Dorothy "D. C." Fontana, 80, a name familiar to many of us who grew up with Star Trek.

I was saddened to hear this. She was a trailblazer in so many ways.

In a bit of tragic irony, D.C. Fontana wrote the Star Trek episode "Charlie X". The actor who played Charlie X, Robert Walker, died yesterday.

Great episode.  I recently watched most of the original Star Trek on Netflix.  Was surprised at how few episodes I remembered.

That's really sad.  The guy essentially saved the US economy in the 1970s and early 1980s.
