I keep wibbeling about Vulcan too. I have to tell myself "it's an AU" over and over *L*
I'm even more wibbly over Amanda also . . . I love her. I mean okay she had little screen time in the the ToS series, but she was awesome.
Chekov's accent though. I love it. I'm horribly biased though as I adore Russian accents. I get what you are saying about playing it off as a joke though. Hah ha he can't speak English is a bit . . ethnocentirc in a bad way
Still I am glad it's there, and Scotty's. IMHO it helps that Scotty has an accent so Chekov is not the only one. I don't know, it's just nice to see that Starfleet is not a "perfect English Speakers only" club.
That and it doesn't seem that much different than all the accented people I can think of that I work with or that I ran into in College.
HOWEVER I agree, the Victor Victor joke was too much and it was a pretty cheap gag. I'd rather him have made a joke about Russian inventions (and have it clearly being a joke showing that no he's not actually a moron, it's a joke, that always bugged me in the old show and apparently bugged Gene too as there's a memo telling the writer's to knock it off).
But just as far as him having an accent goes (and Scotty) I like ^__^
