They may also be the same two who are wearing red glowing helmets, or that might be guards.Īnd at some point during this sequence, a door gets blown up. The party includes Burnham, Owosekun, and Rhys.ĭETAIL: Burnham’s programmable matter weapon can also be seen configured as a phaser rifle in the same location. Rayner seems to be having a good time, so maybe he isn’t a Vulcan and comes from the Romulan part of Ni’Var.Īnother location peppered throughout the trailer is a landing party in tactical gear working their way through some alien corridors. These cool bikes get used for a phaser-firing chase scene featuring both Captains Burnham and Rayner, so it’s likely on the same alien planet. They have been described as a Bonnie and Clyde-like duo and are likely after the same treasure.Īdding to the sense of adventure, there are a few shots of an alien speeder bike. This Vulcan (or Romulan) Starfleet captain played by Callum Keith Rennie has been described as “gruff.”Īlso in the market are new characters Moll (Eve Harlow) and L’ak (Elias Toufexis), former couriers who come into conflict with the crew. A key location that keeps coming up is an alien marketplace, possibly on a primitive planet.Ĭaptain Burnham can be seen going through the market, wearing local garb.Īlso spotted in the market is the new character Captain Rayner, also in local garb. Wilson Cruz has hyped how this season will take the show “to places we’ve never seen before,” and that shows in the trailer. There are a number of shots of an alien forest featuring ruins and an ancient statue.Ĭaptains Burnam and Saru can be seen approaching this ruin.ĭuring this away mission, Saru takes a tumble roll.Īnd Michael takes a leap onto the statute. These early quick shots also show Kovich on the bridge of the USS Discovery, so he may be joining the crew for some of this quest. We hear Kovich lay out what is at stake for Burnham as we cut to another scene between the two and he says, “The greatest treasure in the known galaxy is out there… what are you waiting for?”Ĭut to Burnham replying with her catchphrase, “Let’s fly.” Officially, season 5 of Discovery is about a quest that will send Captain Burnham and the crew of the USS Discovery “on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries.” The teaser kicks off with an establishing shot of the mysterious Kovich (David Cronenberg) with Michael Burnham on an alien planet.

The trailer is mostly quick cuts, but by putting our analysis caps on and taking what we can see in the context of what has been previously revealed and said about season 5, we can put some of the pieces together. While short and without much dialogue, it quickly gets across the message that this new season is part of a pivot to more adventure for the show. Even though production was (and still is) underway on the fifth season of Star Trek: Discovery, Paramount+ released a first-look teaser at New York Comic Con earlier this month.
