First Contact Day, Federation Day, Frontier Day...holiday planners love to F around, don't they? 😏 The one holiday I would like to celebrate would be the Bajoran Gratitude Festival. There's something deeply appealing about letting go of one's worries, turning them to ash and moving forward into the future with gratitude for our blessings. Peldor Joi, and Happy Holidays everyone!
You don't need a holiday to do that. Could be a nice end-of-the-year ritual. Write down all of your regrets and worries from the past year on pieces of paper then burn them and symbolically start the next year fresh. Could be fun. Maybe I'll try it.
It’s not very hard to calculate the first day of the Bajoran Gratitude Festival. It’s always the first Riljksday after the 20th Flesday following the first eclipse of the 12th moon of the planet Keljan. Unless the year (calculated from the date of the opening of the Torath Temple) is a prime number, in which it’s the 24th Flesday. Keep in mind we are talking about the Torath temple in Larchannon province, not the one in Garthoon province. Fairly straightforward I would think.
Was it really a tactically sound decision to bring the ENTIRE fleet back for Frontier Day? Surely some still real Starfleet Admiral would've flagged that up as being a bad idea?
…. The higher ups like Tuvok were replaced by Founders… and morons like Fleet Admiral Shelby were so proud to show off the new fleet automation that she thought it was a good idea. Which goes to show, even in the future, if you have stupid people in charge stupid things happen.
Only three days until Christmas and no mention of Christmas (at least honorable mention)? Because, yes, at least some humans as late as the 23rd century still celebrate the old holiday, and possibly as late as the 24th century, as well. We know that Kirk and the lovely and rather badass Dr. Helen Noel shared a flirty encounter at a “Christmas party” (direct quote) aboard the Enterprise during the Original Series. Picard also had a vision in the Temporal Nexus, in which he perceived himself celebrating Christmas with an unrealized family. This one is a bit ambiguous given the timey whimy hallucinogenic nature of that particular experience. However, it suggests that Christmas is possibly still celebrated on Earth as late as the 24th century. It’s unambiguous that members of the Enterprise crew were celebrating Christmas in the 2260s.
i love the lohlunat festival in STO. there's a gorn who attends that event called Xeemar and many players that you haven't experienced the festival until you've met him.
Aww, my gaming PC died a couple years ago. But this reminded me of Lohlunat. Not as fun as Q's winter event (which I really miss. I loved Klingon gummy fishing), but a fun time anyway.
First contact day gets the same confusion as the Millenium celebration we had - in the wrong year. The first version of Star Trek Chronology lists First Contact as 2061. (I believe it was changed on a whim during production of the movie of the same name).
Every day is Captain Picard day as far as I'm concerned! As much as I love Kirk, and I did watch TOS and TAS before TNG started back in '89 (because America hated us and made us wait a bloody year!) Picard IS the best!
Thoughts on the Star Trek Cruises? It annoys me that a show that in part teaches to try to be ethical, follow the science etc, also runs a holiday scheme that uses one of the most polluting forms of transport in the world. Gotta chase that $$$ though, for all the ethics talk in the TV shows, it's always been a merchandise cashgrab chasing Star Wars' tails.
Most of the federation holidays are so copy pasta that there is little to distinguish between them. Which is sort of offensive considering that do you really think that in 2-400 years time people are going to stop celebrating holidays like halloween? Yet there is a conspicuous absence of traditional holidays in trek, save for that really out of place Victorian Christmas fantasy of Jean Lucs in generation.
Ok...THIRST CONTACT genuinely cracked me up😂
Lower Decks is such a sensational series. It really is a love letter to all of Star Trek.
I can see the return of Voyager to Earth from the Delta Quadrant being established as some sort of holiday--for the crew of Voyager at least.

i live in montana and seeing how important my state is for first contact makes me happy as almost no popular media takes place here!
Honestly Neelix just sounds like the kind of guy to always see the positivity in almost any situation

2:57 I always thought that Frontier Day was 16 April b/c Archer’s first captain’s log entry in Broken Bow was 16 April 2161.
198 years after my birthday on April 16th.
I think every ship would certainly celebrate the birthday of their beloved captain, or the anniversary of the launch of the ship.
Man forget nov-dec being “The Holidays”, April is hopping in the Trek verse!
Damn, April must be a stressful month for people in the Federation, half of their holidays seem to fall in that month.

Someone did.
Commodore Laforge.
There were definitely a lot of ridiculous decisions there. But presumably there were also enough shapeshifter impersonators to get the ball rolling.

As long as they don't do a "Star Wars Holiday Celebration" type episode celebrating "Life Day." 🤦🏻♂️

Since Patrick Stewart is so well known for his version of The Christmas Carol, I think a bit of that was a nod to his work.
@ - yes, good point!

Dude,what an amazing channel you have

Any chance of getting a breakdown on how to determine star dates? It really help out in trying to out when certain things take place in the future.
The 5th of April is also my daughter's birthday. She'll be 73 on First Contact Day. AND her name came from one of the Star Trek novels.
Nice to see STO getting some love
i love to see Star Trek Online in these videos!

GEEZ…! April is a jam packed month.
Thirst contact sounds like a dating app for lonely nerds
Could you imagine a theme park that actually was able to do that ride? I'd think the locals would be pissed
Just checking on First Contact and Role Model days
Captain Pike's Birthday!
Im taking first contact day off in '25. Cant wait for someone at work to ask me if my day off is for something special.😂
Next time, do one about spaceborne creatures
You mentioned Lohlunat in STO but not what they do for First Contact Day?
Boimler drew the banner for Captain Freeman Day :)
Thanks. 🎅🏻🎄🖖🏻
Are there 1000 days in a star date year? Or is one star date unit 1/3 ish of a solar day? Probably never meant to be looked at that closely…
April-June is busy time for Federation Holiday lol
Great video
Seán, do you have a favorite Star Trek holiday?
4. Advent

This year in San Francisco, some Trekkies held evemts to help the homeless to mark the day the Bell Riots supposedly happened.
Pikes bday holiday revealed by Bradward!, 🎉❤
First Contact Day
Poor Tuvok.
Neat
Thanksgiving
Just so long as we don't end up with a cheese-fest like they did for star wars and their holiday special... :P
