Poor Mr. Homn  :'(
Wish list: Galaga, Pacman, Pooyan, Star Wars cockpit, Gauntlet, Tron

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Oh no, that's so sad! I met her once at a Star Trek convention (this girl I was dating at the time wanted to go and I had always wanted to check one out, cause Treckies are kind of interesting) I was in the lobby smoking (can't do that these days) and she just came up to me wanting to bum a smoke... we had a nice little chat for a while, she seemed like a very genuine and down to earth person to me... she was really cool! This makes me feel a little sad this morning.  :'(

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I only knew her from her appearances on ST:TNG, but she always seemed like a nice enough lady.

I read at CNN that she had just completed voice over work on J.J Abrams Star Trek movie, I am sure there will be a nice dedication to her in this movie  :applaud:

From what I understand (and just checked in IMDB) is that she has been in every major Startrek franchise since day one (She was Nurse Chapel in the origonal series). She was even voiced in some of the video games. And voiced in the cartoon series.

She was definetly awesome as Lwaxana Troi tho. One of the best played roles in startrek TNG.

EDIT: I just read the link in the first post, and it basically just said what I did. meh...  :dunno
