Hunter6 said:The thing about majel's voicing the computer for this JJ Trek movie is that when a person looks at the info and facts, it really, really looks like an low move by JJ.
This movie had been finish and Originally this movie was going to be released Dec 25 2008. This Movie was done with the Dec 25 2008 release date in mind and JJ never had Majel recorded her voice or even said she was going to it. Then the release date was changed (which is something JJ hated) to May 2009 and the finish film was put in the can a'till May 2009. All this year with the film in the can waiting for it's new release date, JJ never had Majel recorded her voice or even said she was going to it.
Then days before she died, Majel recorded for the new movie on Dec 4 2008.
Majel died Dec 18 2008 only 14 days after recorded for the new movie.
Odd timing that JJ record Majel only 14 days before she died and that before then, JJ never had Majel recorded her voice or even said she was going to be in this film for the past 8 months.
It really, really looks like JJ was not going to have Majel in this film, but then JJ heard about Majel dying and ran to her death-bed to have her record some lines for his film before she died just for JJ to say that she is in the film.
Low move, JJ.
It is also Low that in JJ Abrams condolence for Majel that JJ throws in a plug for his Star Trek:
"She will be immortalized by her life’s work, including, I feel lucky and honored to say, her performace in the latest chapter in the Star Trek saga." -JJ Abrams.
What is the next low move for you, JJ Abrams. are you going to sell parts of Majel's body off on EBAY or just use her name to push your film now that she is dead.

I'm for one is really sick of all Abrams actions with trek.
I really feel that trek-fans need to do like skyjedi2005 said by boycotting this movie.
You do realise that what you are doing there could be protrayed as being as low as what you reckon JJ has been over Majel's death because he mentioned the new film ? You, unknowingly, are using her death to portray what a low life you believe JJ is.
Majel died of leukaemia and would have been undergoing some really horrible treatment so would have probably been unable to record the voice originally for the movie but when she realised she was dying it may well have been her wish that she record the lines. Do you know that he never asked her to do the voice originally? No. Just because JJ mentioned star trek in his condolences doesn't mean that he was plugging his movie at all. God you really come up with things that aren't even there. So everyone who worked on the Dark knight and said that it was a privilege to work with Heath Ledger on Dark Knight was just throwing in a plug for the movie and were being disrespectful? Come on, seriously now.
So Gene would have hated the movie because it isn't his original vision for Star Trek? Well Star Trek has never been his original vision from the day the first series started. Don't you even remember "The Cage?" That was his original vision and the network didn't like it so he changed the format of the show to what we all know as TOS. Even James Kirk's middle name changed in the TOS. And Spock originally showed emotion in the cage but became emotionless in the series.
You know little about the movie and haven't even seen it yet but continue to slate it. I love ST and have grown up with it from the TOS re-runs in the UK in the early 70's. It continued to change a grow with the times, especially design wise. Star Trek became stale and it needed a good kick in the ass. whether this movie is it, that remains to be seen but i for one won't judge it on a trailer and some gossipy titbits alone. If the movie turns out to be a big steaming turd then i'll be one of the first to admit it but some will still slate the movie even if it turns out to be great.
