Patrick Stewart's "r"s have interested me for years, as a former linguistics student.  The salient feature of upper-class British accents is what's known as "post-vocalic r-deletion" (i.e., dropping the "r" sound in certain words).

This is just a wild guess, but I'd estimate the incidence of Monty Python fandom is near 100% amongst Trek fans.  So Zack may not be able to shake us off so easily after all…   bwah ha ha.
