CBS has released the first real trailer for the Picard series. It shows a whole lot of unrecognizable characters and stuff, with no views of Starfleets ships, so it’s impossible to say if this is actually in the TNG universe or some mutant STD/Kelvin timeline. However, there are a few hints that it might actually be back to TNG. There are some glimpses of Starfleet uniforms that look TNG-appropriate, and there are two cameos. One is wholly unsurprising, and is clearly partially the result of digital de-aging. The other actually made me laugh out loud and took me wholly by surprise.
CBS burned through my my supply of trust with the execrable STD, so I certainly won’t be subscribing to CBS All Access for this. But it actually does look like it has potential. That one unexpected cameo… oh, yes indeed.
