With Paramount+'s Star Trek: Picard kicking off its final run on February 16th, here's a look at the official trailer for the third season. In what we're pretty sure will be foreshadowing for how we handle FOX's Super Bowl LVII, our focus during CBS's NFL AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals really didn't have a whole lot to do with the actual game.

But you can't have a Super Bowl without knowing who's competing, so tonight's playoff game was highlighted by the release of the official trailer (along with some very cool new key art) for the third & final season of Paramount+'s Sir Patrick Stewart-starring Star Trek: Picard. And without giving too much away, let's just say that it feels like this season will have a little something for every "Star Trek" fan to appreciate. So think "epic"…
