Interesting extract from a longer /Film interview with in-demand director Roxann Dawson.
I appreciate how she speaks with respect for the shows of the new era.
Oh hell. So I’m a little bit tipsy, but I just saw the words “Roxanne Dawson (B’Elanna) passed” and got damn scared for a second
I had the same panic. That’s not even the title of the article (‘Voyager’s Roxann Dawson Had A Chance To Direct Star Trek But Dropped It For Another Show’) so, unless the website changed it, you have to wonder what OP was doing writing it that way.
OP isn’t American. It’s not a universal euphemism.
Even having lived in the US at one point it’s not an automatic connection.
Canadians (at least in my experience) use the expression ‘passed away’ if at all to avoid saying ‘died.’
But also being Canadian, I’ve given my regrets elsewhere on this thread. And I’m sorry for the unintended shock to any and all who don’t share my dialect.
I’m sober and did the same.

Woke up, no coffee yet, and saw "Roxann Dawson (B’Elanna) passed … " Startled the heck out of me.
Baked af and I freaked the mother fuck out (while remaining partially calm).
The title got me as well, and I was sober. My heart dropped and then I reread and let a sigh of relief…
The little blurb shown on this post is wrong:
Roxann Dawson was an actor on Star Trek: Voyager before she became a TV director, although she’s never actually directed a Star Trek episode.
She directed about 10% of all Enterprise episodes.
hit those fools with the knowledge
Wikipedia says she also directed 2 Voyager episodes.
I thought she’d directed episodes of Voyager too.
Memory Alpha credits her with Voyager episodes ‘Riddles’ and ‘Workforce Part II’.
And it’s a quite nice little episode. Foundation really got good in its second season.
Second season is so boring I barely got through first two episodes over a week because I kept falling asleep watching them. I really hope it picks up in E3.
I think I have never disagreed with anyone more in my life then you and your post.
I’m actually a little jealous. That must be an awesome life :-)
