Can we have a USS Lucille?

[DragonGnomes]

lol...... couldnt find anything so far about her on here but just wondering on peoples thoughts on "There would be no Star Trek without Lucille Ball"....
Besides her being a comic genius lol I have read a few articals about her double pilot funding of ST and seems to be this would be kinda correct?
She possibly misunderstood the gist of the show lol. Ive read she thought it some kinda USO tour show lol.
what do you think?

 

[Finn]

Not "possibly"

She definitely did.

My mind went to a different place when I saw "USS Lucille" and made me think that Jeffrey Dean Morgan would play the Captain of this ship.

Cool! I would have put her in a TOS uniform though. What's that insignia, it's not Starfleet?

If you look close, it's a cartoon of Lucy's face (like the logo from one of her TV shows) made as a badge . They even plan to sell the badge as a badge.
They said they DID try it in a TOS uniform, and they said "Trust me, it looks MUCH better this way."

How hands on was Lucy at Desilu?

You'd have to ask Desi!

 

[mb22]

By the time Trek came around, Lucy and Desi had divorced. There is information about her regarding the show in Solow and Justman's Inside Star Trek.

Lucille Ball was an absolute trailblazer. She was I think the second woman (after Gertrude Berg) producer of shows. Interracial marriage. Stood up for projects she believed in.

Usually when we honor someone by naming a ship after them, it's their surname that's used. How about USS Ball?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

They'd probably use both her first and last names.
