Genuine lolz. I love that.
So good to see Tuvok again, even if he was a changeling. Voyager is still very much bottom tier Trek for me, but Tim Russ was a highlight.
I didn’t buy into either of them ready to commit murder, it is completely out of character for these two, but i guess we’re in dark and gritty Trek world now… 
Wait, what?
Ok, this ain’t no spoilers. I should have read the cast list earlier.
Vadic is Kang’s daughter? Whoa. Also, she’ll execute every motherfucking last one of them!
And LaForge’s daughter is LeVar’s daughter. And auditioned without him knowing.
To be clear, Alandra LaForge is played by his real-life daughter. The actor playing Sydney LaForge is not related to him.
Colm Meaney discovering how much Michael Dorn had to go through in make up:
Look at me nails!
Linked at the end…
In Dublin we speak the best spoken English in the world
Is that gonna cause a fight?
Also…
It’s interesting that Rick Berman told him to use his own accent. One of the things that made me go “yes” to Strange New Worlds was somebody (the doctor) speaking English with a Nigerian accent. It’s a kind of accent I hear all the time, by the end of this century Nigeria will be the most populous English speaking country on the planet, and yet you really do not hear accents like that on US television shows.
Or maybe you do, just not the shows I’d see.
I just got the DVDs of the first season and am looking forward to it… I think that such details like that reflect the idealism of cultural pluralism that Trek always strive for…
Not that much, no, sadly. It’s a good point that probably lots of people don’t think about. Generally speaking we hear the same 4 or 5 kinds of English accents on American TV and I’d love to see greater diversity…
I’m glad that Trek is continuing to push the boundaries of representation in a variety of ways, including linguistic/accents.
Had the cassingle of this back in the day. 
Happy First Contact Day!
Hug a Vulcan!
