View Full Version : Anyone Know about the Voice of the Star Trek Computers? Chuck 12-19-2008, 08:49 AM See if you know. WoodyWoodchuck 12-19-2008, 08:54 AM I didn't and had to look it up. It's great. Chuck 12-19-2008, 08:58 AM I saw her (http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2008/12/majel-roddenber.html?cnn=yes) back in 1996. Chuck 12-19-2008, 09:03 AM If it was easy, I'd do a Star Trek screensaver on my Insight - DocWillie might have this one figured out. rdprice64 12-19-2008, 09:23 AM Lwaxana Troi was my favorite role that she played. In the other roles, she had always been so stiff/serious. I enjoyed the flamboyance on Lwaxana. It is a sad Trek time. The end of an era really. When Gene died it hurt, but with both of them gone ... :ccry: Chuck 12-19-2008, 09:29 AM She did record her part by Dec 4 for next year's Star Trek movie - I expect the credits to have her name: 1932 - 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majel_Barrett) rdprice64 12-19-2008, 09:43 AM One last time :) Chuck 12-19-2008, 09:48 AM Digital technology might allow her to continue as the voice of Star Trek computers forever. :) rdprice64 12-19-2008, 09:49 AM Let's hope. Digital tech is amazing. locutus 12-19-2008, 06:22 PM RIP, "first lady of star trek". :( diamondlarry 12-19-2008, 06:31 PM It is indeed a sad day in the ST world.:(:ccry: I beleive she will always be the voice of ST computers with today's technology. It wouldn't be right any other way. Offhand, does anyone know how many of the original cast members are left? Chuck 12-19-2008, 08:38 PM The ST dead: The actor that played Spock's father Dr McCoy Scotty Gene Roddenberry all the red shirts :p rdprice64 12-19-2008, 09:19 PM ... all the red shirts LOL :D Good one Chuck! diamondlarry 12-19-2008, 10:24 PM The ST dead: ...all the red shirts :p You do realize that didn't come true until the passing of James Doohan right? Chuck 12-19-2008, 10:27 PM As a programmer, I often feel called to do the impossible - just like Scotty. rdprice64 12-20-2008, 11:38 AM Right before the warp core "blooooooooows" to quote Scotty. I think all of us programmers feel that way a little too often. Chuck 12-20-2008, 11:41 AM Right before the warp core "blooooooooows" to quote Scotty. I think all of us programmers feel that way a little too often.Thanks to Wayne, I've feel guilty doing a YouTube of this: A cam of an Insight with the tach and Assist pegging as the transmission hum they use as the Enterprise pushes Warp 10 is deafening rdprice64 12-20-2008, 12:04 PM :D Perhaps the Honda engineers used ST displays as their design inspiration ;) Gairwyn 12-21-2008, 02:24 AM The actor that played Spock's father I believe his name was Mark Lenard. I went to a few Star Trek conventions. Had the pleasure of meeting DeForest Kelley. He was a cool guy. Sorry to hear about Majel passing away. Chuck 12-21-2008, 10:49 AM I believe his name was Mark Lenard.Thank you - I had problems recalling his name. diamondlarry 12-21-2008, 10:52 AM He also played the Klingon in the episode "Day of the Dove." Chuck 12-21-2008, 10:59 AM Anyone remember the ST:Voyager episode Tom Paris tells the senior staff: "If we get any lower on dilithium we are going to have to push?" :D diamondlarry 12-21-2008, 11:08 AM Anyone remember the ST:Voyager episode Tom Paris tells the senior staff: "If we get any lower on dilithium we are going to have to push?" :D Ah yes, I do remember that one. They were always coming up with ways to conserve on power. If only they could have had Wayne on board to show them how to hypermile a star ship: Pulse up to Warp 7 and glide back to Warp 4. Oh, and don't forget the death-turn around the nebula.:D Chuck 12-21-2008, 11:11 AM Then there is the Bajorian wormhole in ST: Deep Space Nine vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
