Title: Majel Barret dead Post by: Merusk on December 18, 2008, 06:40:49 PM I'm surprised there's no post, you guys disappoint! -9 geekcred.
Seems she had Leukemia (http://www.mercurynews.com/breakingnews/ci_11263728?nclick_check=1) which I didn't know. With her passing, perhaps the franchise can end with the movie. :grin: Title: Re: Majel Barret dead Post by: schild on December 18, 2008, 06:42:07 PM I can't make your link work. Something is wrong with me.
Title: Re: Majel Barret dead Post by: Big Gulp on December 18, 2008, 09:19:34 PM It seemed like an exotic name. I thought, "Poet? Author maybe?" And then I went to Wikipedia and learned that this only matters to Star Trek nerds.

Title: Re: Majel Barret dead Post by: Evildrider on December 19, 2008, 11:51:51 AM Sucks that she's gone, the ST computer voice will never be the same. At least she was able to do the new movie before she passed.
Title: Re: Majel Barret dead Post by: Tannhauser on December 22, 2008, 03:29:00 AM She did a great job with Star Trek. Warp speed good lady.
Title: Re: Majel Barret dead Post by: Yegolev on December 27, 2008, 11:29:10 AM Smart money would have had her recording large amounts of computer dialog. Then again, how much computer dialog do you need?
New computer voice should be Clive Owen. Title: Re: Majel Barret dead Post by: stray on December 27, 2008, 11:31:20 AM I say Paul Reubens. He needs work.
