Majel Barrett-Roddenberry Movies
Mission: Impossible III director and Alias creator J.J. Abrams resurrects the classic science fiction franchise created by Gene Roddenberry with this feature film that embraces the rich history of the influential television and film series while also exploring some uncharted territory. Heroes star Zachary Quinto assumes the role of the Federation Starfleet lieutenant and Vulcan made famous in the original series by Leonard Nimoy (who also appears in an older incarnation of his original role), Spock, with Anton Yelchin stepping into the role of USS Enterprise navigator Pavel Chekov, Zoe Saldana assuming the role of communications officer Uhura, Simon Pegg keeping the ship in top shape as chief engineer Montgomery Scott (aka "Scotty"), and Eric Bana tormenting the benevolent space explorers as the villainous Nero. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle co-star John Cho also boards the Enterprise as Hikaru Sulu, with Chris Pine and Karl Urban assuming the legendary roles of Captain Kirk and Leonard "Bones" McCoy, respectively. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Majel Barrett returns in the role of Lwaxana Troi, who arrives on DS9 in a state of advanced pregnancy. Her delight over the prospect of giving birth is dampened by the admonitions of her Tavnian husband Jeyal (Michael Ansara), who insists that he and he alone will raise their son. Meanwhile, Jake is befriended by the mysterious Onaya (Meg Foster), who takes an inordinate interest in his writing aspirations. Scripted by guest star Majel Barrett (using her married name Roddenberry) and Rene Echevarria, "The Muse" was first telecast April 29, 1996. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
