Not just a great computer voice.....a great actress.

Sad day indeed.

Could she BE any classier?  I think not.

Rest in Peace Majel Barret, you will be sorely missed.

*sigh*  The Sacred Chalice of Rixx is an old cup with mold growing in it.  ;)

She is with her beloved husband Gene. God bless them both.

My condolences to their son for his loss..

My one wish is that the legacy will continue for many generations to come!

And George Carlin, I liked having him still knocking around too... This shit has got to stop. Somebody call Death and tell him he's fired.

Status: offline 		RIP.  Althought I don't share the same opinion of many towards her greatness.  Her acting was okay, but it wasn't stellar by any means.  I'm not a big fan of Gene Roddenberry either.  I think his ideas were great, but he almost ruined Star Trek with his meglomanical demands for control over the story content.

Status: offline 		Yeah, 2008 has been hell on fantasy and science fiction and fetish greats, hasn't it? Gygax, Ackerman, Bettie Page, Beverly Garland, George Carlin, Majel Roddenberry...

The cool thing about this woman was, you could actually MEET her at the conventions. Talk to her. While the other actors were denying autographs and demanding huge speaker fees, you could actually walk up to her and chat. She sold these stupid hawaiian hats to benefit the charities she supported and was always willing to listen to fans... (even some of the nutcase ones...) She was also of an earlier generation. One that smoked and drank, and who acually helped turn the sexual revolution. If you look online, you'll find photos of her an Gene in japanese garb for a ceremony, and even a lot of "family photos" on the set of Trek and Gene's other pilots, and at events. In all, she was an amazing woman, and as the theatre folks like to say, "she owned her space."

I'm gonna miss her terribly, although I've only met her a couple of times over the decades.

And Berman etc. Have done so much better of a job in his place? please.

When Roddenberry ran the brand the stories were about ideas since then it has become little more than the same action adventure drivel you get from any other outlet. Things are so bad that at least 2 different fan organizations are making Star Trek webisodes true to Gene's vision rather than hoping that Paramount will ever get things right again.

Status: offline 		  My heart is breaking, how many more classic ones are we going to lose? Yes, I'm a trekkie, have been all my life. Gawds, it drove my parents bonkers!!! I even named one of the monsters Patrick Stewart.... (Hey, I was pregnant, what can I say?) 

May she and Gene see what's out there together and rest in peace together. My thoughts are with their family at this time.
