Sad news. The voice of the United Federation of Planets star ship computers and widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry has passed away. Majel Barrett Roddenberry died at home at the age of 76.
It was just recently announced that she would be reprising her “role” as the voice of the enterprise in the new JJ Abrams Star Trek movie coming out in the new year.
Boldly go Mrs. Roddenberry… boldly go.

RIP Nurse Chapel :(
Well that sucks. Majorly. To Boldly go where no man or woman has gone before.
All good things…
Sniff Sniff I wonder if she already got tapped for the movie or not? If she wasnt able to I hope they only use maybe one line of her dialog in the movie as a tribute.
SUCKS ….BUMMER.
Condolences to her family.
Makes the upcoming movie just a little more touching.
I’m very sad about this news but at least she was able to do the voice of the Enterprise one last time.
Sad.
always very sad when a star trek actor passes. If they need a replacement voice actor then I think they should get Marina Sirtis.
She appeared in one of my favourite episodes of Next Generation.
In it she marrys an alien (David Ogden Steirs) who’s custom was to commit suicide by the time they reach the age of 60. It was a very moving.
2008 strikes again. The Year of the Reaper apparently. This news sucks. I really enjoyed her on the Next Generation at Troi’s mom.
The new film should be a great tribute to her.
This is sad news indeed. She will be missed.
