Stewart looks... tired. This isn’t encouraging.
About the caravan, nothing's been confirmed but the rumors are that the rescue operation referenced in the teaser was the evacuation of Romulus when their star went nova, as alluded to by Spock in Star Trek 2009.
About Stewart looking tired, the only other details they've given about the story is that something happened that affected Picard so deeply that he resigned his Starfleet commission and went back to work at his family's winery...potentially related to the rescue mission. Picard is supposed to be emotionally exhausted because he's evidently been through the wringer by the opening events of this new series.
The most obvious guess is that he did end up getting together with Beverly and she got killed during the rescue mission. Him having now been the presiding officer during missions that killed
both Jack Crusher (who was one of his best friends) and Beverly would probably be enough to send him into a spiraling depression. That and PStew's about to turn 79 soon.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.
And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996
