Is it the Borg? Is it a Romulan faction? Is it a new alien species? It looks very much as if this week’s Short Trek might finally give viewers an up close view of this mysterious enemy as they rain destruction on Mars. So the identity of Picard’s “powerful enemy” seems to remain a mystery for now. Those ships we’ve seen in so much action are clearly marked with a large Starfleet insignia. It might seem like these ships are the attackers, but another Picard trailer throws a twist into the mix. Picard, either in flashback or real-time, is gripped by shock inside a starship lounge as Mars blooms with explosions outside the windows. They’re seen firing weapons over a city while buildings erupt in balls of fire, as Picard’s voice declares “We face a powerful enemy.” They’re seen speeding past an exploding space station. These ships are seen approaching Mars in numbers. It is the same ship seen in several of the recent Picard trailers.
If you’ve been caught up on all of the Star Trek Picard teaser videos to date, there’s no mistaking that ship silhouette. As the Vulcan turns his head, a ship can be seen dashing across the screen. Additionally, there’s a fleeting moment in this trailer where a news program is visible on a large wall display behind the alarmed Vulcan teacher. To begin with, there’s the title of the short, “Children of Mars”. There’s little chance this has any meaning for Picard, but it’s a cute bit of ship recycling and a nod to the other show.īut the more interesting clues in the trailer are the ones that we can tie directly to the new Picard series. The 24th century school bus is none other than a very worn-looking Star Trek: Discovery era shuttlecraft. The first little easter egg that pops up is the arrival of the School Shuttle on screen. Now, there’s a bit to unpack in this 30 second teaser. A Vulcan faculty member with a worried expression watches something speed past overhead, and we see the frightened girls hold hands. As they both seem to be facing punishment for their misbehavior, the school is shocked by an emergency alert. The two girls attend a Federation school together, and we see several scenes of the pair picking on each other at school. In the teaser, we are introduced to 12 year-old classmates Kima and Lil. On January 2nd, CBS released a teaser trailer for the new short. This Short Trek is titled “Children of Mars”, and it promises tantalizing connections to the upcoming Picard series.
