It’s a brand new year! But it’s also the same old pandemic. It’s a little quiet in this, the post-holiday season, but in addition to a couple events, I’ll also remind you of some of the weekly events that you can join in on.

Noah Averbach-Katz Reddit AMA - Friday, January 15th

First up, there’s the Reddit AMA with Star Trek: Discovery’s Noah Averbach-Katz. If you haven’t seen his fan tribute video on Twitter, you should go and watch it, and then come to the AMA armed with the nerdiest questions you can think of. That takes place this Friday, January 15th, at 5pm ET.

You can find out more on the Star Trek: Discovery subreddit, at reddit.com/r/StarTrekDiscovery.

The regular stuff

And finally, here’s a recap of the stuff that’s going on every week; if you haven’t joined in yet and you’re at a loose end, now would be a great time to do it.

• 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: Watch Party, hosted daily and coordinated on Facebook. Every evening, they use the Teleparty browser extension to watch Star Trek together. To find out more, head over to Star Trek: Watch Party on Facebook.
