People often mistake Worf for being the character with the most appearances in Star Trek, but little-known fact: its actually Computers voice, which is in all five Star Treks. Actually, heres the weird truth: before Majel Barrett died, she recorded every possible thing Computer could ever say so they could still use her voice, but then Discovery just chucked it in favor of a new voice. As the inspiration for Siri and Alexa, can we just blame Computer for all of the house robot things? Like, did Gene Roddenberry just innately understand in the 1960s that servant robots would have female voices in the future, or would have boy robot voices if not for Star Trek? I guess well never know. To me, the definitive Computer moment is when someone said Computer, do X, and Computer couldnt do X. Lesser moments include when Computer was deactivated and didnt respond to being told to do X, when Computer actually did X, and when Computer thought it did X, didnt actually do X, and was told to run a self-diagnostic. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
