Saturday, January 13th is Trek Talks 3, a marathon of Star Trek panels on YouTube to benefit the Hollywood Food Coalition produced by Trek Geeks, Roddenberry Podcasts, and TrekMovie. Cohosted by John Billingsley (Star Trek: Enterprise‘s Dr. Phlox) and Bonnie Gordon (the voice of the computer on Star Trek: Prodigy), the event has interviews and panels with Star Trek luminaries from behind and in front of the camera, plus discussions with scientists, activists, and more.
Panel highlights include a Star Trek: Picard season 3 reunion, a first-of-its-kind “Tuvix” panel (including Tuvix himself, Tom Wright), and a cast and crew conversation about the Strange New Worlds/Lower Decks crossover. Details and panelists in the schedule below.
