It was okay but it should have been the Titan. Not some random ship.

I have a (typical Me and therefore typical Weird) question: Is Jean-Luc... fully functional? I mean he's an android now, so...? Asking for a friend, of course. 
Window viewscreens in 2399 going on 2400 don't bother me much. It's almost a century and a half after DSC. By now holograms and window viewscreens make more sense in-universe. I was more amused that Riker's Captain's chair was just a reuse and redress of the Discovery's. 
That I agree with, but the Titan is 20 years old at that point, and they wanted to use "the best, most advanced and toughest ship" Starfleet had ever built, which I understand when facing off against a Romulan armada of 218 ships. You're not going to use a 20 year old, outdated ship, you're going to use the newest and most powerful thing you've got.
Which, by the way, did those look like Avenger or Arbiter class ships from Star Trek Online?
Perhaps the USS TITAN was at the Mars Yards when the synths attacked and it was destroyed?
If I am remembering correctly, Will and Troi were apparently already retired when it happened.
Not quite. Thad was born in 2381, Mars was destroyed in 2385, Thad didn't get sick until he was a bit older. Probably about 10 or so, according to Chabon.
Not old enough to be out of service, but definitely old enough to not be up to fighting 218 Romulan warbirds.
Just shouts JJVerse to me. Rather they kept with the consistent Prime look.Window viewscreens in 2399 going on 2400 don't bother me much. It's almost a century and a half after DSC.

There's no such thing as a "consistent Prime look," sorry.
I agree with you on this, and I think it ended beautifully as the story it wanted to tell.
But.
1) I get the sense that Spiner wanted out of playing Data because Data never aged and Spiner clearly did. For me, this is a shame because I would have liked to see a different Data -- an old one permitted to age and change emotionally as well.
2) About the notion of assisted suicide. I'm for it where necessary (recent real life experience with cancer in my family has informed my view here), but in Data it didn't need to be so. He could have learned to be more human still, and, one day, a thousand years from now, when he'd evolved to be indistinguishable from any human, or perhaps in just twenty when Spiner would soon pass, Data could have chosen to experience death then instead. Or he could have grown beyond his interest in humanity and lived a million years as countless different beings and forms and then perished, or not. ...oh never mind. I'm just going to miss Data. And his silly human hang-up.
Prime always had viewscreens for the bridge.
Data felt emotion in his final moments of existence and got to cry one last time. It was such a heartwrenching but beautiful moment.

I guess the #NotMyPicard Crowd will technically have a point now.
The Constitution and Miranda-Class ships were regularly featured during the Dominion War. I assume many ships from from the TNG-era (Galaxy, Intreprid, Sovereign Classes) are still part of the late 24th century Starfleet...
Until DISCOVERY showed that they didn't.
So like is it supposed to be just one big Jesus metaphor?
