Notes:

Dialogue in italics is voice over, dialogue that isn’t italicized is seen spoken on screen.

Where bits of dialogues have very clearly been cut together from different lines, I’ve indicated this by adding “[cut]”

The time codes refer to the versions of the trailers I have, your milage may vary.

My naming practices are not 100% consistent, though I did my best. I’m generally talking about the different settings of the show as

“Present” (2399-2400, when we meet our motley crew again after the events of Coppelius, at the beginning of episode 1);

“Totalitarian Nightmare” (The alternate version of the present Q throws the crew into. I’m usually referring to this as the dystopian or totalitarian present/clothes/Sanctuary Districts/whatever);

“Past” (2024, the past from the perspective of our heroes.)

I use “Sirena” and “alt!Sirena” somewhat interchangeably. Practically all of the shots of the ship in these trailers show the alternative version of the ship from the dystopian timeline, and where it’s orginial 2399 Sirena, I make that clear.

I focus so much on the clothing of the characters because that’s really helpful in grouping together shots, figuring out timelines, and trying to piece together which bits of the previews belong together. Bear with me.

Trailer 5 (Fourth Teaser), released then deleted (again), Feb’22

Shot 1 (00:01-00:02)

La Sirena (in grey colouring) approaches Earth at speed. As she enters the atmosphere, she burns from the friction along the hull. Earth does not seem to have any significant orbital activity and there is no defense grid.

Picard: “The…”

Scene 1 (Academy Commencement, Present)

Shot 2 (00:02)

Wide shot of the Srtarfleet Academy auditorium. On the half-round stage, Picard is standing at a podium, while six other Starfleet officers are sitting in a half-circle behind him. Raffi, in operations gold, is sitting on his right. The audience is filled with people in Starfleet uniforms and Stafleet cadet uniforms.

Picard: “…true final…”

Shot 3 (00:03)

Picard, wearing his admiral uniform, is clapping for Elnor who is in the audience off screen.

Picard: “… frontier…”

Shot 4 (00:03-00:04)

Elnor, wearing a Starfleet Cadet uniform, stands up from where he was sitting among other cadets. He’s smiling a little awkwardly, as the people around him clap and smile at him.

Picard: “… is time.”

Shot 5 (00:04)

Raffi, wearing her uniform and commander pips on her collar, winks at Elnor.

Scene 2 (Collection of Shots)

Shot 6 (00:05)

Extreme close-up of Q(?) snapping his fingers. He seems to be wearing a light-coloured outfit, but it’s impossible to tell for sure.

Shot 7 (00:06)

Close-up of Picard, wearing a white shirt, looking pensive. The background is simple blue-ish light that then flickers off, so it might be some kind of vision?

Shot 8 (00:06)

The unknown red-haired woman is sitting or crouching(?) in a room at night. She’s holding a finger to her lips, telling someone to be silent. Behind her, curtains conceal a window looking out on what might be greenery. Just before the camera cuts, she leans forward with urgency, looking very concerned.

Shot 9 (00:06)

Agnes, wearing a red ball gown, is seen from behind, walking down the cycle lane next to a broad downtown street at night. Cars are driving on the road. (Presumably LA at night)

Shot 10 (00:06-07)

Close-up of a very old, knotted hand gesturing to the side at something off-screen. The person pointing is wearing a grey-ish shirt with rolled up sleeves but we can’t see more than their up to their elbow. In the very blurry background, a person with a light outfit and dark hair seems to be looking at the person doing the gesturing.

Shot 11 (00:07)

Two unknown people are standing in a corridor in front of a large wooden double door. We can only see their backs, but one is tall, has shoulder-long hair in a pony tail, and is wearing a grey-ish shirt with rolled-up sleeves. The other is small, possibly a child, and is wearing a light coat. Their hair is twisted into a braid like a crown on their head. As the door opens, a very bright, white light shines out from behind it.

Might be the same people as in the shot before, but impossible to tell.

Shot 12 (00:07)

Zoom in on Earth from space (à la Google Earth). The planet is covered by the hexagonal defense grid, which is partially hidden by clouds. The shot zooms in on La Barre in France. Part of the defence grid seems to be inactive, leaving a slice of the globe uncovered.

Picard: “Our world…”

Shot 13 (00:07-00:08)

The Borg Queen, secured in a holding cage with forcefields around it, is lifted up from a misty pit in the floor. She is lifted past the railings of the pit at the centre of the totalitarian rally.

She is connected to her holding cage by wires (or tentacles) at her shoulders, and her hands are shackled.

Shot 14 (00:09)

Wide shot of the stage at the rally as the queen is lifted from the pit. (This is actually the same building as the ceremony at the Academy, though it’s unclear if that’s intentional in-universe).

Picard is standing next to the pit from which the queen is lifted, while Seven is standing at a lectern stage right of the pit.

The people in the audience cheer and pump their fists. The green light flickers along the forcefield surrounding the Queen’s holding cage.

Picard: “… has been [cut]…”

Shot 15 (00:09-00:10)

Picard, in his totalitarian coat and regalia, is standing in on stage at the rally. Behind him, the red, black, and white logo of the totalitarian regime looms on a large banner.

Picard: “… transformed.”

Shot 16 (00:10)

Shot over the head of the crowd at the rally as they pump their fists in the air in unison. The attendees of the rally look mostly human, but only few faces are visible.

Shot 17 (00:11)

Drone’s-eye view of neon-lit Hong Kong at night. There’s an explosion near the top of a skyscraper.

Shot 18 (00:11)

Back at the rally, a man has his fist raised in the air and is shouting (or chanting) angrily.

Shot 19 (00:11-00:12)

Two people in full black tactical armour hurry down the Future Sanctuary District street past market stalls. They have their rifles raised and the left eye holes of their black helmets are glowing red. There might be a person lying collapsed on the street behind them.

Shot 20 (00:12)

Elnor in his street clothes runs through some market stalls and clears an obstacle with a skilled jump as the display behind him explodes from a phaser blast.

Shot 21 (00:12)

Seven wakes up in her bed in the totalitarian nightmare with a start. The left half of her face is hidden behind her hand on the pillow.

Shot 22 (00:13)

Seven sits up in bed. The apartment is large and luxurious. The other side of the bed has been slept in, but nobody else is there.

Picard: “We’ve been deposited… [cut]”

Shot 23 (00:14-00:15)

Rios, presumably having just arrived in the totalitarian nightmare, is standing on the bridge of alt!Sirena. Outside the front window, a Vulcan ship is flying by, being pursued by other Kaplan F17’s (same model and now grey colour as La Sirena). The Vulcan ship is shooting at Sirena and as a shot hits the blue-flaring shields. Rios gets shaken and loses his footing.

Picard: “… in [cut] an…”

Shot 24 (00:15-16)

Raffi, wearing her dystopian coat, is standing in front of a market stall in what looks like the dystopian Sanctuary Disctrict. It’s night and snow(?) is falling. Raffi is holding a phaser and looks down at herself and then around herself in confusion.

Picard: “…alternate reality.”

Shot 25 (00:16-17)

The Borg Queen, still attached to her holding cage, is looking at someone off-screen.

Borg Queen: “Time has been broken.”

Scene 3 (Spliced Shots)

A superimposed line appears over the centre of the shot (I the middle of the Borg Queen’s face. A series of shot follows in split screens, with bright lines radiating out from a centre point segmenting the screen into two wedges of varying sizes and constellations.

Shot 26 (00:17-00:19)

The shot of the Borg Queen, but the top right quarter of the screen is segmented off to show the scene of Picard, holding a shard of glass with a rose painted on it, which is from the old conservatory windows.

Shot 27 (00:19)

The top half of the shot is Picard, wearing his totalitarian coat, turning around, looking worried. Behind him, flags with the totalitarian logo are hanging in the background.

The bottom half of the shot has a man clad in black, holding a rifle with a green laser sight, entering the courtyard full of broken crates and barrels seen in Trailer 2. Another person with a green-glowing rifle is entering the shot in the foreground.

Shot 28 (00:18-00:20)

Most of the shot is Picard looking of a portrait of a younger version of himself in a black uniform with grey colour (the maroon monster uniform but evil). He’s reaching up to touch the painting.

The top right corner of the picture is an extreme close-up of Agnes’s face. It’s difficult to interpret her expression (surprise? Pain? wonder?), but a tear track is just visible on her cheek.

Picard: “To save…”

Shot 29 (00:20)

The top left corner is a shot of La Sirena, flying in space. She still has her red-and-white paint job, though its extremely scratched up and somewhat faded.

Most of the shot is a kid’s hand, holding up a toy space shuttle and “flying” it along against a backdrop of vending machines.

Picard: “…the future…”

Shot 30 (00:20-00:21)

On the left, Soji, in her white ambassador’s outfit and half-tied-up hair, is sitting at a table, smiling and raising a glass to the people around her.

On the right, is the shot through the sickbay skylight of Elnor lying on a see-through sheet of plastic(??) on the exam table. Raffi is holding on to the restraints and the top corner of the table tightly. And is lying half on top of Elnor.

The light in sickbay is ominously Borg-green and there are boxes strewn all around the scuffed floor.

Shot 31 (00:21)

On the left, Elnor, with curly, flying hair, is looking around in panic. It’s night, but the window behind him is illuminated by red neon light.

On the right, Agnes, in her dystopian shirt, is walking towards the back of alt!Sirena, looking around carefully. She’s holding a 21st century shotgun pointed at the floor.

Shot 32 (00:21)

On the left is the shot of Seven, looking at herself in the mirror, touching the eyebrow where her Borg implant used to be in concerned confusion. She has what might be a wedding ring on her finger.

On the left is a skull with a Borg occular implant over one eye. It’s hard to say if the skull used to be human, but I think there are some alien ridges visible that might not be due to Borg tech.

Shot 33 (00:21-00:22)

The top is a shot of the roofs of Château Picard, panning up to show the huge skyscrapers visible over the hills in the distance.

At the bottom is Picard’s hand, holding an ornately decorated key made from copper, silver, and what might be precious stones. Picard seems to be wearing his grey 21st century jacket.

Picard: “…we have to…”

Shot 34 (00:22-00:23)

On the left, alt!Sirena is flying corkscrews to escape the three evil!Starfleet vessels pursuing her and firing her. Their trajectory takes them away from earth, covered in the hexagonal defense grid.

On the right, Picard, wearing his totalitarian coat and regalia, is talking to someone off screen.

Picard: “…repair the past.”

Shot 35 (00:23-00:24)

Several Kaplan F17 ships are in a shoot-out with unidentifiable ships in space (possibly the same Vulcan ships as earlier). One of the Kaplans gets hit with phaser fire repeatedly, which is at first absorbed by its shields, but then the ship explodes at a final hit.

Shot 36 (00:24-00:25)

Wide shot of the back of La Sirena’s upper deck. Seven, Raffi, and Rios, all in their 24th century clothes, are standing with their backs to the camera, looking at the back of the deck. You can just make out the hands of the Borg Queen strapped to the engine lights, though she is mostly hidden by Raffi.

Picard and Agnes, both still in their dystopian clothes, though without their coats, are looking back at the others. They’re standing in front of two chairs that are facing each other, close to the engine (possibly on the transporter platform). Agnes is holding what might be a black notebook, or possibly a large PADD.

Rios: “Time travel?”

Shot 37 (00:25-00:26)

Rios, wearing his dystopian black jacket, is looking doubtfully at the Borg Queen, and talking to Agnes off screen. Behind him, the lights of Sirena’s upper deck are visible.

Rios: “This better work.”

Shot 28 (00:26-00:27)

Agnes is standing between the Borg Queen and Sirena’s engine, working on something at the Queen’s back. Her forhead is scrunched up in focus, and maybe a little bit of concern, as she turns to Rios to answer.

The Borg Queen is staring ahead with a neutral expression and doesn’t react to anything around her.

Agnes: “It probably will.”

Shot 29 (00:27-00:28)

Close-up on Picard’s(?) hand plugging a cable sparking green energy into the Borg Queen’s back.

Shot 30 (00:28)

Close-up on the queen, staring ahead with a sinister smile. Sirena’s engine light is glowing blue behind her shoulder. She jerks her head to the side.

Shot 31 (00:28-00:29)

Sirena is flying close to the surface of the sun, burning up from heat or friction. Blue lights start to swirl around her, and she disappears in a flash of light, as the blue swirl continues for a bit on the path the ship would have taken and then dissipates.

Shot 32 (00:29)

Picard, in his totalitarian coat and regalia, is standing in on stage at the rally. Behind him, the red, black, and white logo of the totalitarian regime looms on a large banner. [Same shot as earlier but in reverse]

Borg Queen: “The past…”

Shot 33 (00:29-00:30)

Picard is walking between the vines on his vineyard, wearing a green jacket and a cap. The shot is playing in reverse.

Shot 34 (00:30)

Picard, sitting at his seat on the bridge, is lookinig ahead stoically as sparks fly around him and the ship shakes.

Shot 35 (00:30-00:31)

A teenager in a white shirt (possibly young Picard?) is walking down a hallway in what might be the Château. The shot is played in reverse.

Shot 36 (00:31)

Real footage of the take-off of a Saturn V rocket. The same footage was used in the Intro of Star Trek: Enterprise.

The footage is played in reverse.

Borg Queen: “… is…”

Shot 37 (00:31-00:32)

The Borg Queen is hanging in front of Sirena’s engine lights. Her arms are spread out wide and she has a cuff on each wrist, but they are no longer connected. Cables/tentacles sprout from her shoulders to the ceiling, as well as (seemingly) from her hands. More cables hang down from her back to the floor, and the beginning of her lower prehensile spine is just visible. She is staring at the camera ominously. The engine light a few feet behind her is glowing bright green.

Borg Queen: “…now.”

Shot 38 (00:32)

A shot presumably through the front window (or ceiling window) of Sirena’s bridge. Colourful lights are rushing towards the window at speed, as a bright point of light at the centre approaches, growing ever brighter, until the screen fades to white.

Shot 39 (00:35)

Scenic shot of the LA skyline over a lake and some palm trees in warm, slightly orange sunlight. [Same as trailer 2]

Agnes: “We are [cut]…”

Shot 40 (00:35-00:36)

Picard is standing on a street corner of what is presumably L.A. in 2024, looking around with slightly sceptical wonder. It’s a quiet back alley with dumpsters and electrical lines. On the corner is a little shot with a car parked in front. Picard is wearing his grey 2024 jacket and burgundy turtleneck with the evil!Starfleet delta pinned to it. [Continuation of a shot from Trailer 3, where Picard beams in on the corner and the license plate of the car can be seen. It reads S02 E01]

Agnes: “…at a fork in the road.”

Shot 41 (00:36-00:38)

Wide shot of Starfleet Headquarters on San Francisco Bay with the skyline of the wider city in the background. The Golden Gate Bridge, covered in solar panels. Can be seen at the side of the shot. It’s day and the scene looks very beautiful.

A bright line appears, splitting the shot in two. On the right side, the same vista appears, thought this time it’s the totalitarian nightmare version of San Francisco. It’s night, and the planetary defence grid is visible glowing red in the night sky. The buildings appear to mostly be the same, except for the Starfleet logo on one of them in the normal shot, which has been replaced with the intricate emblem of the totalitarian regime. On the water of the bay, there is a huge holographic statue of a man called Adam Soong. He has the Soong face and the name circles around the base of the statue. Soong is has one hand behind his back and is holding up a globe the size of a football in the other.

Agnes: “Two futures.”

Shot 42 (00:38-00:39)

The shot is split in two again. On the left, Seven and Picard, wearing 24th century jackets, are walking down a corridor on the USS Stargazer. Seven still has her Borg implants. Picard is talking, though we don’t hear him. A Lieutenant in a red Starfleet uniform is standing at attention at the side of the corridor.

On the right, Seven, in her totalitarian blazer, is walking with someone in a similar grey uniform, who is talking to her. Both have the insignia of the totalitarian regime pinned to their chests. In the background, people in black with evil!Starfleet delta badges guard a staircase Seven and her companion must have just walked down.

Shot 43 (00:39)

Top half of the shot is a close-up of Seven’s totalitarian badge in it’s display case. The bottom half is an extreme close-up of someone, presumably Admiral Whitley, holding out a 2399/2400 Starfleet Badge.

Shot 44 (00:39-00:40)

Rios, wearing a red Starfleet uniform and a Starfleet badge is sitting, leaning slightly to the side, smiling at something off screen. (Presumably on the bridge of the Stargazer). Another person in a red Starfleet uniform walks past behind him. Rios’s rank pips aren’t visible, possibly hidden by the collar of his uniform jacket riding up.

Shot 45 (00:40)

Rios, wearing his 2024 grey Henley, is standing in front of a height-chart wall to get his mughsot taken. He stares grimly at the camera, holding up a sign that reads “ID No 032894” and “Castaic Deport”.

Light flashes as he is photographed from the front, then in profile.

(Rios is just over 6’ tall, counting the floofy hair)

Shot 46 (00:41-00:42)

The left side of the split shot is a close-up of (Romulan) Laris looking at Picard (or rather Picard’s lips). Picard is reaching a hand out to touch her face.

On the right side, Laris, now with human eyebrow and ears, is pointing a futuristic-looking weapon (or scanner?) at someone off screen. She has her hair tied up and is wearing a black blazer and blue scarf.

Shot 47 (00:42-00:43)

On the left, the Borg Queen is being lifted up by various cables in front of Sirena’s engine lights, her lower spine clearly visible. The light behind her is flickering blue.

On the right, Agnes is walking purposefully along what might be a parking lot in 2024 LA. She’s wearing the red ball gown, but the sleeves are ripped in a number of places and the skirt is tattered in places. It flares open to reveal she’s wearing black boots.

Behind Agnes, Seven wearing blue jeans and burgundy shirt, is sitting on the ground, slumped against a dumpster.

Picard: “This wrong…”

Shot 48 (00:43)

On the left is a shot of Rios, Laris, and Picard in their ball clothes (tuxes and black dress). Picard is lying on the tiled floor, seemingly collapsed. Rios and Laris are bending over him. Rios holds a hand to Picard’s neck as if feeling for a pulse. Laris puts her hand on Picard’s chest.

On the right side, Raffi is standing over Elnor in alt!Sirena’s sickbay. She’s crying desperately and reaching for his head.

Picard: “…must be…”

Shot 49 (00:43)

Picard, in black turtleneck, opens the large door to the conservatory.

Picard: “…righted.”

Shot 50 (00:43-00:44)

Reversed shot of a young boy (Picard?) in vest and cap, opening the doors to the conservatory.

Shot 51 (00:44-00:45)

Close-up of Raffi’s hands, wearing fingerless gloves, priming a phaser.

Guinan: “Your…”

Shot 52 (00:45)

Picard, Laris, and Rios are standing in a grandiose room, with extremely high, arched ceilings, painted walls, and a chandelier. There are stacked chairs next to Rios and a metal rack next to Picard, so they might be in a prepping area.

Picard and Rios are in 21st century tuxedos. Picard is wearing a bow-tie, Rios a black tie and cuff-links, though he might also be wearing a name tag? Laris is wearing some off-the-shoulder dress and fancy earrings. Her eyebrows are human and her ears are hidden in her hair.

Laris is holding a slim metal device straight out at the camera. As Picard and Rios shield their eyes, bright blue light emanates from the device.

Guinan: “…answers…”

 Shot 53 (00:45)

A cop car, overtaking other cars on a busy street.

Guinan: “…are not…”

Shot 54 (00:46)

Seven and Raffi are sitting in the cop car. Seven is driving. Raffi looks over at Seven as if she’s about to ask a question.

 Shot 55 (00:46-00:47)

Close-up of Guinan, sitting in her bar.

Guinan: “in the stars.”

Shot 56 (00:47)

Agnes, wearing the torn red ball gown and flat black boots, is running along a row of cars, jumping from one boot to the next in great leaps.

Shot 57 (00:47)

A group of Starfleet officers, phasers at the ready, are running down a corridor on the USS Stargazer. The corridor is bathed in red light from the red alert.

Shot 58 (00:48)

Close-up of Picard grasping hands with someone. Only their hands and bits of their sleeves are visible. Picard is wearing a green-grey jacket, the other person’s sleeves have very colourful stripes.

Shot 59 (00:48)

Q, wearing his black judges coat, is standing with Picard outside the château. Q glares at Picard and snaps his fingers angrily in front of Picard’s face.

Shot 60 (00:48-00:49)

A woman in blue Starfleet uniform is thrown backwards by an explosion on the bridge of the USS Stargazer.

Shot 61 (00:49-00:51)

Seven, Picard, Raffi, and Elnor, wearing their dystopian clothes, beam into the Borg Queen lab.

Picard: “We have to make our way home.”

Shot 62 (00:51-00:52)

Guinan is smiling at Picard, as they sit at a table in Guinan’s bar together. They clink their glasses.

Picard: “Together.”

Shot 63 (00:52)

Reverse shot of Picard, raising his glass to Guinan. The neck of a barely visible bottle of seems to indicate they’re drinking saurian brandy.

Shot 64 (00:53)

Shot of Sirena in space. She hovers for a moment, then shoots off towards the sun in a streak of blue light.

Trailer 3 (Second Full Trailer), January 2022

Scene 1 (Time Travel on La Sirena, Totalitarian Nightmare)

Shot 1 (00:05-00:08)

Alt!Sirena is fleeing from three evil!Starfleet ships, who are shooting at her. (Nova-class and Steamrunner-class if I’m remembering correctly.)

Shot 2 (00:08)

Picard and Agnes, both in their dystopian coats, are sitting on the bridge, Picard at ops, Agnes in the portside backwards seat. The ship is shaking and Picard looks troubled.

Picard: "There are some…”

Shot 3 (00:09)

Seven, in her totalitarian blazer, is sitting at the tactical console, while Rios, in his leather jacket, is sitting in the captain’s chair but his pilot’s controls aren’t activated. Behind them, sparks rain down from the ceiling. The ship is bathed in a green-ish light and the engines are green, though it’s not clear if the Borg Queen is currently strapped to them.

Picard: "… moments…”

Shot 4 (00:10)

Alt!Sirena is flying evasive maneuvers close to Earth, which is protected by the totalitarian hexagon detection grid. One phaser burst grazes the ship and is deflected by the shields, but she’s able to evade the other phasers and red torpedoes the evil!Starfleet ships are firing at her.

Shot 5 (00:11)

In sickbay, Elnor is lying on a metal table, shaking and visibly in pain or distress. Raffi, in her dystopian outfit, is grabbing the strap Elnor is tied down with and leans protectively over him as the ship shakes.

The walls behind them are stacked with transport crates secured with nets.

Picard: "… that haunt us…”

Shot 6 (00:11-00:12)

Shot through the sickbay skylight. Elnor is lying on a see-through sheet of plastic(??). Raffi is holding on to the restraints and the top corner of the table tightly. And is lying half on top of Elnor.

The light in sickbay is ominously Borg-green and there are boxes strewn all around the scuffed floor. [Same shot as Trailer 1]

Picard: "… all our lives.”

Shot 7 (00:12-00:13)

Agnes is running towards the front of the upper deck, setting her shirt-tails flying. Rios is sitting in the captain’s chair, though still without piloting controls. Steam and sparks are just starting to shoot from the ceiling. At the very back of the ship, the Borg Queen is tied to the engine, and all the lights in the latter half of the ship have turned green.

As Agnes runs towards the seat on the port side of the bridge, the light she just ran past turns from red to green. Seven and Picard are sitting at the tactical and ops consoles respectively, and are looking back at Agnes as she approaches.

Shot 8 (00:13-00:14)

Alt!Sirena emerges out of a swirl of white-blue light close to the surface of the sun.

Shot 9 (00:14)

Close-up of Agnes, looking astonished and scared, bathed in green light with the ship’s lights flashing behind her.

Picard: "Moments…”

Shot 10 (00:14-00:17)

Shot over alt!Sirena’s shoulder as she is flying perilously close to the surface of the sun, being blasted by arcs of heat and plasma.

Picard: "… upon which history…”

Shot 11 (00:17)

Focus on Picard, sitting at his seat on the bridge, lookinig ahead stoically as sparks fly around him and the ship shakes.

This is intercut with extremely brief glimpses of:

Picard: "… turns.”

Shot 12 (00:18)

What seems to be an astronaut in a 20th/21st century black and white snoopy cap is reaching a thickly gloved hand for a metal object hanging in the foreground of the shot. The astronaut’s face is out of focus and unrecognizable.

 Shot 13 (00:18)

Back to Picard on the bridge.

 Shot 14 (00:18)

A white-haired member of the Soong family is standing in a dark room (based on the pattern of shadows it could be the château conservatory at night). He is looking towards someone behind the camera with an almost evil grin.

Shot 15 (00:18)

Back to Picard.

Shot 16 (00:18)

Shot of the hands and a leg? of someone in a dark outfit that looks like a mix of catsuit and Elvish armour. They’re holding what looks like an Elvish blade in their right hand.

Blurry in the background might be one of alt!Sirena’s storage containers.

Shot 17 (00:19)

Back to Picard.

Shot 18 (00:19)

Close-up of Laris’s face. She has her Romulan ears and eyebrows. She is looking either very sad or very romantic. Picard is close to her and he’s reaching out for her face

Shot 19 (00:19)

Back to Picard.

Shot 20 (00:19)

The Borg Queen is being raised in her presentation arc past the railing at the centre of the totalitarian rally.

Shot 21 (00:19)

Back to Picard on the bridge, which fades to white.

  Scene 2 (Waking up in alt!La Barre, TN)

Shot 22 (00:21-00:24)

Close-up of Picard’s face in his dystopian black leather jacket, as he wakes up in the château conservatory. He looks around and then up in confusion.

 Q: “Well hello, my friend.”

Shot 23 (00:25)

Shot of the glass ceiling of the conservatory. The sky outside is fading from blue to orange in either sunrise or sunset. A grid of bright orange lines draws the large connected hexagonal shapes of the planetary forcefield across the sky.

Shot 24 (00:26)

Picard, in his black leather jacket, enters the château from a courtyard. Outside, it’s sunny, but inside the lamps are still burning.

Picard looks back at someone or something, looking confused and worried.

Picard: “What have you done?”

Scene 3 (Collection of shots, present, TN, and 2024)

Shot 29 (00:34-00:35)

Shot 30 (00:36-00:37)

Seven is standing in front of an opened metal wardrobe in someone’s quarters on La Sirena. She’s wearing her burgundy jacket and staring at a mirror that’s currently hidden from view. It’s difficult to guess whose clothes are hanging in the closet. The lights are flickering unsteadily. [Same shot as Trailer 2]

Agnes(?): “Do you have any…”

Shot 31 (00:37)

View over Seven’s shoulder at the hexagonal mirror. Seven looks critically at herself and touches her de-borged left eyebrow. [Same shot as Trailer 2]

Agnes(?): “… idea what’s… ?”

Shot 32 (00:37-00:38)

Two people in black tactical armour stand on top of a platform or wall, behind chest-high railing. They’re training their rifles on something nearer the ground and one of them fires a shot. The left eyes of their tactical helmets are red, the right ones white. [Same shot as Trailer 2]

Agnes(?): “… happening here?”

Shot 33 (00:38--00:39)

Elnor in his street clothes runs through some market stalls and clears an obstacle with a skilled jump as the display behind him explodes from a phaser blast. [Same shot as Trailer 2]

Seven: “Reality… [cut].”

Shot 34 (00:39-00:40)

A woman in blue Starfleet uniform is working on a console near the turbolift on the USS Stargazer. A figure is lying unmoving in the entrance of the turbolift. The ship is at red alert.

There’s an explosion in the wall behind the woman and she is thrown backwards against the wall.

Seven: “… has been broken.”

Shot 35 (00:40)

Shot of a corridor of the USS Stargazer. The lights are blinking a red alert as masses of sparks burst out of of wall and ceiling panels.

Shot 36 (00:41)

Agnes, wearing her blue blazer with a United Federation of Planets pin is standing on the bridge of the Stargazer. She whips around with a worried look as the panel behind her flickers. A thick black tentacle(? Data cable?) can just be seen taught across the front of the shot.

Shot 37 (00:41-00:42)

Seven wakes up in her bed in the totalitarian nightmare with a start. The left half of her face is hidden behind her hand on the pillow.

Shot 38 (00:42-00:44)

Scene 3 (Picard visits Guinan, TN)

Shot 39 (00:44-00:45)

Picard, wearing a black turtleneck and black coat, is walking down a back alley in what could conceivably pass as a 21st century US city.

Picard: “…a divergence.”

Shot 40 (00:45-00:46)

He looks up at a street sign, which informs us the street is called “Forward Avenue” in LA’s Historic District.

Picard: “I know someone…”

Shot 41 (00:46-00:47)

He enters through a set of open doors into a building. Above the doors, there’s a golden number 10 as a name for the bar.

Picard: “… who could help us…”

Shot 42 (00:47-00:49)

Picard walks through a seating area of a bar towards the counter. The bar is relatively empty. There are a few human-looking people and an Andorian in the back.

(For the many references to earlier Trek check out discussions on twitter and elsewhere)

Picard: “… understand the change in time.”

Shot 43 (00:51-00:55)

Guinan, wearing a purple robe and characteristic hat, is standing behind the bar with her back to Picard.

Guinan: “I’m gonna need some tea. Earl Grey. Piping hot.”

Shot 44 (00:56-00:59)

Picard spreads his arms wide, smiling at Guinan. She walks over to him and they hug.

Picard: “Hello, Guinan.”

Shot 45 (00:59-01:01)

Guinan pours Picard some alcohol. They’ve sat down at one of the bar’s low tables, and there is someone who might be a Romulan or Vulcan, standing in the background.

Guinan: “Your answers are not…”

Shot 46 (01:01-01:02)

Reverse shot of Picard, looking pensively at Guinan.

Guinan: “… in the stars.”

Shot 47 (01:02-01:03)

Close-up of Guinan

Guinan: “And they never have been.”

Dialogue in italics is voice over, dialogue that isn’t italicized is seen spoken on screen.

Where bits of dialogues have very clearly been cut together from different lines, I’ve indicated this by adding “[cut]”

The time codes refer to the versions of the trailers I have, your milage may vary.

My naming practices are not 100% consistent, though I did my best. I’m generally talking about the different settings of the show as

“Present” (2399-2400, when we meet our motley crew again after the events of Coppelius, at the beginning of episode 1);

“Totalitarian Nightmare” (The alternate version of the present Q throws the crew into. I’m usually referring to this as the dystopian or totalitarian present/clothes/Sanctuary Districts/whatever);

“Past” (2024, the past from the perspective of our heroes.)

I use “Sirena” and “alt!Sirena” somewhat interchangeably. Practically all of the shots of the ship in these trailers show the alternative version of the ship from the dystopian timeline, and where it’s orginial 2399 Sirena, I make that clear.

I focus so much on the clothing of the characters because that’s really helpful in grouping together shots, figuring out timelines, and trying to piece together which bits of the previews belong together. Bear with me.

Shot 12 (01:27-01:44)

Zoom in on a chess-table with two chairs. On the table is a deck of cards with the Queen of Hearts lying face up.

Shot 8 (00:13-00:14)

Reversed shot of a young boy (Picard?) in vest and cap, opening the doors to the conservatory, walking into its centre, and turning in circles staring up at the sky (windows?). The shot flickers and flips upside down and back again, as it accellarates.

Exterior of the château.

Q: “Do you recall what I said, Jean-Luc…”

Shot 10 (00:17-00:22)

Shot panning from close-up of Picard’s face to Q standing in the château in his black judge’s coat.

Q: “…when last we parted ways?”

Shot 11 (00:22-00:24)

Fade in from black on Q standing in front of Picard. He starts talking in voiceover, then it’s diegetic.

Q: “The trial never ends.”

Picard: “Q.”

 Shot 12 (00:25-00:28)

Probably different location in, or on the terrace of the château. Picard shakes his head in annoyance, telling Q off.

Picard: “I am way too old for your…”

Shot 13 (00:28-00:28)

Picard: “… bullshit.”

Q drowns out the end of the word with a snap of his fingers.

 Scene 3 (Collection of scenes, TN)

Shot 15 (00:32-00:33)

Elnor and two women are running away from something. Elnor is in his street clothes and their surroundings look like the futuristic sanctuary districts. The woman running behind Elnor might be Oh?

Rios: “Guys?”

Shot 16 (00:33-00:34)

Rios in his present-jacket is leaning on something (or kneeling) at the back of La Sirena’s upper deck. The engine lights have been partially disassembled, but they are blue, and the Borg Queen is not attached to them (anymore?).

Rios: “We have big problems.”

Shot 17 (00:34-00:36)

Picard, dressed in black, is looking over his shoulder with question and concern. Judging from the lights, he’s on Sirena.

Focus on Picard, standing stoically in front of one of the red banners.

Picard: “… our world…”

Picard: “… into a…”

Picard: “… totalitarian…”

Shot 26 (00:44)

Two people in black tactical armour stand on top of a platform or wall, behind chest-high railing. They’re training their rifles on something nearer the ground and one of them fires a shot. The left eyes of their tactical helmets are red, the right ones white.

Shot 27 (00:44-00:45)

Elnor in his street clothes runs through some market stalls and clears an obstacle with a skilled jump as the display behind him explodes from a phaser blast.

Picard: “… nightmare.”

Shot 28 (00:45)

Seven is standing in front of an opened metal wardrobe in someone’s quarters on La Sirena. She’s wearing her burgundy jacket and staring at a mirror that’s currently hidden from view. It’s difficult to guess whose clothes are hanging in the closet. The lights are flickering unsteadily.

Shot 29 (00:45-00:47)

View over Seven’s shoulder at the hexagonal mirror. Seven looks critically at herself and touches her de-borged left eyebrow. Then she drops her hand.

Seven: “Do you understand what this means?”

Raffi is wearing her dystopian coat, Picard his totalitarian jacket. Raffi is holding onto Elnor’s arm as they walk. Picard is talking with determination (dialogue fading in from voiceover in previous shot).

Picard: “I will get us home. Together.”

Scene 6 (Château, Totalitarian Nightmare)

Shot 33 (00:53-  00:54)

Picard, in his dystopian biker jacket, is standing in the château, staring at something off screen in concern.

Shot 34 (00:54-00:56)

Reverse shot, looking over Picard’s shoulder at a portrait of a younger Picard. Instead of the expected red and white TOS-movie-era uniform, the man in the portrait is wearing a black uniform with a grey collar, and the delta pinned to his chest is symmetrical.

Picard approaches the painting and touches it with awe or dread.

Picard: “The only way to heal our future…”

Scene 7 (Borg Queen lab, TN)

Shot 35 (00:56-00:58)

Looking over Picard’s shoulder at Seven, Raffi, Elnor, and Agnes standing in the Borg Queen lab.

Picard: “… is to go back and…”

Shot 36 (00:58)

Picard: “… repair the past.”

Shot 37 (01:00-01:02)

A door with a small window in it lifts upward with a pneumatic whoosh and release of mist. We’re looking out at the cluttered Borg Queen lab. Seven is standing closest to the door, Picard, Raffi, and Elnor stand behind her. Agnes cannot be seen.

Seven is breathing deeply and all of them look deeply concerned.

Picard: “There are…”

Shot 38 (01:02-01:03)

Picard is walking forward purposefully. Seven, over his right shoulder, is looking calm, Raffi, over his left shoulder, looks concerned, and Elnor looks like he’s reaching out for Raffi’s arm or hand.

Picard: “… ways of…”

Shot 39 (01:03-01:04)

Focus on Seven, who’s taking a few steps backward, looking scared.

Picard: “… traveling in time.”

Agnes: “Great.”

Elnor looks over at her.

Shot 42 (01:08-01:09)

Focus on Agnes. She glances towards the others, then looks back at Picard.

Agnes: “Now what?”

 Scene 8 (Time Travel on La Sirena)

Shot 43 (01:09-01:10)

Close-up of Picard’s(?) hand plugging a cable sparking green energy into the Borg Queen’s back.

Shot 44 (01:10-01:11)

Close-up on the queen, staring ahead with a sinister smile. Sirena’s engine light is glowing blue behind her shoulder. She jerks her head to the side.

Shot 45 (01:11-01:14)

Chaotic, overlaying images of the crew on the bridge of Sirena. The engine light in the background (with the Borg Queen strapped to it, though too out of focus to be visible) is glowing green. Sparks are flying and lights flashing as we see the faces overlayed with extreme close-ups of Picard, Rios, Raffi, and Seven, looking ahead in a mix of concern and astonishment.

La Sirena (in grey colouring) approaches Earth at speed. As she enters the atmosphere, she burns from the friction along the hull. Earth does not seem to have any significant orbital activity and there is no defense grid.

Picard: “to save…”

Shot 9 (00:06)

Picard, wearing his 2024 jacket, is sitting in the examination room (boxes of files locked behind grates), talking with purpose to someone off screen.

Picard: “…the entire galaxy.”

Shot 10 (00:07-00:08)

Elnor in his street clothes runs through some market stalls and clears an obstacle with a skilled jump as the display behind him explodes from a phaser blast.

Shot 11 (00:08-00:09)

Extreme close-up of a woman’s hands, holding the little blue vial Q gave Soong. Attached to the vial is a little yellow tag with the type-written label “Freedom”. The woman is wearing a knit white (or cream) jumper. (Soji??)

Seven: “Time…”

Shot 12 (00:09-00:10)

The Borg Queen is being lifted up by various cables in front of Sirena’s engine lights, her lower spine clearly visible. The light behind her is bright green. [In another trailer, it’s still blue in this shot.]

This is overlayed with a shot of Sirena in space. She hovers for a moment, then shoots off towards the sun in a streak of blue light.

Seven: “… has been broken.”

Shot 13 (00:11)

A man in what might be gardener’s clothing (short-sleeved shirt, apron or overall, straw hat) is pointing Picard up a set of stairs. The man’s eyes are completely white.

Picard is wearing his 2024 jacket and burgundy turtleneck.

Shot 14 (00:11-00:12)

Rios, presumably having just arrived in the totalitarian nightmare, is standing on the bridge of alt!Sirena. Outside the front window, a Vulcan ship is flying by, being pursued by other Kaplan F17’s (same model and now grey colour as La Sirena). The Vulcan ship is shooting at Sirena and as a shot hits the blue-flaring shields. Rios gets shaken and loses his footing.

Shot 15 (00:12)

Raffi and Seven are standing on some kind of metal walkway, unclear where exactly. Raffi is wearing her 2024 outfit and Seven is wearing her red leather jacket. They turn towards each other as Raffi speaks.

Raffi: “Not if we can help it.”

Shot 16 (00:12-00:13)

A shot of Raffi and Seven’s stolen cop car racing by (with Raffi looking out of the window in alarm) is spliced with a shot of Raffi in the car, screaming or shouting.

Shot 17 (00:13-00:14)

Seven, Picard, Raffi, and Elnor, wearing their dystopian clothes, beam into the Borg Queen lab.

Agnes(??): “Who are you?”

Shot 18 (00:15)

alt!Sirena is racing through space, evading phaser fire.

Shot 19 (00:15-00:16)

Seven, wearing her totalitarian blazer, is kneeling on the floor of alt!Sirena’s bridge. She fires a phaser (or disruptor) at a person in an evil!Starfleet uniform who is lying on the floor next to the railing to the lower deck, just about to get up again. As she is hit, the person disintegrates into red mist.

Shot 20 (00:16)

Rios is punching a man in a black leather jacket. They’re in what seems to be the Château conservatory during the day. Rios is wearing his 2024 jacket, and Picard, who is standing in the background, is in jeans and his 2024 jacket as well.

It’s difficult to tell, but the black-clad goon might have black veins on his face as well.

Shot 21 (00:16)

Elnor kicks a man in an Evil!Starfleet uniform. The man flies backwards into a glass wall. (This might take place on the set of the Artifact formerly known as Borg Cube?)

Shot 22 (00:17)

Rios, wearing a tux and black tie, is talking to someone with dark brown hair about a head shorter than him. We can only see the back of the other person’s head. (Could conceivably be Soji, though Soji gets shorter hair at some point during season 2.)

It’s difficult to say where they are, but blurry in the background are a wooden door frame and a door, yellow-painted walls, a large white objcet of unknown purpose hanging next to a door — it looks like a 2020’s room, maybe in the operational area of a event venue.

Shot 23 (00:17-00:18)

The detective/lawyer/? who goes on to interview Picard is standing in front of the metal table in the interview room. We cannot see his face, since the focus is on his hands. In one hand, he has a Manila envelope. In the other, he holds an evil!Starfleet delta badge. As he twists it in his fingers, it’s clear the badge has one line, which fits with Rios’s rank insignia.

There is a very 21st century coffee thermos mug on the table, and in the background, shelves of boxes are locked behind grates.

Shot 24 (00:18-00:19)

A shot of Sirena flying close to the surface of the sun and disappearing in a swirl of blue light is spliced with a shot of Agnes, wearing her red ball gown and black boots, running along a row of cars, jumping from one boot to another in great leaps. This is spliced with a shot of Q, in his black judges robe, walking purposefully towards Picard.

Shot 25 (00:20)

Shot from the interior of the prisoner transport bus. Raffi, in fingerless gloves, is standing in the opening door, pointing something at a person off screen as Seven pulls the door open wider. A blast of what looks like a transparent shockwave shoots from the device Raffi is holding.

Shot 26 (00:21)

Sirena evades a bunch of red torpedos being shot at her from opponents off screen behind her. She shoots a couple of green torpedos behind her, as red phaser fire is aimed towards her from off screen.

Picard: “You…”

Shot 27 (00:21)

Picard, in his totalitarian coat, is sitting at Sirena’s ops console, while Rios, in his leather jacket, is sitting in the captain’s chair but his pilot’s controls aren’t activated. Behind them, sparks rain down from the ceiling. The ship is bathed in a green-ish light and the engines are green, though it’s not clear if the Borg Queen is currently strapped to them.

Picard: “…really…”

Shot 28 (00:21-00:22)

Close-up of Seven, in her ranger jacket and still with her Borg implant, looking grim, perhaps engaged in a fight. She’s on the upper deck of La Sirena, which still has all her red detailing and red glow to the engine lights.

Picard: “…don’t…”

Shot 29 (00:22-00:23)

Seven tackles someone and together, they fall through the opening in the deck down onto a pallet lying in the middle of the walkway of the lower deck. The railing that should prevent such a fall seems to be missing in that particular section at the back of the cut-out.

Various cargo containers (different from the ones we’ve seen on Sirena when Rios was still captain) are standing on the glass floor tiles next to the lower-deck walkway.

Picard: “…understand…”

Shot 30 (00:23-00:24)

Close-up of Picard, wearing his tuxedo. He is talking to someone with white hair and beard (possibly Soong).

Picard: “… who you’re dealing with.”

Shot 31 (00:24)

Rios, in a grey Henley and handcuffs, elbows a policeman wearing a Department of Homeland Security tactical vest in the face. They’re in the back of a prisoner transport vehicle.

Shot 32 (00:25)

Several Starfleet officers are sprinting along a corridor on the USS Stargazer. There is smoke coming from the walls and the lights flas a red alert.

Shot 33 (00:25)

Agnes in her white dystopian shirt, with dirt on her face and in her hair, is looking up at the Borg Queen strung up on the engine. The Borg Queen reaches a hand for Agnes’s face.

Shot 34 (00:25-00:26)

Shot over alt!Sirena’s shoulder as she is flying perilously close to the surface of the sun, being blasted by arcs of heat and plasma.
