Majel Roddenberry dies.
on: December 19, 2008, 05:21:18 am
Any Trek fans on the forums will know her as Nurse Chapel (TOS), Lwaxana Troi (TNG, DS9) and the voice of Federation computers. She'd just finished recording for the new film as far as I'm aware so perhaps it is fitting that she came full circle and saw her husband's dream introduced to a new generation.

We shall miss you.

She bought me a beer in 1988, she was a nice lady. That's a real bummer.

If I had a hat, I would remove it in respect.
Had I a sword, I would salute you.
Having nothing save a head,
This I bow to you,
In remembrance.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Holy Cow! Damn - Sad day for Trek fans
She's been with Star Trek since the beginning

Star Trek: The Cage - Number One
Star Trek: TOS - Nurse Chapel/Computer Voice
Star Trek: TAS - Nurse Chapel/Lt M'Ress/Starfleet Computer Voice/Guest Voices
Star Trek Movies: Doctor Chapel/Starfleet Computer Voice
Star Trek: TNG - Lwaxana Troy/Starfleet Computer Voice
Star Trek: DS9 - Lwaxana Troy/Starfleet Computer Voice
Star Trek: VOY - Starfleet Computer Voice
Star Trek: ENT - Starfleet Computer Voice

I'll be honest -I love Star Trek, but I hope the upcoming Star Trek Movie is the final TV/Film incarnation for StarTrek - That way she will have been in it from the beginning to the end.

Sad news.  She's been there since Trek's beginning, and was by all accounts a wonderful person.  At least now she can fly with the Great Bird. :(

I'm not a big Trek fan but I've seen a fair few and never managed to connect Lwaxana Troy with the Ladyee computer.  :doubt:

The Cage isn't a series, it was the name of the first pilot which had Roddenberry as first officer and no Shatner. Spock also laughed.

Crazy days.

Lt M'Ress

Damn, didn't know that. :/

Normally I don't bother expressing my condolences, because I firmly believe words are useless, but this is going to upset a couple people I know. Luxawana was by any standards awesome in her DS9 appearances too. And now who's ever going to voice the computers?

Yet another actor from the original trek makes it to warp 10.......
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Then they changed to the metric system which made much more sense. Silly imperial warp scale.

I assume that folks here are geeky enough to know the difference between ToS warp speeds and TNG and later warp speeds...

     TOS Warp scale is . . . take the warp speed, square it, and that's how fast it goes compared to the speed of light. Ie, Warp 4 = 4*4 = 16x speed of light. Warp 2 is 4x . . Warp 9 is 81 times.
     TNG is something stupid.
