If it means bringing Dr. Pulaski back, then I'm all for it!
I think Picard should deal with the insanely racist episode of TNG season one, or the one where Crusher falls in love with a ghost. Those would be great to follow up on 25-30 years later.
The trailer looked fun and got me excited. That's what a trailer needs to do. It dealing with the Borg makes sense as that's popular, Seven, Data, Hugh, what the hell let's just have fun.

Maybe Data was only very recently fixed by Geordi & associates given the damage his body suffered and assuming he found some left over pieces of data along with using B4's backup of Data's memory.
Data 2.0 might be freshly booted up and still recovering from thinking it's right before the ST:Nemesis time frame or adjusting and stuck in the old uniform.
Geordi might be interacting with a holographic representation of Data as they fix Data's body.
For those saying we won't get deep cuts of Trek lore (especially Voyager lore), wasn't it Kirsten Beyer who developed the first pitch of the show that they presented to Stewart. Wouldn't her involvement argue that there will likely be many deep cuts for Trek and especially Voyager?
So many are speculating that the android in the drawer must be Data. Folks, Data was standing 3 feet from a fusion explosion that atomized a very large spacecraft. He was RIGHT NEXT to the explosion. That wouldn't just blow off his head and arms for Geordi to tape back on later. Data's sacrifice would be completely negated if he somehow miraculously survives. We MUST be seeing the B4. Spiner's comment about playing Data must refer to a hologram or an upgrade to the B4. Personally, I'm betting that Data is downloaded from the B4 into a holodeck of some kind because he has some vital info that Picard needs. That tech would have come a long way since the EMH and Vic Fontaine.
With this vastly improved holotech, I hope sentient hologram rights aren't a big issue in ST:P.

Perhaps Leah Brahms got pissed at him one time too many and swapped out her program for Data.
What is a little sad is the fact that Michael Piller is not with us anymore. He was the head writer for TNG, was a strong supporter of the way Gene Roddenberry wanted to tell stories through the Trek prism and had a very intimate understanding of the Picard character - AFAIK he wrote a lot of the Picard speeches for TNG. Seeing him involved would make me a lot more confident in the writers room for this show.
No.
Actually, we don't even know that for a fact, do we? Maybe it's Lore in that drawer.
Well, it's been a few days now but viewing the trailer is still astonishing. It was a great reveal... as an old fan, I feel well fed from this well crafted marketing.
I still remember how I felt when I recognized Seven of Nine and thought... holy shit they are not only using the TNG colors of the Trek palette, but presumably the whole spectrum of the TNG/DS9/VOY era. It makes so much sense for Picard and Seven to know each other... of course there will be an off-camera scene where Janeway introduces them shortly after the events of Endgame.
DS9 fans should be next in line expecting something this delicious to eat... so much they could do with a miniseries from any handful of characters, even without Avery being involved.
What floors me the most I how interested/invested I am already in the new Picard characters. I'm stoked to see old faces, but these new ones look promising too.
It's funny to see Picard in the command chair of what appears to be a huge cargo area/freighter bay behind him!
Didn't watch the panel, but read some comments that suggest that Spiner clarified that he is playing Data in the Picard series, with the B4 parts sitting there in the drawer. If anyone can verify this, please do.

I don't know anything about the new characters, but Alison Pil reminds me a little of Kristen Bell. I was speculating, jokingly, yesterday that Star Trek was The Good Place. 
Spiner said it was B4 in there.
Rumours are it’s lore, in the drawer, with the Borg remote control.
Fucked up game of cluedo
From the TV Line interview:
TV line interviewer: "We've gotten confirmation that your playing Data not B4."
Spiner: "Correct so, although, I think in that draw is B4, but I don't want to ... (shakes his hands in the air). But ya, no, Data is indeed on the show."
It could be Lore for 2 reasons though.
- We know Lore was disassembled, but we don't now if he was on the Ent-D when it blew up and saucer crashed in Generations, could be held at a Starbase some where for all we know.
- Also the android is the draw had dark marks on his chest (right shoulder blade and left breast are) that could be burn marks from when Data shot him is Decent Pt2.
IMO: I have always speculated since Nemesis that we knew B4 did not have enough positronic development to support Data's mind, but Lore does. Just wipe our Lores mind and down Data's memories from B4 to Lore's blank mind. That's probably not the case here, but it sounded like a good idea.
