Watch Party: Starfleet Academy – Part 3 (Episodes 6 - 8)

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 6, 7 and 8. 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 AM, and you're welcome to beam in at any time throughout the event.

🖖 Event Itinerary:

• 11:30 AM – “Come, Let’s Away” (SFA) – The cadets embark on their first major training mission aboard a derelict Starfleet vessel, where a routine exercise quickly turns into a dangerous encounter that tests their teamwork, courage, and readiness for the realities of life beyond the Academy.
• 12:30 PM – Social / lunch break – Take time to stretch your legs, chat with fellow fans, grab some food, and discuss the episode before we continue.
• 1:15 PM – “Ko’Zeine” (SFA) – As the cadets head home for their first school holiday, they are pulled between family expectations and their own hopes for the future, with several of them facing deeply personal choices about who they want to become.
• 2:30 PM – “The Life of the Stars” (SFA) – A visiting instructor uses an unusual method to help the cadets process recent trauma, while one cadet faces an unexpected challenge that could change the course of her life forever.

🥂🍕 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!
