Star Trek events: Thursday, August 27th - Wednesday, September 2nd, 2020
August is nearly over, so make the most of your last weekend with some virtual Star Trek events!
It’s Thursday, which means it’s events day. We cover a week’s worth of events, which means that these are the things going on between now and next Wednesday, which, by the way, is SEPTEMBER. When did that happen?
GalaxyCon Live: William Shatner & Henry Winkler, Better Late Than Never - Saturday, August 29th
First up, GalaxyCon Live is hosting William Shatner this weekend, but he’s not alone! This Saturday, August 29th, at 2pm ET, Shatner will be joined by his Better Late Than Never co-star Henry Winkler for an exclusive interview.
GalaxyCon Live: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Sunday, August 30th
Then on Sunday, August 30th, GalaxyCon Live is also hosting the cast of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for a live Q&A chat. Several Deep Space Nine actors are expected to be there: Armin Shimerman, Nana Visitor, Alexander Siddig, Andrew Robinson, Terry Farrell and Chase Masterson.
For both the Shatner/Winkler and the Deep Space Nine events, tickets are free, and you can also purchase autographs and one-on-one video chats if you wish.
The regular stuff
Finally, some stuff I’ve told you about before that are still going on:
These are the Twitter watchalongs:
#allstartrek runs Sunday through Friday at 8/7C and follows the Heroes and Icons Channel’s All Star Trek programme.
#TOSSatNight starts at 9pm PT on Saturday night and follows a different episode of The Original Series every week, and
#StarTrekHour is a Q&A-format event, every Tuesday at 1pm PT.
Then there’s Star Trek: Netflix Party, hosted daily and coordinated on Facebook. Every evening, they use the Netflix Party Chrome extension to watch Star Trek together. To find out more, head over to Star Trek: Netflix Party on Facebook.
If you have an online event or gathering you’d like me to promote on the show, let me know! How are YOU getting together with your fellow Trekkies, without leaving the house?
