Do you really think they would have decided to hire one actor for all three roles? And yeah, it kind of is a criticism because the point is she had that much range as an actress, playing multiple iconic characters which people have no problem keeping separate in their minds rather despite all being played by one person.

It wouldn’t have to take a dozen actors to replace Jeffrey Combs either… but good luck finding one actor to replace all of his roles.

I was even more surprised when I found out Lwaxana and the enterprise computer had the same actress.

The computer voice would be fine, but i feel Lwaxana would be rambling about her 3rd husband or something instead of giving directions

I’d love to have the voice of Data giving me navigation directions and LaForge interrupting on a regular basis feeding me endless technobabble about everything that was wrong with my vehicle while the ‘red alert’ siren plays in the background

She did supposedly record her voice for the purpose of using it as the computer before she died, but I’ve never heard it used.

i remember you used to be able to download voice packs for one of the common map apps (maybe Waze?) but instead of saying the road names it just gave simple commands like turn left and turn right. i betcha you could rip all of those straight from episodes without needing to synthesize anything new

Agreed on both. And I’m sorry she wasn’t in more.

And if they ever decide to add M’Ress, it will be four.
