So one of the biggest points they make in that trailer seems to be we're supposed to know who the mystery girl is. I've seen all of TNG and DS9 and my only theories are...vague, but the way it's presented makes it seem it should be obvious. Am I a fucking dunderhead?
I suspect it's Data's daughter reactivated via 20 years of further development of cybernetics and possibly some borg tech.
Yeah, my knee jerk reaction was Picard’s daughter somehow but once I pondered a bit, I started thinking it’s Lal
I will brook no insult against the man responsible for the single greatest sequence of events in the history of film, and possibly the history of fiction itself.
as for why picard didn't just ask the computer to materialize a machine gun, there is a perfectly logical explanation, and that is that if he did that there wouldn't be a scene with the Borg showing up in the middle of a gangster movie
also it's been confirmed that Troi and Riker are in the series too

While not Picard related, they have made a series of shorts starring Pike, Number One, and Spock from Discovery on the Enterprise. They look fun and I'd like a whole series with these guys. Also H Jon Benjamin is in one with tribbles.

I think given Datas involvement you can make a guess or two but nothing concrete so dont worry about it
Are you suggesting (speculation spoiler)
that the mystery girl is data's daughter, Lal
that after that incredibly heartbreaking episode about his fight over her fate with Starfleet — in which he could not save her from cognitive degeneration and a kind of death — that after that episode, he somehow kept records or a copy of her mind, and she was reassembled or otherwise reconstituted
say, by a now-old positronic brain specialist who learned to respect Data and call him by the correct pronoun in one of the best episodes of the show
Is this going to be a series-long exploration of Measure of a Man and Lal

how dare you get my hopes up
If I remember right
Data downloaded all of her memories and other such things into his own positronic brain, so that she would always live on in him
so it's entirely possible that whatever was done to bring Data back allowed her to be created anew as well

Well, there's also that big Borg cube at the end of the trailer and Data was once part of the collective so Lal could have gotten in there through various shenanigans. Also, I think I saw somewhere that the actor who played Hugh is going to be a part of this show, so....that's...something? Lost where I was going with this, I guess.

Of course I’m the weirdo who loved the finale of Enterprise having TNG Riker and Troi in it despite them both looking too old.
also it's been confirmed that Troi and Riker are in the series too

I was talking about the side character who showed up for the trial, the dude
There's to many awful people in Starfleet
