Majel Roddenberry Dies At 76

unassimilatible writes "If there was ever a sad day for nerds, it's today, as Majel Barrett-Rodenberry has passed away. The widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry is best remembered as the gorgeous Nurse Christine Chapel from the original series, the pesky and officious Lwaxana Troi from The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, and of course the ubiquitous voice of Star Trek computers in movies, TV, and animated films (who hasn't used her voice as a system sound on their PC?). Majel also attended Star Trek conventions yearly and was a producer of Andromeda. Fortunately, Majel just finished her voice over work for the computers in J.J. Abrams' latest Trek movie. I have to admit, this made me sad, just having caught up on the entire TNG and DS9 series on DVD."

That's a shame

Minor niggle: Godspeed is something you wish upon living people, because you want their voyage to be quick. With someone departed, it doesn't make sense, because the voyage they embark on is for eternity -- there's no advantage to speed.

And in Majel Barrett's case, surely a wish of speed would be "warp speed"?
