Star Trek: Voyager Premiere Kicks off space.com Chat Schedule posted: 09:19 am ET 21 September 1999
Let's Talk Space TV
Space.com kicks off its Space Imagined chat schedule on Wednesday with an informal discussion of science fiction on television and other SF topics.
The chat session officially begins at 10 p.m. ET, immediately after the
season premiere of Star Trek: Voyager. Both diehard fans and casual detractors of the series are invited to hang around the space.com chat room during the show's airing to provide running commentary and get acquainted during commercial breaks. After the final credits roll, the chat focus will swing around to dissect the future of Voyager, Star Trek and space-oriented television in general.
Among more mundane accomplishments, Martin is best known in the SF field for his work on the best-selling game
Trinity. He also had a minor but enthusiastic role in the evolution of the social activity euphemistically known as "Drunk Trek." In the spirit of that now-ancient venture, chat participants are encouraged to share their cheers and catcalls during the episode viewing.
UPN will first air a rerun of last year's Voyager finale at 8 p.m. ET, followed by the new episode at 9 p.m.
Space Imagined chats will feature interviews with SF personalities and other theme-specific discussion of interest to fans of space art and fiction. Participating in the chat sessions is fairly easy, requiring only an Internet-capable computer and the Hotline chat client for
