It's a sad day for nerds... Majel Barrett-Roddenberry has died of leukemia at 76. Normally when a celebrity of any sort dies, I don't feel terribly sad, except at the loss of a human being. In this case, I'm actually saddened because she's been part of the Star Trek series for 4 decades, more than my entire life, which, incidentally, has been spent enjoying Star Trek.
Rest is peace Majel, Nurse Chapel, Luwaxana, Computer. Rest in peace.
(Please note, I had to fight hard not to make a transporter "beam up" joke, as well as 'Boldly Go', and several others. My apologies for not trying to be funny about this one...)
