Was it ever explained how a Romulan could be so Irish?
Did her family settle in Dublin after the supernova?
It’s time to harvest ye grapes ya fookin wank stain!
Her rescue transport had to make an unplanned pit stop at the Bringloidi colony.
“I hear you’re a Romulan now, Father!”
My lovely disruptor.
My lovely lovely lovely disruptor.
:D
Lots of planets have an Ireland.
It’s a space accent. Any resemblance to Irish is just a coincidence.
In much the same way some Romulans have ridges (Northerners) and others don’t, regional accents could develope. Why hers is so distinctly Irish you kinda have to just roll with.

So if she’s from the south are we talking Cork? Waterford maybe?

I liked the Doctor Who explanation for the 10th doctor’s accent.
Rose: “If you’re alien, why do you sound like you’re from the north?” 10th Doctor: “Lots of planets have a north!”
She’s ex Tal shiar.
They’ve been known to do ridiculous things to infiltrate places and kill people.
I assume the “southerners” are way more zealous and changed themselves to look not-romulan. (Vulcan and human are obvious choices)
She’s ex Tal shiar. They’ve been known to do ridiculous things to infiltrate places and kill people.
So she was Tal Shiar and needed to inflitrate Dublin?
Star fleet, sure.
And humans dominate Star fleet for some (out of universe) reason
Didn’t humans more or less form Starfleet and the Federation?
Along with andorians and tellurites and Vulcans, yes.
Now tell me how many andorians/vulcans/tellurites you see on the show? How many are named, recurring characters? Main characters?
You might have 1 main-character Vulcan and a few more recurring per show. Maybe a small handful of recurring andorians, here and there.
Well Vulcans more or less fucked off after humoring us with the Federation. Like they’re around but mostly do their own thing. And Starfleet is headquartered on earth so clearly more humans would be interested in joining. And are any other cultures in trek as fully post scarcity gay space utopia as humans are? I don’t actually know much of anything about andorians or tellurites though.
she spent her career on a D’Derrydex class warbird.
Just mind uncle Colm. Not Meany, the other one.
Why did Neelix have an American accent? Why do some Cardassians like Gul Dukat and Elim Garak have American accents and other Cardassians like Gul Madred have British accents?
Why does Picard, the most Frenchman, speak with such a posh British accent? ^^
That one was explained by the Picards moving to England at the start of WW2 and the first Picards to move back being Jean-Lucs parents
That one actually has an explanation. Apparently by the time of TNG, nobody actually speaks French anymore. Picard gets annoyed when Data describes French as an archaic language. Maybe the English language became the primary language of the European Union? It already is, to some extent.
Picard at least swears in French. He says ‘merde’ in The Last Outpost.
English is arcaic too. It must be your tv translator that got stuck in English instead of standard Esperanto.
In der Zukunft wird DEUTSCH gesprochen, damit das klar ist!!1!
I don’t now… All caracters have (almost) the same German accent to me… I guess your translator have some problems…
