Oh agreed, though I don't think I'd have though Chekov's was played for laughs (I don't think Scotty's is so much) IF they'd left out the Victor Victor stupidity. I mean the rest of the time, he just has an accent like anyone does . . . heck my Texas accent is probably that thick ^^;;.
Sure, I'd have wondered why the heck the person who is the hardest to understand made the ship announcements, but whatever.
And you point about the Orion girl was spot on.
And one of my wibbles was when the Nero said "hello Christopher" and sounded like generic psychopath out of a law and Order. I man where the hell does a Romulan MINER get not only perfect English, but a particularly American infliction!
It's because they just don't care about Romulans the way they do Klingons :( But yeah the English there drove me nuts.
So yes agreed, more accents would have been nice. An less laughing.
