Oh captain, my captain
The first Contact Day salute is an introductory announcement and presentation by the one and only Patrick Stewart. Everyone is your favorite Star trek Captain but Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard is the only person to have a straight-to-the-trek spinoff to his name. Take it, Kirk! (Granted, they can always change the upcoming name Star Trek: Strange New World in the form of bus Pike, And then will compete in Picard.)
His former association with Stewart is next generation Coaster Will Wheaton, who will stick around to host some of the day’s panels. Has become a staple of Wheaton journeyRelated projects behind the scenes – he currently hosts Paramount + Ready room – So he makes sure to correct in a partial MC role until the first contact day.
resistance is futile
Will lead directly into a conversation about Patrick Stewart’s welcome message Star Trek: First Contact, Twenty-five years after its release. Stewart and Wheaton will be joined by Brent Spiner (Data), Alice Craig (Borg Queen), and Jonathan Frakes, who directed the film in addition to the role of Ryker. First contact Frakes’s directorial debut was, and it led to a successful career as a director – on and off Star trek Universe.

For lulz
Wheaton is back, and so Mike McMahon and Paul F. Along with Tomkins are Fracks and Spinner. McMahon is the creator behind this Star Trek: Lower DeckThe first Trek animated comedy, and Tompkins voices Dr. Migalemo, one of the characters on the show.
The panel is appropriately about comedy Star trek Universe. You know, those lighter, funniest subplots you’ll see in a few episodes, and go along with the more serious main storyline. The data is in a fair share of those, so it makes sense for the spinner to be part of this conversation. And come to think of it, Riker also had his share of comic moments next generation, So Fracus must also have a lot to say.
