Barrett-Roddenberry Part of 'Star Trek XI'

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, widow of Gene Roddenberry, will lend her voice to Star Trek XI.

As reported by Roddenberry Productions, Barrett-Roddenberry will reprise her role as the voice of the USS Enterprise computer.

A part of Star Trek since the original pilot (The Cage), Barrett-Roddenberry has played several roles on Star Trek. She was first cast as "Number One," in The Cage. That role did not continue, but Barrett-Roddenberry was able to land the role of nurse Christine Chapel. On Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, she played Lwaxana Troi, mother of Deanna.

Barrett-Roddenberry has done voice work for each of the Star Trek television series, including the animated series, and for four of the Star Trek movies, including: Star Trek: Generations, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Nemesis and now Star Trek XI.

That's cool. I hadn't thought of how the computer voice would sound in Trek XI.

So we're not going to get an All Good Things-style rant this time?

As long as she's available, she should be part of Star Trek.
