There was a time when I thought I’d never see the day without the original cast, but we’re now another step closer to that becoming reality.
I thought she was [mostly] annoying as Lwaxana Troi, but otherwise, I’d have to say she was the voice of Star Trek and the franchise wouldn’t have been the same – and won’t be – without her. I’m still unsure what to think about the “new” Star Trek, but it’s good to hear that she finished her voice work.
