The NCC-1701 lasted 40 years and only went out of existence because she was blown up over the Genesis Planet.

I don’t consider that.Until DISCOVERY showed that they didn't.
Bathroom.
But those viewscreens changed over time, we flirted with holocommunicators, and now 30 years later, things are different.
Because in real life, no show in 2020 is going to copy the visual aesthetics of a show from 1966 or 1994.
What they're doing is not wrong. It's different. You don't like it. That's fine. But if you're focused on the tech, on the look, then you're missing the point of the characters and the story, and I pity you.
Doesn't change the fact though.I don’t consider that.
As with everything TREK, things change, and that's an undeniable fact.
Heck, the Enterprise-E had a flat wall that projected a viewscreen onto its surface. The 1701-E viewscreen may well have been a holographic viewscreen and that's way more advanced than anything else we've seen so far.
I knew there was gonna be screeching about this episode. I knew it.
Hell, I might have screeched a bit, too, if the episode had ended right after all the ships warped away, but Chabon delivered in the end. This season was bookended perfectly. It really was about Picard and Data the whole time, as it should have been.
I kinda wish that they hadn't shown any Starfleet ships, though, 'cause they were ugly as fuck--and now they're canon.
I love that Chabon simultaneously confirmed both Seven and Raffi's orientations without anyone ever having to say a word. That'll rile up the Anti-"SJW" crowd aplenty.
The fight between Seven and Narissa was cliched bullshit, and the choreography was ridiculously underwhelming, but Narissa dying in the end was worth it. Good-fucking-riddance.
Also, I love that the Borg cube is right where it belongs--in a watery grave. May we never see another active one during the whole run of PIC.
I would say 9/10 but...
... so I'll have to round up to 10/10.
(More thoughts to come. Possibly.)

Based on Chabon's behind-the-scenes info, it could have been as late as five or six years after the attack. Thad was around 10 when he got sick, according to Chabon, which would have been 2391-ish.
I still don't have the whole timeline straight in my head.
It is more than a bit confusing at times with all the jumping around.
I'll get it eventually, just takes this old mind a bit longer to all sink in.
I agree. Chabon is right that stardates are meaningless and don't provide any information. But it is silly to assume a Federation of planets would use the Earth Gregorian calendar.
At least they didn’t show the E with one. That would have been blasphemous.
Because a refit couldn't have happened in the last 20 years?
The Cage Enterprise had a bridge window
You mean above? So did the D.
I guess the #NotMyPicard Crowd will technically have a point now.
That doesn't answer my question tho.
I am always concerned about the REALLY important things. I need to know the fully functional thing. It's... umm... for science.
That's ok. I just have a brain that automatically sorts, files, and cross-references those kinds of useless facts without me even trying (or wanting) to.
2370 - "All Good Things"
2379 - Nemesis
2381 - Thad Riker born.
2385 - Synths destroy Mars
circa 2391- Thad Riker gets sick, Will and Deanna leave the fleet.
2399 - Picard season one.
I think many folks believe that the rectangle on the front of the bridge module was a window of some kind.
At least as best as could be shown in 1966.
It's a given. It's all noise to me now.
