We’re just a few weeks away now from the arrival of Star Trek: Picard after nearly a year and a half of waiting, but thanks to a few new videos released over the last week, we have some more imagery to obsess over as we count down the final days to January 23.

First up: a new trailer for “Children of Mars,” the final Short Trek release of the season, which is the first entry in the short-form series to tie into Star Trek: Picard.

In addition to what looks like a yellow-painted Discovery-type shuttlecraft serving as a 24th Century school bus, this tale – centering around a pair of schoolmates during some sort of tragic event — arrives on CBS All Access (and the various Canadian viewing sources) on January 9.

(At this time, there’s still no word if or when it will become available outside of North America.)

A pair of new Star Trek: Picard commercials have also beamed down over this past week, though not officially released online by CBS as of this writing. Thanks to a fan YouTube account, these new promos captured from television broadcasts include a few new images, including our first good look at the new Starfleet combadge design in action, worn by actor Tamlyn Tomita, who is portraying a Vulcan (or Romulan?) officer.

We also see brief glimpses of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Dahj (Isa Briones) traveling with a young girl in medieval costume — some online discussion speculates this may be the daughter of Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), heard shouting in October’s NYCC trailer — as well as additional looks at Dr. Jurati (Alison Pill) and Romulan swordsman Elnor (Evan Evagora).

There’s also a quick flash of Data (Brent Spiner), in what seems to be a near-Nemesis appearance, which is a significant improvement on his presentation first seen in the mid-summer San Diego Comic Con trailer (which we’ve heard was urgently put together for the SDCC deadline).

Finally, two web promos featuring Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) and Narek (Harry Treadaway) have also appeared over recent days, counting down the remaining weeks before launch.
