Quick Analysis of the S2 Trailer
1. The Space Probe that the gang are one looks identical to the space probe that the Enterprise-D found in the TNG episode ‘The Neutral Zone’.
2. The Green Alien we see is actually an Alien from the Animated Series, called the Pandronians. They showed up in the TAS episode ‘Bem’. In the same scene, you can see the crew and weirdly, even Shax. He might be back.
3. In this scene and many others, is looks like Boimler is back on the Cerritos as an Ensign. He might just be undercover from the Titan or actually managed to bust himself back down.
4. Freecloud from Picard has been visited again by Lower Decks. We can see Tendi and Mariner running through the same street we saw Rios beam onto in Picard. And on the side, we can see Quark’s Franchise Bar on the left and a Caitian on the right.
5. The new Security Chief is Kaishan who is a Tamarian, a legend of a species from a well known episode of TNG, ‘Darmok’. Tamarians speak by giving example, as in metaphors or memes. In Comic-con, though, Mike McMahan mentioned that he does speak a little English, once in a while.
Also, he is wearing a drape which is similar to TNG S1 Worf.
6. I think that when he says, ‘Rapunki, when he joins the Seven’ it might be a reference to ‘The Seven’ in Jack Quaid’s ‘The Boys’.
Also, we can see that Dr. Migleemo is back on the Bridge. Paul. F. Thompkins, who plays the counselor, is also a friend of Tawny Newsome. They host the Official Star Trek Podcast ‘The Pod Directive’ together and in that podcast, he has mentioned before that he is coming back.
7. The moment when Mariner says, ‘Computer: RAMMING SPEED!’ is a direct reference to Worf in Star Trek: First Contact. Also, in the background, in that crate is some object that shows up in another scene in the Trailer which I will point out later.
8. Rutherford, who’s clearly lost his memory, is covered in what looks like Neurocortical Stimulators from the Voyager Era. Also, sadly, in the background, we can see the remains of the Sequoia.
Well, the Sequoia has been damaged all of S1 in the background so... Flashback?
9. This looks like another scene where Mariner is trying to escape the ‘Four Lights’ Oscar-worthy room while dealing with a Female Cardassian.
10. We see another scene of the USS Macduff that we saw in the First Teaser back in April. It looks to be in Debris, being chased by 3 unknown vessels which weirdly, reminded me of the Pakled tiny ships.
11. Aye, the Dad-miral is back! Freeman is already Captain and he wouldn’t be talking to random people so he’s probably asking Mariner to get promoted.
12. This isn’t an Easter egg but I just thought it was funny. On the wall of the Brig, Mariner has scribbled up a castle and written, ‘Mariner’s HQ’ with 2 ticks.
13. When Boimler is phasing through, we get a glimpse at the Titan’s Transporter room and it looks nearly identical to the Transporter of the Enterprise-E.
14. In the background when the gang beam down to some sort of Museum, we can see the Picture that Picard tried to paint of a nude lady in the TNG episode ‘A matter of Perspective’.
15. In the same scene, there are many more Easter eggs like-
- Andorian Ice mining tool/ Ushantar
- Jem Hadar Cartican Sword
- The Fin of a Catan Probe from ‘The Inner Light’ sticking out.
16. After analyzing what Jett was holding in his hand, I realized that it looked like a Doll of Lt. Kaishan? Look for yourself, it’s him.
17. In this scene, we can see the object that I mentioned before, in Tendi’s hand. Also, the aliens that Mariner flings Latinum at are Nausicans.
18. Just when Tendi was being swallowed, in the background was a broken Glass container. When Tendi says, ‘Don’t touch me’ you can see more containers with different things in the background just behind Mariner. One even looks like a piece of that Orange Alien Blob.
19. When Mariner and Tendi run away, we get a good look at a Dom Jot Table which looks identical to the one seen in the TNG episode, ‘Tapestry’.
20. Jeffery Combs, a well-known Trek background actor, does a cameo as the Evil Robot that’s asking Mariner to lose a couple pounds. You may remember him as Shran from ENT.
21. This is just another funny catch. When Tendi and Rutherford are building the Cerritos model, you cans see the little plastic nets that are used to hold on the ship pieces which is used a lot here now. That’s just a quirky attention to detail that I love.
(FUN FACT- Did you know that the OG Borg cube that we see was mad up of those plastic nets.)
22. Robert Duncan McNeil is back as a... Plate? Well, he’s still back, yay.
They’re actually selling that plate irl on Startrek.com which is a callback to the Janeway Voyager Commemorative plate.Â
23. Borg Boimler! Boimler Borg! Boimler of Borg! Borgmler?Â
Jokes aside, ‘Borgmler’ is recreating that moment with Locutus of Borg in TNG ‘Best of Both Worlds’.
24. That Crystalline entity is back too.Â
25. In the cage of the Ferengi vessel, we can see a Mugatu, which was seen in the teaser back in August.
26. As seen, Boimler and Mariner are wearing what looks to be an updated version of the Insurrection Dress uniforms.Â
27. One of the Security officers that’s dragging Mariner away is an Antaran.
Tell me if you found any more.
