Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"

All presumed dream sequences we've seen harken back to TNG: Picard and Data's uniforms in the field painting scene, Data's uniform in the poker scene, even the freakin' tea cups in that scene are those used by Picard in TNG!
Actually, in the poker scene, Data seems to be wearing the First Contact onward era uniform.
 
Occam's Razor again...why would Picard, presumably in a dream sequence / flashback, be sitting in a room that looks exactly like Ten Forward that isn't Ten Forward?
 
One thing is killing my eyes. "Children of Mars" is lined between end of Nemesis and end of that century. We all know that okudagrams - LCARS were part of Federation from starship systems to school systems and interfaces. Well I noticed in trailer "Children of Mars" that there are no LCARS-i and sorry I can't forgive that. This looks like Discovery-TOSEnterprise era interface, and that is not possible and has no logic.

24th century United Federation of Planets has one trademark, and one trademark only. That trademark is LCARS.

Why did they do this? #disappointed

Probably because neither of the Okuda's are working on this show.
:shrug:

Because it wouldn't make sense for him to be in Ten Forward during an event that took place nearly 2 decades after the Enterprise D was destroyed.

it's not a starfleet facility
 
Not in reality, but this is a TV show and I doubt they're going to want to confuse people by mixing up eras like that.
Casual viewers wouldn't give a crap. It's a familiar setting.

Symbolically, having a drink in Ten Forward could represent his professional comfort zone as captain of the Ent-D. Then it segues to the Mars incident, which shatters his comfort zone.

When you get down to it, LCARS is ridiculously outdated compared to operating systems of today.
Do dreams have to make sense?
What I dreamt last night certainly didn't.
Could Dahj be one of the kids at that school?
Assuming she's the same age as the actress (20), she'd probably be too young. The kids seems to be in the 12-15 age range, and with this being 15 years prior to Picard the series, Dahj would only be 5 or so.

I do wonder if we'll be seeing either of the two girls this Short Trek is focusing on as grown adults in the series though.

Could be, I guess.

I don’t understand why you need everything to be exactly the same. The simplest explanation is the classroom is not a Starfleet installation. It could be a completely civilian school. It seems utterly reasonable that they would have a different operating system.
