Exactly. It smacks of gatekeeping.

Screw Trekyards, I want to know what James Dixon thinks of Lower Decks!
Yes, we need the master with over 30+ years of studying Treknology to weigh in.
Do we really?
Yes.
I'd rather dive headfirst into the deep end of an empty pool.
Definitely look new to me.
The two at the bottom right definitely look Gorn to me, but the one on the left, not so much. Might be a youngster.
As for the two women, I'd say possibly Vulcan or more likely Romulan. The neutral facial expression with the arched eyebrow on the one on the right makes me think Vulcan, but the rather angry look on the left seems more Romulan, so I guess I'm going with that for both. Twin Romulan sisters with different hair color. Interesting how they went with purple and yellow there - complimentary colors - may be an indication of their personalities as well.

Somehow I don't think they're either Vulcans or Romulans, because looking at the trailer again, I noticed we actually do get so see both. And neither looks purple-ish.
Maybe Boimler is on the Holodeck there?
I thought of that, but then again they recently showed the new chief engineer (Lt. Commander Andy Billups) , who is ostensibly human, yet has a distinctively lavender hue to his Jeff Foxworthy visage, compared to other lighter-toned crew-members like Ensign Boimler (who always seems to have a rather unpleasant look on his face):Somehow I don't think they're either Vulcans or Romulans, because looking at the trailer again, I noticed we actually do get so see both. And neither looks purple-ish.
This may be a tip-of-the-hat to TAS, which insisted on making lots of random things pink and purple for no realistic reason, like Klingon uniforms and Kzinti starships (and pale blue Orion males).
Either that, or both the female aliens and Billups are dangerously anemic/hypoxic.

Ooh, A Salt Vampire.
and I think the alien top left might be intended to be a Suliban?
Possibly. Has an abnormally large head for a Suliban - maybe a Suliban-Talosian hybrid? 
Also a humpback whale, a Romulan, a Cardassian female, 2 Klingon females that look a lot like Lursor and B'etor (even though they should be dead by now). The photo of the two identical-looking women on a transporter pad looks like one of the many transporter accidents that's plagued Trek over the decades. The photo of Bigfoot and thread lines between all these pics implies that Ensign Mariner is a seasoned conspiracy theorist. That one pic on the lower right looks suspiciously like the stereotypical Coronovirus pics we've all seen on the news.

I actually spent a few minutes staring at that wondering "is that a Talosian or a Suliban?"Other observations: Pictire 17, Lt. Shaxs looking pissed off with a bunch of other goldshirts staring at him in some sort of command centre looking room. I'm guessing this is the ship's security monitoring centre, which I guess the show is treating like some sort of shipboard police station? Cool idea, it kind of bothered me we never saw what goes into ship security in the other shows besides having the security chief manning the tactical station on the bridge and having security officers hanging around the brig or standing guard as needed around the ship.
And Picture 27, a Ferengi!
