In homage to 'Star Trek's' recent 60th anniversary, a look at how Majel Barrett Roddenberry nearly played a version of Spock, was almost the voice of Alexa and ended up in deep space forever.

    That was a good read, it’s nice to have both her acting peers’ as well as Rod Roddenberry’s perspectives on her. I’m not sure I’ve read more than the equivalent of her Wikipedia entry before. Polite secondhand info, that is.

    I’ve always enjoyed watching Majel whenever she’s on Trek. The first Number One, Nurse Chapel, Lwaxanna… and all the while, also the voice of the Enterprise. Geez, Gene may have been the mind behind the show, but she probably embodied it more than anybody outside of the main cast(s) 🤩

      How can she be considered “outside the main cast(s)” anyway, when her voice is in damn near every episode? 🤔
