R.I.P., Mrs. Roddenberry


240x320.jpg
Majel Barrett Roddenberry, wife of the late Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died yesterday. Known as the first lady of Star Trek, she did manage to record her lines as the Enterprise’s computer for the new movie, a role she always voiced in the original TV series and most of the others. She also played Nurse Chapel in the original series, which is how Gene met her, and is a little kinky when you think about it.

The picture above is from their wedding ceremony, which was apparently a traditional Japanese wedding. I think that’s the one of the most marvelously nerdy things I’ve ever heard of.
