So I click the little envelope that Yahoo messenger so thoughfully deposits in your icon bar to indicate you've got mail, and before making it to my mail, a useless bit of drivel in an obscure tabletop rpg yahoo group I subscribe to, the news pops up, appropriatly set to entertainment.
Majel Barret Roddenberry has died... To those of you whom I will, genereously (in the spirit of Christmas), call "uninformed", she is the widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, was involved in some small way with every Star Trek series and fostered and developed fandom in times of Star Trek draught...
I'm not a huge original series fan, so I can't speak to her preformance as Nurse Chappel, but I've seen enough Next Gen to really fucking love Lawaxona Troi, and of course she voices the computer in every series since Next Gen (and thankfully has finnished her voicework for the upcoming film)
So I got a little misty eyed.. And my sister scoffed at me.. In the spirit of holiday generosity, she's totally not a bitch.
