A Hypotetical Muppet Question

[Rincewiend]

(Didn't I read somewhere that the developers of that Siri thing actually called it Majel unofficially?)

The codename for Google's Android version was Majel.

I'm surprised Kermit was the first thing that popped into your head after seeing the Tupac hologram.

I've been half-predicting/half-hoping for digital recreations of new TOS episodes since the 80s. Trials and Tribbilations was a good start in that direction but not quite what I had in mind...

The closest we'll ever come to seeing that happening is if the voice recordings from the canceled Secret of Vulcan Fury (which were completed prior to the game's cancellation) are found, and Paramount hires a CG team to animate the story.

^^ From what I remember, all they did with "Free as a Bird" was take an existing recording of Lennon singing the song, and then add recordings of the other Beatles singing along with the recording -- basically what's already done in the recording studio, with a much longer time interval between vocal tracks. Hardly the same thing as digitally replicating his voice.

Yeah, it's been so long since I've seen the Anthology; I don't own them, but I thought they did a little more, but I guess not.

Edit: what's messed up about that song is, even after all those years, George Harrison still got ripped off. He got less lines than Paul and not as much guitar work as I would've liked.

Damn, that'd be a miracle, wouldn't it? At the very least, I'd like to see the game actually completed and released with high-res animation. Either way, it's a damn shame that we'll never get to hear any of it.
