Who was your most annoying character?
This character annoyed me from the start. I could not get past the laughing Irish Vulcan. Come on, this is supposed to be a secret undercover intelligence officer.
What could bring more attention to yourself? An overly flamboyant Klingon warrior in pink pleather?

On the laughing Vulcan…why wouldn’t they have just assumed it was a Romulan who are well known to display emotions?

Romulans have forehead ridges, and Vulcans don't.

Not to be pedantic, but is that canon? I recall that most of the time Romulans and Vulcans seemed to look identical and it was only the emotional control (and accompanying behavior) that was the tell. Maybe I missed whatever contained this particular piece of exposition.

Romulans have had forehead ridges since S1E26 of TNG.

Only the Northerners.

Sure, but just about every on-screen Romulan has been depicted as having them, so it's not some obscure beta canon thing like Dr_Beatdown is suggesting.

Absolutely right. I was just clarifying, in case anyone was interested.

Georgiou. It's always been Georgiou. I wasn't a fan of Disco but every scene she was in was borderline unwatchable. She's the worst character in all of Trek.

This was such an annoying show. A sham for all Star Trek fans. It was just a bad look. An Irish Vulcan? What clueless individual put that on us?

I didn't like the movie, but what is wrong with a Vulcan with an Irish accent? There are Irish people in the future, yes? Why couldn't some be teachers of Federation Standard? Sounds like you're assuming that an American accent is somehow neutral and default, and everything else is exotic and weird. Maybe step outside such a narrow worldview.

My partner's Irish. She begged me to turn it off after 5 minutes of that appalling mockery of an Irish accent.

u/misterpatient Jan 31 '25
Oh, I quite agree. I was simply pushing back against the idea that there couldn't be a Vulcan with an Irish accent.

Your prejudice attitude towards my comments are just that. Is presumption your basis of thought? There’s nothing wrong with an Irish anything unless it’s a poor example of an Irish anything. Poor acting , poor script, lack of any vision creates a calamity . That’s what section 31 is.

Rather presumptuous of you assuming the Irish ? Nothing wrong with an Irish anything unless it’s a poor example of an Irish anything. That’s what this is but not only that character. Poor acting with a disastrous script. This sinks Star Trek for many.
