Wow! Another era ends. Majel Barret has passed away.
For those of you not quite nerdy enough to know, she was the wife of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. She had various parts through the incarnations of Star Trek, including the computer in most of the series (how do you pluralize series: "serieses?"). She just finished one last time in that role on the newest Star Trek movie (soon to be released).
This was a week ago, but here is the link to the family website and AP obit.

I just learned that in the original pilot sent to NBC, she was cast as the second in command on the Enterprise. How cool is that? The Roddenberrys certainly rocked the boat.
