Season 5 trailer of Lower Decks is online.
Harry Kim finally gets a promotion! At least... what appears to be a Harry Kim from at least one universe.

That is wonderful. Amazing what they can do with CGI and prosthetics. The original series is still my favorite, and the Kirk, Spock and McCoy friendship is the core of that show. Revisiting Kirk and Spock like this was pretty darn emotional. I've been a fan almost all my life. Always good to see these old friends again.
I'm not quite sure what some of the vignettes signified, but it looks like Gary Mitchell allowed Kirk to go spend time with Spock as Spock is dying. A gift for his old friend perhaps? I like to think so.

Re: Star Trek
The prosthetics and digital work is exceptional.
I like the detail of showing the Daystrom Institute graphic that showed they had Kirk's body, since that was one of the Easter eggs in season 3 of Picard... Which didn't sit right with me when that seems like a pretty major development to have Kirk's body in storage of a top secret facility with no explanations or follow-up. Good on the creators of this short for giving that some purpose.
I agree it looks like Gary Mitchell is giving Kirk a gift. I'm assume they show him as a means to explain how Kirk is alive at any rate.
I'm curious who all the people in the garden are and why they're there. Saavik (Robin Curtis) of course, and the alien in TNG uniform are the only two I recognize. The alien is from Discovery, which they introduced simply to explain what was happening to Georgiou, as someone who crossed universes and then time traveled in a universe that wasn't their own. Looks like he appears here in order to send Kirk to the Kelvin universe to see Spock.
Not really sure what the point of the water hallway with the three versions of Kirk was. It sorta reminds me of the time travel sequence in The Voyage Home, so maybe it just represents his traveling between universes.
Even with no dialog, I have to say, I liked this short more than what a lot of the nuTrek shows. This is just excellent.
