My bad all round. I was reacting simply to the trailer, and my memory of finding out Deanna Troi naturally has an English accent - like it was some flaw which had to be airbrushed out.

Turns out we get a real Scotty in this film too - good old Obi Wan himself!
Silly for accents to bug me, when I loved Ewan as Alec Guinness and Tennant as an English Doctor.

Why do I hate America?

They didn't get Ewan McGregor for Scottie. They got Simon Pegg (the guy from Shawn of the Dead)

I seem to be living in a parallel universe these days. To the point I wonder if I'm narcoleptic.

Thank you, Radar. Pegg it is. An Englishman as a Scot. I'm beginning to get why they hate the English And yes, I'm going to see it. I sorta was before, honest...

You're all also forgetting that Yvonne Strahovski, the uber babe in Chuck is Australian. In fact she does such a great non-accent in the series that it seems odd when she uses her real speaking voice.

Not only is her character hot and dangerous, but also a nerd lover.
