I've found that Irish Ladies are beautiful well into their 70's and 80's.
(I'm just a bit prejudice in that area, being Irish myself and having an Irish Lass as my Significant Other)

This. I would hope by the 24th century, humans work with each other because they want to (out of loyalty, duty, honor, love, whatever) rather than because they have to (due to circumstances, inequality, etc).
I did not read the comics, but as I understand it they were involved in that mission Picard went on.
Perhaps they serve him out of a sense of loyalty for what he did there?
These Romulans seem to have a genuine heartfelt love and affection for Picard for what he tried to do to save their people. "Unification, Parts I and II(TNG)" did show that most Romulans were normal people who just wanted to live their lives in peace and yearned to connect to the outside galaxy so this is nothing new, just the first time friendly and pleasant Romulans have been seen on Earth.
It's been a continuing trend over the course of ST, that since Spock championed reunification, that Romulans are depicted as good people generally.
They've historically been an allegory to a cold war enemy, but star star trek has done a lot of work towards trying to humanize enemies. Undiscovered Country, Nemesis, etc.
I really like that idea and it's what we really need today.
I am sure that the attack of the androids on Mars was orchestrated by section 31 so that the Romulans are destroyed, after all they only care to protect the federation and destroy the oldest enemy would be something they would do
Well, Orla Brady is nearly 60, I'm sure Laris is closer to 160.
No you aren't the only person that liked the scene. Also, I've watched reporters do EXACTLY what she did IRL - so yeah, I don't get the: "No reporter acts like that in the 21st or 24th century..." line some are touting.
If someone wants to figure out how/why humans on Earth don't act the way Picard's crew did on the 1701-D, as Captain of the Flagship, he probably got to hand pick most of his crew so (first bto seasons aside where the writers room was in such turmoil they didn't get a real handle on most of the characters), he obviously read many an applicant's Service record and psych profile and ONLY picked people who pretty much thought the way he did at the time (Except for Worf...I think Star Fleet dumped Work on him -- and he sure dressed down Worf verbally any time Worf did anything uniquely or remotely Klingon that didn't jibe with Picard's personal Worldview)...
So yeah, TLDR version the crew of the 1701-D WASN'T really representative of your garden variety Earth human of the 24th century.

Good overall. As was the first ep of DSC, which I don't think Ill watch this season.
I don't like mysteries. "Who was Dhaj? Wha t's going on?"
Like the last star wars trilogy. I just have never liked them. Are all scifi franchises th is way? I watch so little. BSG was serialized. I never watched it. Was each season a big puzzle/mystery?

So what year is it supposed to be? Is it still the 24th century or is it now.the 25th?
It is a bit unclear whether it is 2397 or 2399. I offer 2398 as a compromise solution!
2399.
2399
It varies from show to show, but, yeah, TV shows have been more serialized in general since the 1990s at least. See Babylon-5, Farscape, The X-Files, Buffy, Lost, etc. And secret agendas, mysteries, surprise revelations, and such tend to come with the territory.
"What is that mysterious new character really up to?"
As someone mentioned earlier Picard seems to have a 3 part premiere episode, kind of like Discovery. In case of Discovery the 3rd episode initially was intended to be the premiere episode and then they decided to do the initial 2 parts to show the mutiny instead of using flashbacks throughout the season. Picard seems to be a 3 part premier too, as they did show 3 episodes during the Hollywood premier event. So I expect he will assemble his new crew and ready to start his mission (find and protect Soji?) in the next couple of episodes.
That logo has been part of the Air Force Space Command before the Space Force. Let's not get ahead of ourselves here.All that said about relating to "enemies" and now USA has a Space Force with a logo lifted straight outta ST.....JFC
We'll almost certainly see Seven, Riker and Troi by the first week of February at the latest.
