The frantic holiday season is one of the busiest times for Star Trek and its stars; here's a brief roundup of what's been happening and what's coming up.

Weakest Link Tonight

Tonight is the special Star Trek edition of NBC's hit game show The Weakest Link, featuring a whole slate of Star Trek actors as contestants, playing for charity (see related story here).

Hollywood Christmas Parade

This past weekend the Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade was held, and as usual, Star Trek's presence was felt. Enterprise was represented by a convertible carrying stars Connor Trinneer ("Trip Tucker"), Anthony Montgomery ("Travis Mayweather") and Dominic Keating ("Malcolm Reed"), who declared the galaxy safe for the holidays.

Also taking part in the Hollywood Christmas Parade were Star Trek: The Next Generation star and Enterprise episode director LeVar Burton ("Geordi La Forge") as well as Star Trek guest stars Ed Begley Jr. (Henry Starling from the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Future's End"), Christopher McDonald (Lt. Castillo from the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise") and Kurtwood Smith (Annorax from the Voyager episode "Year of Hell").

Parade Item #2

Speaking of Parades, this past weekend's edition of Parade Magazine, the weekly periodical that lives in Sunday papers across the country, featured several Enterprise stars on its cover, plus an interview with Scott Bakula ("Jonathan Archer") inside.

Pictured on the cover were Bakula, the aforementioned Dominic Keating and Jolene Blalock ("T'Pol"), all holding high-tech items (inside was a story about high-tech gadgets and gift ideas). For a look at the cover, visit the Parade site here.
