I just saw the second trailer for Star Trek: Picard and I have one question: What’s with the communicator that Cristobal Rios is wearing?
It looks like many of the major characters are back from the first season. Picard is shown wearing an admiral’s uniform. 7 of 9 is shown without her implants. We even see Agnes Jurati, although it’s not clear what her fate is. And then, there’s the addition of Q. Of course, we knew that from the first trailer.
The one scene that I’m talking about is Rios standing on his ship. He has a Starfleet communicator, but one thing sticks out for me. It has what appears to be the hilt of a sword or dagger. We know that there’s supposed to be some aspect of time travel. Q even says something about “the very end of the road not taken.”
Now, this might be a callback to Tapestry, in which Picard saw what his life was like without his artificial heart. Of course, Picard was only a lieutenant in that episode and here, he would seem to be in charge of Starfleet. (I count four pips inside the rectangle.)
However, the dagger would imply that the second season might be visiting The Mirror Universe, even if briefly. There’s also the voiceover saying that time is broken. Maybe elements of several timelines have converged, but I haven’t seen anyone else comment on the dagger. I just wanted to put that out there for anyone who might have picked up on it.
