On this Friday's Live chat we'll be looking at episodes 15 - 20 of Season 1 Deep Space Nine. We'll also be discussing our cringiest fan moments - moments in our past where as fans we have embarrassed ourselves or can't believe we did that!
As we are doing Deep Space Nine we have changed our 'Blended' section where we create Star Trek Themed Cocktails to 'Quarks'/ Where this week we'll be trying out the Raktajino!
This week we cover S1 episodes 7-14.
This week we continue with our 'Trekkie Girls Do Deep Space Nine' feature as we rewatch DS9 and Sarah (Our Trekkie In Training) watches it for the first time.
We have new apparel from Wild Bangarang to show you! Wild Bangarang are official Star Trek license holders and have extended their range and we can't wait to show you!
We test out a recipe for a VERY alcoholic Raktajino!
The Trekkie Girls reaction to the episode 'An Obol for Charon'. They share their thoughts and plans for the weekend which include talking to Robert Duncan McNeill at the Sci-Fi Ball.
We are now streaming our Friday Night Live Chats on Facebook, Periscope and Youtube Live.
Join us each Friday at 21:00 UTC.
In our Friday Night Live chat we share a recipe for Tranya and our reaction to the latest episode of Star Trek Discovery ‘Point of Light’.

We discuss the 'Picard announcement' and what we hope to see with a disclaimer that WE TOTALLY WON'T LAWYER UP IF THIS HAPPENS!
We talk about Season two of Star Trek Discovery and our Trek Goals - what we are doing to survive from one Star Trek Convention to the next.
We bought our T-Shirts from Chase Masterson to support the Pop Culture Hero Coalition. A non profit organisation which works to educate and support children, teens and adults to overcome bullying and social injustice, and to transform their struggles into strengths, using stories and characters from pop culture TV, film, and comics.
Whilst we are a bit late posting it (seriously this is why we don't podcast!) we were quick to meet up and discuss our thoughts on the first two episodes of Star Trek Discovery.
In short, we were blown away! The characters, the visuals, the story, the very concept that STAR TREK IS BACK!! There was too much to talk about in the brief time we had, but here's our initial thoughts.

The Trekkie Girls are at Fedcon for a second day, attending talks, visiting dealer stands and getting merry with fellow trekkies!
See our first impressions here
Normally at events we're screaming at the alarm clock at 6 am but Fedcon is chill! After a nice lay in we head to the LeVar Burton talk. All Trekkie have one thing on their mind at the moment - Star Trek Discovery and a lot of questions relate to it. LeVar was very open to working on the series.

So Sam decided to ask him he felt he had the closest personality to his character out of all the TNG cast. LeVar agreed although also felt Patrick Stewart was close with Picard and quipped "Patrick could be grumpy … Continue Reading ››
This year we were delighted to experience a bit more of what the SF Ball has to offer. Having previously only been able to attend for a day, new ticket options meant we were able to experience the much talked about Saturday night cabaret.
It also allowed us to immerse ourselves in a different type of convention. We are admittedly more accustom to large scale events and some purely fan led events. We feel the SF Ball sits in it's own special category. As the Borg would say "It is unique". The organisers are clearly fans, of that, there is no doubt. But there is a professionalism and reputation (from both customers and the talent) which has made this event last for over two decades. There's a passion for the event's success, it's value and for the charity it seeks to raise money for - The Teenage Cancer … Continue Reading ››
