Something sad
I know a recent post said this this blog is all about good thing but I can’t help but post about someone who left a mark on me.
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry died Thursday 18 December 2008 at home from Leukemia.
There were times that I was obsessed with Star Trek and when she guest starred on TNG, it was a highlight to me. She was funny and strong and sure of herself when she played Deanna Troi’s mom, Lwaxana Troi. She was the lady to party with or cry on the shoulder on.
When I read of her passing it was like loosing Gene (Roddenberry) all over again. Much of my teens and early 20′s focused around Star Trek, much to my teachers frustration.
I have confirmed that she will be in the May release of the new Star Trek movie as the familiar and comforting voice of the computer. If I am to see one movie this May (Star Trek vs. Wolverine), Star Trek is now winning.
My condolences go out to Eugene, her son and the rest of the Roddenberry/Barrett families for their loss. I will miss that fiery soul and hope she is off having fun with Gene and causing trouble wherever they may be.
