Apparently I’m dumb. I need someone to explain the joke to me.

Majel Barrett played both characters in TOS. She also voiced the computer in TNG, DS9, and Voyager.

Also Lwaxana Troi. That part's not relevant to the meme, though.

Ohhhh! I knew she was Nurse Chapel, the computer, and Lwaxana, but not that she was also Number One. Thanks!

I'm a major Majel fan (say that 10 times fast!), And it wasn't until a year or so ago that I realized that Majel played Number One. Blew my mind. Something about her in that episode is just different. Honestly, the woman was a helluvan actor. She threw herself into the roles she took, even when the writing didn't do her justice.
