Also worth remembering that Jean-Luc is 15 years older than Patrick Stewart, so the character is about 94 in this episode.

But people in that century live to be 150, so should he look/feel that old?

I am so stupidly happy right now, I don't feel I can even do myself justice by properly explaining the show. So what I'll do is wait until I'm several shows in, and the hard, emotional fanboying has subsided, and I'll give it a go.
It's just made me so fucking happy. I am honestly surprised at myself at how hyped I was for this, and what an effect it had on me as soon as Sir Patrick Stewart showed up and starting just being Picard. It genuinely feels like the heartbeat and the human factor of the franchise is back. I didn't overly mind the movies and Discovery, but within 45 minutes that passed like 15 minutes, it felt like a huge chunk of Roddenberry's Trek has return.

My only criticism would be about starfleet being so earth centric, there are hundreds of planets in the federation, an evacuation of romulous shouldn't have been cancelled
because of an internal issue in Mars.
WHy wouldn't vulcan do more? It's not been blown up in this time line.

A *very* solid first episode. I was a little ambivalent about the whole thing given the distaste that Discovery left in my mouth but this is completely different and more like what I've been looking for for awhile. A lot of callbacks to the TNG era, but quite different. Not bad, just different. Which is fine.
Looking forward to where this is going over the next 9 episodes.

More specifically maybe the Romulan theme from Balance of Terror. Nice touch.

I mean idk about "cancelled" but evacuating a planet is just about impossible on any reasonable timescale. If Romulus had even just 1 billion people and you want to move them to a place 10 ly away, that's a one week roundtrip at warp 8. A Galaxy-class has maximum capacity for 15,000 people. You'd need about 17,000 ships the size of a Galaxy class, with no downtime, if you want to evacuate a planet with 1 billion people to a location 10ly away in a month.

I've read the first two issues of the Countdown: Picard comic and it's actually good and provides some useful background to the series (the identities of the two Romulans living with Picard for example.)
