I mean, aside from Ira Behr's weird idea the Bajorans would have to give up their religion, there's no reason for the Bajorans not to join the Federation post-Dominion War.
I will say it's disappointing to see these developments pan out as background easter eggs rather than as significant story points, particularly since this kind of worldbuilding has been abandoned for "cataclysmic event of the month." On its own, these types of season-long arcs aren't a terrible thing, but you can only "raise the stakes" so many times before it becomes exhausting.
Yes there is, You can see the curved corner UI peices and everything. they're white/grey like they were in the Admiral's office in Season 1.
And here's some examples to compare to from the artist who designed the Season 1 LCARS screens

It does when it matches the LCARS we've already seen in the series.
Another indication that it's a 2399 Starfleet interface is that it uses the color palette Jarvis posted on Twitter a while back. Matalas' photo is a bit warmer but seems clear the actual graphic is using this:
I'm working on some Picard-era graphics, so very much thx for the palette. Do you have any links to the other Picard palettes (in particular the dark teal) ? thx.
Sorry, this is the only one I've seen @Paul B. Hartzog, but I hope you'll consider posting your graphics in Fan Art when you're done!
So good to see Q again.
Him and Picard interacting in the TNG series were some of the scenes in the show.

Q was one of my favourite TNG characters.
I wouldn't say malicious either but definitely arrogance. There was a feeling of "Star Trek is boring and stuffy and super cool bad boy JJ is gonna save it from itself"
Idea love to see him work more with other people as I like his Star Wars and he certainly brought energy and brevity to Trek but he needed a sci-fi pedant next to him to keep certain in universe rules in check
Yeah, I think his words got twisted. I've read follow up where he explained his process of getting to know the franchise and if thats arrogance then I don't know what else to say.
Could also be called getting chastised and backtracking
Well, without having the quote in front of me I'll just stay with my giving him the benefit of the doubt.
As someone who used to be a massive JJ fanboy, (Cloverfield is still amazing, best viral marketing leadup ever as well and first 2 seasons of Lost were revolutionary television) yeah, I agree.
I actually don't think JJ particularly cares about much he works on, he's a guy who has a formula that can pretty much turn anything into a cash cow. It's great at turning off your brain, then prodding the nostalgia member-berries and setting up a mysterybox for all the millions of speculation youtube vids and articles pointing out random easter-eggs that could totally be the mystery he obviously in hindsight skimmed from Memory Alpha or Wookiepedia or whatever.
What's weird is I'm pretty sure I remember reading him outright admit all this stuff. Like Lost, he had no plan at all, he straight up admits he doesn't care about what's actually in the mystery box, that initial setup is all he needs to do.
I still think 2009 is still one of the most enjoyable Trek movies despite making no sense (I have a photo of me soy facing at the premier and damn I went and saw that film like 4 times in the cinema) but JJ was absolutely the wrong guy to get to reboot Star Trek and I'm still very heavily in the seat that this new era of Trek has largely been a complete disaster and write off in terms of actual anything with value or endearment, the only positive I have to say is S2 of Lower Decks is inoffensive if you just ignore it's supposed to be 100% taken seriously as canon. I would actually at this point argue, give whoever the hell is doing Lower Decks complete control over Trek because Lower Decks at least feels like it's in the Trek universe in tone and feel.
Watching For All Mankind makes me sad though, shows what Nu-Trek could have been if any of the execs at CBS had a working brain cell between their heads and got Moore to Showrun Trek. That show honestly at points had me picturing Kira and Sisko or Odo having the conversations that were happening. Extremely well written drama, actually likeable and well written characters, great teamwork, amazing worldbuilding, great morality plays, hard-sci fi. It honestly feels like what DS9 would be like if that show was greenlit today.
ignore the canon talk is exactly what I do and I love LD
I love this new era of Star Trek. I love the creative freedom that Kurtzman has given his creators -- Star Trek is no longer trapped in this live action Realist-Naturalist episodic 1-hour-with-commercials network broadcast space cop drama format it's been trapped in for most of its history. DIS and PIC are heavily serialized; PIC is a show about a group of civilians and a retiree; LD and PRO are both animated; LD is an adult animation comedy, PRO is a children's adventure show; SNW will be episodic, so we're gonna get that flavor back in addition to all the others... Love it. To my mind, some of ST's greatest episodes have been produced in this new era, including "The Vulcan Hello," "Battle at the Binary Stars," "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad," "Will You Take My Hand?," "Brother," "An Obol for Charon," "The Sound of Thunder," "If Memory Serves," "People of Earth," "Forget Me Not," "Remembrance," "Absolute Candor," "Stardust City Rag," "Nepenthe," "Et in Arcadia Ego, Parts I & II," "Much Ado About Boimler," "Crisis Point," "No Small Parts," "An Embarrassment of Dooplers," "Where Pleasant Fountains Lie," "wej Duj," and "First First Contact."
