Star Trek events: Thursday, January 28th - Wednesday, February 3rd, 2021
Yes, you can attend all these Star Trek events…from bed!
Well, kids, the longest January on record is officially coming to a close. How about you join me in a celebratory virtual Star Trek event or three?
Deadline Virtual Screening Series - Star Trek: Discovery - Thursday, January 28th
First up, the Deadline Virtual Screening Series is hosting a Star Trek: Discovery panel this evening, with Executive Producers Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise, and series star Sonequa Martin-Green. The event runs for three hours from 5pm to 8pm PT and while registration asks for credentials, I successfully registered as non-affiliated.
To find out more and how to register, visit Deadline Hollywood on Facebook, or head to startrekdiscovery2021.splashthat.com.
B5 events presents Joanna Cassidy - Saturday, January 30th
Then on Saturday, January 30th at 10am PT, B5 Events is hosting Joanna Cassidy, who Star Trek fans will know as T’Les from Star Trek: Enterprise, but who I’ll always think of as Dolores from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The event is hosted by long-time Star Trek stuntwoman and actor Patricia Tallman, and costs $29.99 for early bird general admission.

GalaxyCon Live: Star Trek: The Next Generation - Saturday, January 30th
Finally, on Saturday, January 30th at 2pm ET, it’s another GalaxyCon Live event, this time with Denise Crosby, Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
As per usual, registration is free but required, and you can also purchase autographs or one-on-one video sessions.

Daily Star Trek Views - Friday, January 29th
And of course, don’t forget to join me tomorrow afternoon, Friday at 1pm PT, for the live show Daily Star Trek Views on YouTube. This week, I’m starting a rewatch of Star Trek: Lower Decks, in celebration of it finally being available in Europe. This week it’s the premiere episode, “Second Contact”.

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.
And finally, Sid City Social Club, hosted by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine star Alexander Siddig’s official fan website, is continuing their twice-weekly livestreams on Fridays and Tuesdays. To find out more, including how to join in, head to sidcity.net.
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?
