I know it ended, but it comes off like they are pretending it never happened given how the federation reacted to the android terrorist attack.

There wasnt a single reference to DS9 the whole season was there?
Also how pointless giving him an exact replica [SPOILER - highlight to read]: android body Like at least give enhanced strength, or even eye hand coordination like Julian had. But nothing at all. Why?
And no final hug for [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Data after all that time? Really?
It's more like if the dominion war was the reason they changed it warrants a mention.
Also apparently the showrunner was going to mention it, but his co-workers told him not to because they felt it would confuse new fans from the series.

I'm glad that they didn't feel the need to fanservice every show in the franchise

"Since the dominion war the federation has changed, we suffered so many losses then and the attack on mars years later was the straw that broke the federations back" would have sufficed lol.
You don't even need to explain what it is. The original trilogy of star wars didn't tell you what the clone wars were all about.

I never said it needed it. Just that some of it, well done, would have been nice. I mean, the show itself is painting itself as a kind of fanservice by being about Picard himself. It would be hypocritical for them to claim they hate fanservice while making this very show.
That presumes any of them would give it that much thought.
The worst case scenario would be...people google the dominion war and maybe begin watching some DS9.

eh the hell with the Dominion war. so nobody mentioned it, big deal. I'd rather see a return of The Sisko. maybe they could finally conclude that plot line in season 2

The wormhole aliens, via their time manipulation, could have returned him one day after he left if they wanted.
They're dicks.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Finished it last night. Overall enjoyed it, but it wasn't great.
Picard [SPOILER - highlight to read]: should have been left dead, would have made for a more poignant ending.
Hope they make a show set in the 25th century (TNG is set in the 24th), give us something entirely new, no solid connections to previous shows. All new crew, ship and adventures.
