribbling a soccer ball, but I’m not sure where this is, maybe Rios’ ship or some other facility
a group of people in black robes standing around a circle as some sort of wave is released, and it seems to knock them down - I’m not sure if this location is where Picard finds Elnor?
here we have Hugh seemingly leading Dahj and Picard around some corridors - I assume that Dahj somehow gets recaptured once she finds Picard and this is what leads Picard to get out there to go find her, so this is Dahj’s second time escaping from the Borg cube?
some sort of game is being played? likely by Dahj, since it looks like her hands and her clothing that she was wearing in a previous shot, or maybe some sort of tarot card reading?
Rios and Jurati ship is sailing!!!!
this looks like ships attacking some space station? not sure if this is a flashback or not?
this looks similar to the ship in Picard’s dream montage
Seven again!
this could be a young Dahj perhaps? pre-assimilation maybe? there’s a rainstorm outside
Raffi is checking a phaser
Dahj is screaming as we see burns on her face, maybe this is how the Romulans capture her after her initial escape where she finds Picard the first time? it’s certainly on the same steps where Picard saw her fighting a couple of soldiers
a shot of Picard clapping
looks like more shots of Rios’ ship fighting the Romulan warbird
all of these shots playing over Picard saying “We all have a story just waiting to be claimed.”
and we are back to our boys on the lakeside (RIKER AND TROI HAVE A LAKE SERIOUSLY OMG???)
Picard says, “Thank you for not trying to talk me out of all this.”
Riker chuckles and replies, “Believe me, I know better.”
Picard pats Riker’s hand that’s on his shoulder
we see the shot of them sitting by the lake, just the two of them chuckling
this moment between them is so much more intimate, more warm, and more welcoming than all of their interactions from the previous episodes and films - no doubt helped by the fact that we are not longer looking at a captain and his first officer who has to remain professional, but just two old guys on equal footing able to indulge in a close friendship, since it looks like neither Riker nor Troi are in Starfleet any longer
and of course, this moment also speaks to the real life friendship between Jonathan Frakes and Patrick Stewart as well, they are finally able to bring more of their real life bond into the relationship on screen
so, we get the title card, Star Trek Picard we will out starting January 23, 2020!!!!!
i’m honestly really really psyched! and of course the old faces coming back is always great, but I am already in love with these new characters and I am excited to see Trek move forth in the timeline and dealing with the aftermath of Romulus’ destruction and what the state of the galaxy would be like afterwards
not to mention the state of the Federation and Starfleet itself, as it seems there may be a gradual decline, as many of our heroes seems to have left Starfleet or running around doing things behind Starfleet’s back
2020 can’t come soon enough!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!
