Enjoying this series also.
Concerning the technology: while I can see it’s more advanced than the other shows as befitting the even further future setting, I do find myself wondering, is it 800 years more advanced? The personal transporters, gooey interface tech and segregated warp nacelles - these are all thing that I’d think would have been invented within a century or two of the last Star Trek prime line set films,etc. (To be fair, they did mention some ships had advanced biotechnology too, but we haven’t seen much of that yet, and I think there were alien cultures with that in past Star Trek series time periods.)
There’s that shifting matter thing too, where rooms configure and a floor grows in front of you as you enter a room, all very nifty, (and slightly unnerving, I’d imagine, considering what could happen if the system got hacked, or got a virus). Even that doesn’t seem too far away in technology when you consider replicators, transporters and physical interacting holograms. Some might say the holodecks were even beyond that in a way, since you could pretty much create anything almost instantly and physically interact with it, although I think it requires advanced force fields and projectors, etc.
Then I remember the Burn, which means there could be some major technological setbacks and catching up to do, so I guess that makes their current technological state a bit more plausible.
This doesn’t spoil my enjoyment of the show, but it does feel more like 2 centuries ahead at most rather than 8 or 9.
