According to Anthony Pascale she completed her work on the movie.

Is Gary Lockwood still living?

Yes.

That would make a fun bit of stunt casting.

Why? Who'd you think he should have played here?

Because I was replying to someone who referenced the computer delivery as being like that of Douglas Rain's HAL9000...and Lockwood is clearly a single degree of separation between Trek and 2001:ASO. I wouldn't care who he'd play...it'd just be fun is all.

My favorite aunt died last night but that didn't affect me half as much as this terrible news.

R.I.P. Majel Barret Roddenberry.

This is so sad. I had no idea she was even ill.

RIP

 

[dougkeenan]

Thanks for everything Majel.

 

[Jen]

I'm shocked that she passed. I was so excited to hear the news that she would be involved with the new film...and now she's gone. RIP, Majel.

Man this is so sudden. I was so happy to hear she would be in the new movie and now to hear that she has passed away really makes me sad.

 

[milo bloom]

Extremely sad to hear, but we can take comfort in her long legacy of work.

Very glad to hear she completed her work for the new movie, it will be great to hear her one last time.

 

[StarTrek1701]

Damn. And here I was wanting to hear what her reaction was after watching the finished movie.

RIP Majel.

This may have already been said on the board, but Abrams be damned if there's not a dedication.

Program Complete.

 

[Eric Cheung]

There will probably be at least a dedication to Randy Pausch and Majel Barrett. Hopefully the list won't get too much longer.

 

[chardman]

Damn. I've gotten real emotional in my old age, and it doesn't take much to get me all teary-eyed. Now I just know that I'm gonna start crying every time the computer talks in Trek XI. (Hell, I still cry sometimes when I hear Phil Hartman in old "Simpson's" episodes.)

 

[johnsonalmighty]

It is a sad day for Trekies, Im not religious but, may her soul rest in pease and may she granted a way into heaven, Amen.

 

[Bill Morris]

I miss her already.

 

[Akiraprise]

I was bummed when I heard of her passing. She was a cool lady. RIP Majel.

 

[Butters]

Oh no.

 

[dillon3001]

This may have already been said on the board, but Abrams be damned if there's not a dedication.

Program Complete.

There should be. It would be hard to imagine Trek without her contributions.

I'm real sorry to hear about her passing - Though The stars will twinkle a little brighter now.
