Watch Party: Starfleet Academy – Part 2 (Episodes 4 & 5)

Welcome to our Star Trek: Starfleet Academy watch party series! This newest live-action show in the Star Trek universe is set in the far-future 32nd century and follows the first new class of Starfleet cadets in over a century as they train to become officers of the Federation. Under the demanding guidance of their instructors and mentors, they navigate friendships, rivalries, personal growth, and the challenges of life at the Academy.

For this meetup, we’ll be continuing the series together with Episodes 4 and 5. Join us at STFNW HQ in Tigard as we gather with fellow Trek fans to watch the next chapter unfold.

We're easily accessible via shuttle (TriMet 78) or warp-capable ground vehicles (plenty of free parking in the back). Doors open at 11:30 AM, and you're welcome to beam in at any time throughout the event.

🖖 Event Itinerary:

• 11:30 AM – Pizza lunch and social time – Grab a slice, say hello to fellow cadets, and get settled before we begin the next chapter of the series.
• 12:15 PM – “Vox In Excelso” (SFA) – When a Klingon refugee transport suffers a catastrophic failure, the cadets are forced to confront the realities of diplomacy, duty, and the wider galaxy beyond the Academy walls.
• 1:15 PM – Short intermission – Stretch your legs, refill drinks, grab popcorn, and talk about the episode before we continue.
• 1:30 PM – “Series Acclimation Mil” (SFA) – SAM, the Academy’s first holographic cadet, embarks on a personal investigation into a long-standing Starfleet mystery tied to the legacy of one of Starfleet’s most influential figures while continuing to find her place among her fellow cadets.

🥂🍕 Food & Refreshments:
STFNW will be providing pizza, salad, and popcorn for this watch party, so you'll have something to enjoy while we watch the next episodes of Starfleet Academy together.
If you'd like to contribute, instead of bringing a dish, we invite you to help "stock the replicators" at STFNW HQ. We're collecting refreshments that can stay on hand for this and future meetups, such as:

• Canned soda or sparkling water
• Other shelf-stable beverages
• Drink mix packets (Crystal Light–style pitcher packets)
• Tea bags for hot tea

These kinds of contributions help us keep the lounge stocked for future gatherings and make hosting events easier for everyone.

📍 Location Details:

• Meeting at STFNW HQ, 3rd floor—just look for the Trek-themed flags in our windows as you come up in the elevator - you can't miss us!
• Back doors will be unlocked; front doors are closed on weekends.
• ADA accessible via elevators.

This watch party is designed to be relaxed, social, and welcoming — come for as much or as little of the day as you'd like. New and long‑time Trek fans alike are welcome.

🔊 Accessibility Note:
For those who are hard of hearing, we have personalized listening devices available so you can control your own volume. Just bring your favorite pair of 3.5mm headphones or earbuds, and we'll get you set up!
