She is really good. I loved TOS, I loved other things Majel did, but I never thought before this show I'd actually be taking the Nurse Chapel character seriously.

@rob_t_firefly @stuck Strange New Worlds has two excellent stand-ins for Majel, and I am always glad to see my daughter's namesake celebrated by giving her roles such respect.

Fancy meeting you here, old pal!

I was always a bit sad that we couldn't get more of Majel's Number One back in the day, I considered that the main missed opportunity of the original pilot, and SNW has really paid off in that respect as well.

I didn't know Majel in real life, of course, but based on all she shared over the years in her work and her speaking publicly about it all I think she would have approved of what SNW is doing with her roles.
