I'm not sure about this. When I attended Starfleet Academy, my Vulcan roommate said everyone sounded like they were from ShiKahr.

Well, 203 is the crew count that Pike first gave in "The Cage". And the secondary hull is mostly taken up by Engineering and the cargo and hangar bays. So the saucer has to not only house the crew in their gigantic quarters, but also contain all the science labs, recreational and training spaces, the brig, and Sickbay. I'd say 203 is about right.
I think they explained that she had first settled in Ireland but maybe that was a behind the scenes explanation.
Most jarring of all is the most Dublin of men Colm Meaney being cast as a Kerry person.
In one episode he says his parents are from Dublin, according to Memory-Alpha the shooting script says Killarney, so I wonder if Colm had it changed.
The security cam footage contained information that was classified. As were parts of the mission. But the mission itself self, transporting “livestock” to Lutani, was not. And the nature of the mission changed as events unfolded.
To be fair, he was cast as “conn officer.” Didn’t get a name or background until later.
That certainly wasn't onscreen. In the novels, it's suggested Laris did undercover work in Ireland during her Tal Shiar days, though that is also implied to be a joke.
Ha..as I was watching this episode and noticing the sheer amount of empty space in all the rooms they showed I said "no wonder the crew is so small."
Actually, I did. But when I think about it now I find it charming rather than jarring at all. Orla Brady
That Irish Vulcan, though...
Hmm, I hadn't watched the BTS stuff but the Picard: Countdown comic gave no indication of that. That being said, that comic can't really fit now anyway as Laris and Zhaban met in adulthood in that comic but were said to have met in childhood in the show (in an episode made after the comic was published)
Well, it's a comic. So...
Yes... It was shown in Star Trek: Prodigy.
Everyone was speaking different languages and we are just hearing English because of the Universal Translator.

I don't think it's ever explained how someone temporarily "turns off" the universal translator when they want to be heard in their own language. Is it a telepathic thing where they think hard for it to be turned off? Because we never see anyone say "Computer, deactivate my Universal Translator for the next 1 minute" or whatever before speaking in a non-English language.
I gave it an 8. It was a good, solid episode but not extraordinary. Some of the parts were a bit tedious where the interviews didn't add much. It actually reminds me of several old M*A*S*H episodes where they had a reporter interviewing the cast. The cast ad libbed many of their responses and those episodes were fairly effective.
I thought the answer to whether Starfleet was military or explorers was a good one.

Starfleet must use a different definition of "flagship" than modern (and older) navies. In the real world, a flagship is simply the ship that the commanding officer of a group of ships uses. It flies that officers flag--hence "flagship." It often will have special areas and features for coordinating a fleet.
By that definition, none of the Enterprises in ST are flagships.
Hence, Starfleet must use a different definition.
I wasn't perturbed by Beto asking the questions. After all, journalists are going to journal!
I was bugged that some of the lower officers were actually trying to answer those policy questions. In the real world, lower members of an organization are generally given specific instructions for how to handle media interview. One common instruction is to not speculate beyond "their paygrade" and to refer those types of questions to their superiors.
There goes the neighborhood!!
